UPDATED K-pop Q&A.

I was looking through my old Tumblr, yes I have one, and I found these K-pop questionnaires that I filled up about two years ago. I cooled off K-pop in the first half of 2014 and only now have I been back in the game (thank you, WINNER).

I thought it would be interesting to fill them up again. Maybe my tastes have changed (no) or I've warmed up to more acts (eh). Let's see.

20 Questions for YG사장님

Don't get me wrong, I love YG Entertainment.  I will honestly listen to anything they put out.  Even that gawd-awful 나쁜 기집애 mess.  But they are not above criticism.  A lot of the things they do frustrate me to no end because (1) I don't see the point of doing such and such, (2) what ever that plan is, it doesn't make sense, (3) what they say contradicts something they've preached in the past.  

We are nearing the end of 2013 and YG still has a LOT of things "planned" and with the speed, or lack thereof, of their promotions and releases, I don't think 3 months is enough time.  And clearly, he plays favorites.  You can tell me otherwise but you know it's true.

So here are the 20 things I want to ask, point out, and remind him about his very talented artists:
  1. This may be answered before and I'm just not paying attention but... who is the ??? in G-Dragon's song 결국?  Can we add this to Jennie Kim's "featuring" album?  Aren't there other girls in this group?  Aren't they good enough for featuring stints?
  2. What happened to the full MV for Let's Talk About Love?  You don't tease us like that and then forget about it?  That teaser was so effective, it blew up the Internet for a second. It got people talking.  Plus, there's that GDYB featuring.  할말있어요 is a hot song but LTAL MV teaser is hotter.
  3. September is almost over.  CL was taking pictures with random celebrities. in NYC.  Dara was there somewhere also.  Minzy and Bom were... where are they?  And where is the September single from 2NE1?  What happened to "releasing one single per month until the October album release?" 
  4. You have SIX MONTHS to debut 악동뮤지션, YG.  Six months.
  5. Is it possible that the new, non-Bubble Butt GD&TOP single on the new Big Bang album?  Ala- Big Bang Special Edition CD with Oh Yeah and High High?  
  6. In that same vein, GD&TOP, Volume 2 anyone?  I mean, you don't name your album "Volume 1" without a promise of a subsequent offering.  
  7. And also, how about that Jay Park + G-Dragon collaboration?  Was that even true?
  8. Can you just debut all of the WIN kids?  They don't have to be in the same groups as they are on the show.  Maybe pull an EXO or a One Day.  SM and JYP did it so why can't you?  (Or just have Seungri manage a sub-agency and debut the "losing" team, naming them... well, "Victory".)
  9. Speaking of Seungri, obviously he can write good songs too.  Why not let him write a song for Big Bang?  Sure, GD can help and TOP can write his own rap parts but I want to see Seungri's name as first billed in a Big Bang song.
  10. I've seen this happen twice.  Once for TOP and once for your kid, GD.  Define "too hip-hop".  When YG heard some of the material TOP was working on for his solo release, YG didn't like it because it was "too hip-hop".  And again, in GD's newest album, he also said some of the songs in consideration were "too hip-hop".  For an agency that defines itself as predominantly hip-hop, why this exception?  
  11. The Jennie Kim - Bom Park parallel.  Jennie has taken over Bom's place as the go-to featuring artist at YG.  How long did it take for Bom to debut?  How many featurings did she do before that (5)?  How many will it take Jennie?
  12. Is Gummy still with YG?  Last I heard, her contract was expiring.  Updates, please.  
  13. As for Se7en, will you welcome him back to your company again after he gets discharged?  You kinda need him to keep TOP happy lol.  I need my handsome Choi brothers back.  And yes, we can include Mithra Jin there also.  I want that photo to happen.
  14. Please kill all plans to have CL go solo.  She is not effective on her own.  I'm not saying this because I can't stand her, alone or otherwise.  She's fab when she's against the 3 other 2NE1 girls.  She outshines them.  But on her own, she disappears.  Her stage presence works when she's with other people.  It even works against GD.  I honestly can't even remember any of her 나쁜 기집애 solo stages because she gets buried in all those flags and shiny things.  GD walks the thin line between G-Dragon and Kwon Jiyong like a pro.  Between CL and Chaerin, I have a hard time believing either one.  
  15. Let's talk about Kang Seung Yoon.  The kid can sing.  Very well.  If you don't know what to do with him (because you're a "hip-hop agency" and rock is out of your league), keep an open mind and see what he can do.  Don't force him into a box.  You spent two seconds on his promotion and went straight to this WIN thing.  While I'm liking WIN, I would've liked Kang Seung Yoon to have his own thing for a little longer before he disappears into a generic boy group.  He can do it, with the right support, which I know YG can provide.
  16. When are you going to have another YG Family Concert?  I know we're missing Se7en (and possibly Gummy, too.  My mom said she'll go with me if Se7en is there. She LOVED his version of Lonely with Seungri, Taeyang, and Daesung. I even told her that I'll buy her a Se7en lightstick lol) but at least we can have an Epik High party.  Can Epik Bang happen again?  Fan, please.
  17. During the ALIVE TOUR in California, G-Dragon did this awesome as fck "remix" of Crayon.  At MAMA2012, Big Bang did this bomb ass mashup of Crayon+Fantastic Baby called Monster in Me with TOP and his amazing rap verse.  Is it too much to ask for an official release of that?  Those were awesome.
  18. I love Psy.  But I really wish you kept the production in-house.  It's not that I don't have faith in the people he's with now but I fear that he's going to lose that thing that makes his music distinctly Psy.  I mean, do these American music bigwigs understand him?  His music?  Idk, man.  And please, keep GD out of their grasp.
  19. Epik High.  I know that YG사장님 is the JJ Abrams of K-pop... can't juggle more than one project at a time (and once he gets into a new thing, the previous unfinished project falls apart.... I still hate you for fcking up Alias, Abrams) but I'm just reminding you, sir.  Or at least add Tablo to your regular roster of songwriters and producers.
  20. If you're going to set up a US branch, please let it be in Los Angeles.  And can I work for you?  ㅋㅋㅋ...  I don't care if I'll be an elevator operator or greeter.  ;-)
So there's my list.  Do you have anything to add?  Being a YG Stan is frustrating as hell, I know.  But we love our YG artists no matter what.  Uhm... most of the time, anyway.  LOL!

내게 생일 선물!


I've been a Mac user for close to ten years.  I made the switch and never went back.  Using Windows computers is a necessary work hazard but I've been pretty faithful to Mac when it comes to my personal computer.  Although I prefer the Samsung S3 over the iPhone, nothing beats an Apple computer.

I've had my trusty Macbook White for almost seven years.  It began to show signs of wear a little over a year ago.  The OS was phased out and I could not use some newer apps because I need an OS update.  And if Safari itself bails on you, that means you need to do something with your OS.  But I didn't have enough memory to go from Tiger to Mountain Lion.  Yes, Tiger.  I had to find versions of some apps so they can work with the measly OSX 10.4.11.

Spotify was one of those apps that did NOT have a version that worked on 10.4.11.  I love Spotify.  LOVE. IT.  And it irked me that I have access to it at work but not at home where I needed it the most.  It almost made me want to opt for a cheaper Windows netbook just so I can download Spotify.  But no... I held out for another year until finally, I just gave in.

There came a point where I didn't even want to attempt using my old Macbook.  It was slow, it had no memory, and it was just old.  It was time for a change.

I admit that Spotify is one of the main reasons why I caved.  I wanted it so badly.  And also, the price.  Best Buy has the least expensive price point for Apple products right now.  Plus, it's my birthday month... since my NYC (and South Korea) trip is no longer happening, I want to do something special for my quarter life year.  Even if it meant crazy spending.

KCON 2013 DAY ONE: A Very YG Day


KCON!  What to expect?  If you know me, I'm a true blue YG stan.  So what am I doing at a weekend-long convention where there is only one YG representative?

I HAD A FCKING BLAST!  I'm so glad I went and I would go again next year if it's accessible to me like this year's.  I had so much fun walking around, seeing so many things, meeting people, and seeing celebrities in person!


I had a whole outfit planned out weeks ahead of time.  But I scrapped that the night before.  The only thing I kept in my plan is my nail art.  Messy as heck but what do you expect from an 11:30PM rush job?  ;-)  Inspired by Dara's Do You Love Me nails.  Salamat po, ate Sandy!

Up to the time I had to leave, I had no idea what to expect.  I actually didn't know much about KCON until I finally got there.  I didn't know how to get to the venue, that one.  The perks don't mean anything to me.  And I didn't know how the convention worked.  Was it like Comic-Con?  What's the food situation?  Schedules?  Ahhh... going in blind here.

When they said that VIP1 and VIP2 registration starts at 8AM, I should've obeyed.  You see, I got there at around 9-9:30AM.  The line stretched the whole length of the stadium.


 I was in line for 2 hours.  The general ticket line went by faster than any of the VIPs.  Actually, the VIP1 line was the slowest.  IDGI.

Anyway, I got in eventually.  And I have to thank my 미샤 비비크림 and her SPF42.  I may have a scoop neck-shaped sunburn on my chest but my face is untouched.  I totally forgot sunscreen but at least it's not so bad.  I'm not peeling lol.  It doesn't hurt lol.  It doesn't bother me lol.  Two days under the sun and I only have that burn to show for it.  XD

The VIP2 package included a swag bag - KCON light stick, pin buttons, post cards, etc. - and scratch cards (peel-off cards, actually) where you can score any of the following: red carpet viewing (I got a "sorry"), autograph signing (also a "sorry"), and viewing session.  I scored a viewing session with f(x).  Don't get me wrong, I was excited.  I like f(x).  But I was also a wee bit disappointed.  I woke up that morning so confident that I the K-pop gods will be in my favor and gift me with seeing GD the day before the concert (where I will see him anyway).  I guess not.  But GD isn't the only reason why I went to KCON.  Really!  Hehehe...

I was honestly looking forward to the food trucks, especially Seoul Sausage.  I may love K-pop but there are days when Food Network is the only thing I watch.  As you know, Seoul Sausage won the 3rd season of The Great Food Truck Race, the season I was most passionate about.  I couldn't wait to see them and taste their food.  And of course, I love food truckin'.

The only thing on the menu that day was the spicy pork sausage and while I'm not fond of spicy foods, I enjoyed it a lot.  I think I'm building a tolerance to spice thanks to that Cheetos Cheesy Salsa Mixups that I love so much lol.  I ate half and saved half for my mom who is also a Food Network fan.  Hahaha...

This is a fangirling photo that doubles as an outfit of the day. 
After eating, my friends and I decided to see what was there to see.  And there was a lot!  Workshops, games, outdoor stages, booths, more food... it was crazy.  The energy was high and it was fun just being in all of that.

Some people were by the entrance with signs saying that they're willing to trade so-and-so pass for another one.  Some were even buying/selling for upwards of $200.  I was happy with my f(x) one but when it seemed like the YGods were still smiling over me.  A girl was trading her G-Dragon pass for an f(x) audience pass, the one that I have.  I snatched that puppy up faster than anyone can say "Hot Summer".  I hands were shaking and my heart was beating so fast!

I mean, I was literally jumping.  So happy! From there, I knew my KCON experience was going to be fantastic.  (Yes, I am easy to please lol.)

Saturday was a hot day and I decided to drop by some panels until it was time for GD.  The Vintage K-pop panel caught my eye not only because I was genuinely interested in it but... Danny 오빠 was one of the panelists.  Joining him were 차유미 of Baby VOX and DJ Koo.  The lady from Soompi was the moderator.


I didn't get to finish the whole panel but the bulk of what I saw was so YG, it was like watching a YG panel instead of the actual topic.  The moment Danny Im sat down, he just won me over.  I could not help but get a bit trigger-happy.  I also shot some videos but the camera I used picked up a lot of noise so I'd rather not share. 
"What is this? Look, they recycle name tags."

Can we talk about this hotness for a second?  I mean... remember the article I wrote for The One Shots?  Maybe there is some truth at the thought that darker skinned East Asians are viewed as sexier than their paler counterparts.  Uh-muh-nuh.  I just... okay, calming down now.  ㅋㅋㅋ...

It was a rather interesting panel.  These three guests are already considered K-pop industry veterans and what they've experienced were different than the K-pop we know today.  They compared the "training" then and now, how they entered the business, and offered advice and insights to those planning to follow their footsteps.

When asked for "advice for those who want to pursue K-pop", both Yumi and Danny said to "learn Korean".  Being Korean-Americans, they spoke more English.  As Yumi shared, "I speak more Korean now than back then when I was a trainee. Even simple interviews where hard."  For Danny, "I was lucky I had Teddy with me."  And quite the opposite, DJ Koo said through the interpreter, "These two wanted to learn Korean. I wish I improved on my English," with everyone bursting into laughter.  (I actually understood what he said even without the translation. Pretty proud of myself for that lol.)

Now, if Danny wasn't enough YG for you, the next question was a kicker.  They were asked which they think is the best K-pop artist of today... or something to that effect lol.  Here is what Danny said semi-verbatim (I took a video but I ain't sharin' it):
There's so many talented people from all the groups and I think... one thing I always thought was we really have a lot of talented people.  For me... I think it's gonna sound biased but - LAUGHS - for real, especially with Big Bang. [Not because they're YG] The reason I do like them is because [...] they have a lot of variety that stands out, you know.  Even right now, they're doing so many solo projects and stuff like that and even ventures besides music. So instead of being just a whole group together, they kinda just, you know, sometimes [the personality comes out through their own styles].
Oh you can tell 오빠 is more than just biased.  He's proud of his 후배들.  DJ Koo seemed to agree, mentioning G-Dragon and giving him massive props.  And if that wasn't enough, Yumi went on to say that she likes 2NE1 and thinks they're unique.

I had to leave shortly after that - I swear, it wasn't on purpose - to go lineup for GD's session thing.  But before I did, one other question was, "What is the thing that you miss the most about being an idol?"

Yumi shared something about getting fanmail where the sender would tell them about her day, how their music touched her.  Yumi said it was nice to be a part of someone's like like that, no matter how small.  Danny said he missed being on stage.  And oh, "We never shut the door [to 1TYM]".  How fcking cool would that be?!

On my way to the GD session, I saw Lydia Paek.  The YGods were giving it their all to me that day.  Fresh from a YGfied panel with Danny Im to bumping into a YG songwriter on my way to a G-Dragon audience session.  The only thing that can top that is.... well, a TOP appearance!  XD

I ended up near the back of the line but that's okay.  I still got to see him.  I admit, I paid more attention to taking pics than what he was actually saying so thank goodness for fancams.


It was definitely G-Dragon up there and not the adorable 권지용.  Diva.  Dude, he didn't even look at the audience properly and didn't speak much English at all.  He sat there, half facing the interpreter, with his sunglasses on and a grim expression on his mouth.  He did crack a smile when we sang him "Happy birthday".  But whatevs, dude.  That's G-Dragon for you.



One thing that I regretted at the ALIVE tour is that I don't have a decent photo of GD.  He's so active, my phone's camera is not fast enough for him.  But now that he was on his ass, I had some nice ones even with the distance.  (Yes, I watermarked this one. I know how bitchy you K-pop crazies can get. Heh. But I'm not saying you can freely take the others.)

I still had some hours to kill before Day One ended so like a moth to a flame, I found myself at the Food Truckin' Through LA panel.  I eyed this panel ever since the schedule was released and it's definitely my favorite out of all the ones I attended.

But before that, I sat down a bit to Instagram a GD pic.  When I looked up, bam... straight into Danny오빠.  And oh, Mina Kwon was with him.  OMG.  미안해요, 오빠, 언니.  It didn't hurt.  I was too shy to stop and ask for a photo though.  DX  Anyway.........


Food trucking is HUGE in the Southern California area, especially Los Angeles.  I love food trucking and have sampled a good number of them these past years, either from seeing them parked somewhere or going to actual food truck gatherings.  I even had my whole family into it.  And you already know of my Food Network obsession, yeah?  Got it?  Good.

The panel was moderated by Seoul Sausage's Yong Kim.  With him were his brother Ted Kim, Bellybombz's Youngho Yoo and Albert Shim, and Marcos Martinez of East LA Tacos.  I didn't catch the beginning of the panel but I caught a good bit of it.  I admit, I was so excited to see the Kim brothers.  I wanted Seoul Sausage to win their season from the first episode.  And they seemed like really fun guys.  Needless to say, I acted like a complete fangirl.

East LA Tacos serves up a fusion of Mexican and Korean tastes.  They have a sauce called "KoMex" and they claim that it's "definitely hot".  If you survive it, your meal is free.  Marcos Martinez shared a story where a female customer braved the KoMex sauce and totally lost it.  She puked all over the place but she did like it and, "has come back since."  Hahaha!  I'm a chicken so it's either mild spice for me or none at all.  XD

Bellybombz have sliders and Korean-inspired chicken wings on the menu.  I planned to try it out during KCON Day Two but I didn't get around to doing so.  I'm currently looking around for them.  I have seen them before but my "fear" of spicy foods has kept me from trying more Korean food.

The Seoul Sausage guys shared some stories of when they were on The Great Food Truck Race.  Ted said that in the first episode in the LA area, they wanted to attract customers so he pretended to be a K-pop star.  LOL!  Then he followed it up that it's a "KCON joke".  Hahaha, idk if that's true or not but hey, anything to get the customers in, right?  [EDIT: I rewatched the first episode of season 3 and... YES, THIS ANECDOTE IS TRUE.]

During that panel, the Food Network fangirl and foodie in me came out.  They asked if any of us go to food trucks on a regular basis.  A few hands were raised but even more said that KCON was their first food truck experience.  When they asked which trucks we've tried at the event so far, I yelled out "Seoul Sausage".  Hahaha... no shame at being a fangirl, yeah?  After all, we were all fangirls (and fanboys) at KCON.  Youngho Yoo asked what other food trucks we've tried.  Some mentioned the other trucks at outside - Tornado Potato, Dogzilla, etc.  I said the Nom Nom Truck.  "I haven't seen them around lately," Youngho 씨 said.  Nom Nom has been closed for some months now.  Temporarily.  He also asked me how I found out about them and I said, "The show (Great Food Truck Race)."

"That's one way to get your name out there.  Join a show."  LOL.  I felt embarrassed for a second but hey, if being a fangirl gets you noticed... why not?  :)

"Go check us out. G-Dragon loves Seoul Sausage!"  Hahaha!  I'm sure Joe Hahn of Linkin Park does but GD?  I wonder if he's tried any of the "local wares" other than In'n'Out.  You're so touristy, GD.

East LA Tacos said that if we visited their truck and mentioned that we were at the panel, we get a free taco.  I wanted to but I had to go somewhere.  Never say no to free food!  XD

The panels were all done but the dance party was just starting.  I made my way back to the outdoor stage and got something to eat.  The food buying situation is tricky.  You have to have to buy food stubs and they have to be exact because vendors cannot give out change.  Aish.  I had so much left since all I ate was that spicy pork sausage from earlier.  So I decided to get something sweet.

I know of Tous Les Jours from my vacation in the Philippines.  But instead of getting a pastry, I tried their mango shaved ice.  It needed more milk in my opinion but it was good.  Shin B was partying up on the stage and after that, the DJ played some good ole K-pop for everyone to dance to.  Some people knew the choreography, especially this one fanboy who danced to SM songs better than anyone else.  An awesome surprise was when the DJ played TOP's Turn it Up.  I also caught Dynamic Duo's meet and greet from a ledge overlooking the event area.  Some fellow VIPs were hanging out there also and we had a good friendly conversation.  I never caught their names but they said they're from Sacramento and like me, they got their tickets after the GD announcement.  See, I'm not the only crazy one!  XD

As Day One came to a close, I admit I did have a TON of fun.  At first, I had my doubts.  I knew next to nothing about these other acts... will I be able to have fun and get my money's worth... will I be able to stand these hardcore K-pop fanatics?  A huge YES.  네. 대박!  I was telling my mom on the ride home that I was so glad I went.  It's an awesome experience to not only get all the K-pop I can handle but also feed the foodie in me.  Not to mention the KPTB (K-pop Powers that Be) made it extra YGfied for me... 고맙슴니다. 정말 고맙슴니다.

K-Con '13 is less than 20 days away.


티켓을 여기 있어!

 I feel that "Fangirling Is An Expensive Hobby" should be a hashtag or a series of some sort.  After all, most - if not ALL - my fangirl related purchases are done on impulse.  Not to mention my blatant disregard for my budget (what budget? lol).

I received my K-Con 2013 ticket yesterday.  Wow, I'm really going.  Hee!  Pray that I survive the pit again.  Going VIP for the Alive Tour was glorious but the K-Con pit will have more than just VIPs (BIGBANG fans, I mean).  We'll see.  I'm sure it'll be fun.

Speaking of other K-Pop acts, I'm currently immersing myself to the music of the other groups performing at K-Con.  I already like f(x) and I'm reaaaaally loving their new album, Pink Tape.  I know OF 2AM and EXO.  I'm pretty much okay with K-Pop ballads (more 4Men than 2AM, I admit).  After listening to EXO-K's XOXO, I can say that I do like them.  But I can't take Wolf seriously.  Nothing about it... I just can't.  Bangin' choreography though.  Awwwoooo... lol.  I've actually taken to calling CNN's Wolf Blitzer, Oolf. 


I know next to nothing about Teen Top although I enjoyed their version of Sunset Glow.  I liked Henry's song Trap.  I don't know much about 유승우 though.  And waaah, Dynamic Duo.  Together with DJ Koo, I'm pretty sure it'll be a party!

How would the set list look like?  They can put EXO first, to pump the crowd up, or last.  G-Dragon will probably come last, if not during the 2nd half.  Crayon and 미치GO definitely.  I hope he does at least one BIGBANG song.  I'm looking forward to f(x) so much.  I don't care if they lip synch, I like them a lot.  I wonder if there will be collabs.  I mean, EXO, Henry, and f(x) are all from SM Entertainment.  But how about GD?  Will he be a lone dragon?  He'll probably do something with the other hip-hop people.  Whatevs, it'll be a good show, I hope.

I'm all set with the glow sticks.  I definitely have more than one should have lol.  I'm debating whether to bring one of my BIGBANG glowsticks.  Eh... I might.  I also plan to dye my hair a bit more red (than it is now, which is a reddish burgundy).  As for outfits, depends on the weather.  Or I can just go ahead and purchase the KESH X American Apparel Cotton Spandex Dress.

 
Too much?  Yeah, I think so too.  But when I saw this at the outlets in Las Vegas over the weekend, I didn't even think Bom or 2NE1 or K-Con.  I just wanted that dress.  Still do.  It has this Eye of Horus / Clockwork Orange vibe.  I wish the line had a regular women's tank top instead of the crop top.

What else... eh, it's too early for prep work.  I might end up not doing any of them anyway lol.  I just want to be ready... musically, I guess.  I'm enjoying these so far and then some.  I will still put on Fantastic Baby from time to time but at least now, I have Peter Pan and Toy in the mix.

Singing Out Loud

Have you ever lost yourself in a song?  You're in your own little world, headphones on, and really getting into the song you're listening to and singing along to it.  At first, in your head and then you don't realize that you're singing out loud also.  That happens to me all the time.  I have no shame lol.

Earlier this afternoon, I stopped by Rite Aid to pick up some stuff.  As usual, I had my earphones on listening to my K-Pop.  Ugly by 2NE1 comes on.  I know all the actual words to that song.  Usually, I just mouth the words and pretend I'm doing a music video for it.  I know, 미친.  Anyway, I find that song so easy to sing that eventually, sounds began to come out of my mouth as I perused the Revlon racks.

난 왜 이렇게 못난 걸까
어떡하면 나도너처럼환하게
웃어볼 수 있을까

또 화가나 왜 늘 완벽하지 못해
이 깨진 가울 숙 못난 모습을 향해 탓하기만 해

쳐다보지마 지금 이 느낌이 싫어난
어디론가 숨고만 싶어 벗어 나고 싶어
이 세상은 자짓말

And of course, I stop there.  I don't sing the English lyrics out loud because someone might hear and yeah, they understand English and all that good stuff.

But this time was different.  As I listened to CL do the chorus, I felt someone tap me on the shoulder.  I turn and what do you know, there's a Korean lady behind me.  Uh-oh.  Did I make a fool out of myself, butchering those poor harmless Korean lyrics?

Lady: Excuse me.  For a bit there, I thought you were Korean.
Me:  O________O  What do you mean?
Lady: I have students who like K-Pop and try to sing K-Pop.  But of course, they learn the lyrics by ear and just say what it sounds like to them.  With you, I actually understood the words.  Even if I didn't know what song you were singing.
Me: Wow, really?  ^_______^ 
Lady: Yes.  You have very good pronunciation.  대박!
Me: Hahaha, 고마워요.
Lady: Are you taking lessons or...?
Me: Yes, lessons.  It's good to know that my efforts are going somewhere.
Lady: Keep it up.  You were really good.  And your voice sounds really good also.  And it's amusing to me that you don't sing the English words.

Haaaah!  Such a nice feeling!  I'm always shy practicing what little Korean that I know with native speakers.  It's normal; being afraid to make a mistake.  But how can you learn without errors, right?  I jump into any opportunity to practice or immerse myself in the language.  And if anything, I love the way it sounds.

Anyway, I'm glad that I'm making progress with this language thing... may it be just in song.  :D  At least when I go to 노래방, I can sound convincing.  ㅋㅋㅋ...
