 Here's a bunch of pics and videos from a Radio Show called Kpopular that came to Ewha and interviewed some fairly popular singers/rappers, and even got some questions from students (including my friend Kristen!) First up was Yoo SeungWoo, he's like 14 but a really popular up and coming singer, lots of the girls think he's cute I guess...Eric Nam is more my type tho :P I've got way more pics on my super special good quality camera so maybe i'll upload those later

 Eric Nam!! He's so cute!!! He was super adorable, and he's from the states so his english is perfect of course, and he was like...so legit like he didn't have any fake idol-ness or pretend character about him, he seemed really cool. I want to be his friend hahaha

 I swear when he waves in one of these videos, he was waving to me+my friends, I swear!! The crowd wasn't that big and I'm pretty distinctive, being one of the only white girls and also having blonde and blue hair sooo yeah.... :)

 Here's the electroboyz, they're pretty well known rappers, and they do a lot of backup rapping for singers in other songs too, so they're pretty popular. They were super cool.

 I think this guy in the red hair looks at my camera too at some point buuuut I can't remember :P

 We caught up with them near the stage afterward and everyone was taking pics with them so of course I had to get in on that and have some celebrity contact :P

Thaaaats' it for now. Ummm I'll do another post in a bit.
love you guys

p.s. it's raining out and its so lovely and warm and it smells like fresh spring

Pics from Cheonggyecheon Lanterns and Dream Concert

now, most of these videos won't mean anything to anyone unless you're familiar with Kpop...so feel free to just skip em if you want :)
Dream concert is literally this huge concert with tons and tons of big name Korean pop stars and pop groups who all perform a few songs. So basically, I got to see some of the top names in Korea perform live (even if it was terribly far away) ^^ It was fun, though not as fun as the concerts where I'm up close and personal with the stars, like the Teen Top concert I went to the day after...

Haha they had a huge projection of the English lyrics when two of the stars had a duet in English...I guess so they could read it and not forget the words :P
