Korea fails at being subtle

I don't see this song catching on in western markets.

haha, yeah. Working in your second language it's easy to go from hip to completely inappropriate. This song is already pretty dirty in Korean too. They could have done with a few indefinite articles though. It sounds like the chick is trying to les on to some other girl.

Wow. . .I'd love to think this is a brilliant parody. But groups like the black eyed peas have proven this sort of hilariously inane bullshit can be pretty successful with the young people.

you don't give Korea enough credit, just look at these fine examples

YOU MUST WATCH IT ALL THE WAY THROUGH!

I find it hard to believe the translation:
"I assure you my junk is real"

How is this any less subtle than Akon - "I Wanna Fuck You" or Riskay - "Smell Yo Dick" or many other western songs?


No ever said it was less subtle than those, but for generic pop, this is pretty bad.

My post was in response to the view that working in a foreign language allows you to be less subtle with your lyrics. Popular songs, like Akon - "I Wanna Fuck You" have no trouble being just as vulgar and inappropriate using the audience's native language. In fact, saying "I want to fuck you" in english in Korea is more subtle, as it may not carry the same level of negative connotations to a Korean.

I know you'll all just call me gay, but this reached some other kind of uncanny valley with me. This made me feel almost disgusted and put off with the "i just want to fuck you" and her thrusting her pelvis around. It was almost like i was thinking about the amount of people she was announcing that to and the ocean of semen she was swishing around every time she moved her hips. Euch. Total turn off.

Oh, in before "i'll go to her uncanny valley!"

Thanks a lot, I had nothing better to think of than "oceans of semen"...
