Well, I am always happy for everyone to achieve their dreams. If they do, then all the best to them.

This is not to say that I don't like Min-gi's song, I like it. But it's fun to see another example of creativity in independent hip-hop being utilized by mainstream idol pop. Clearly Min-gi enjoys 제이통 as much as I do.

I really like #ATEEZ, and 민기 has a new song, "Roar" youtu.be/mdIT5Z4cLlY?.... Interestingly the song samples #JTong's "Woof." this is the MV, www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtFq... but the first version of the song is from a show, you can hear the sample at 0:17 here www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLCW...

It's weird. Like I almost can't explain it, but my ears and eyes just viscerally reject them. But I had bad taste at 14, so I guess they can probably fool a younger audience.

It's a bit ironic, considering that most K-pop groups that are successful are totally products of corporations, but somehow #CORTIS hits me in that "corporate sellout" vibe so hard, I can't stand it. I have rarely or even never had such a poor impression of a new group.

I registered for this, myself. Unfortunately I will be teaching that morning, the talk begins at 8am in Korea, but my class starts at 9. So I am planning to zoom in from the classroom and enjoy as much as possible before students start showing up.

South Korea: Surge in domestic violence feared during long Chuseok holiday
Police statistics show that violent incidents, particularly those occurring within families or intimate relationships, tend to rise during traditional holidays when relatives gather for extended periods.

WANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so sick of this isht I just found 3 more Korean articles that I could bring into the article I'm working on. Cause my monolingual Korean colleagues have insights. It's not just English language scholarship that matters, even if I can read it faster.

just throw it out. There are other scholars to read. Other books. Other articles. Other professors to teach a class.

The BEST someone can be without the language is just able to analyze secondary sources in a language they know.

If you don't speak Arabic, maybe you shouldn't call yourself a scholar of the Middle East. And if you don't speak Korean, maybe you shouldn't call yourself an expert on North Korea.

And if you are reading on these topics & you notice someone can't use the language, doesn't cite local scholarship,

Some scholars I know are working on a book on #Kpop/ #Kdrama/#hallyu fans of color. This is their recruitment for participants in the research project (interviewees, etc.) Please pass on the word. www.reddit.com/r/kpophelp/c...

I saw people wearing many different hanbok in a variety of colors and styles. #Korean #grammar #LoanWords

Here's your grammar reminder: when you use a Korean word in an English sentence, you do NOT add a plural /s/.

Just consider the words like words we don't pluralize in English-- sheep, deer, species and so on. Treat Korean like that.

X - Hanboks
O - Hanbok

I am saying this as one of only two Korean speaking faculty in my department. But since there are no requirements for professors to learn the language (as exist in other academic contexts abroad) why should they?

You're busy, you're teaching and doing research. If you don't know Korean, the department secretary will try to help in this way and that (for the smooth running of the department). So you actually get to avoid extra work by not learning Korean.

But at the higher level, in professional jobs, you can avoid certain things by playing your 'no Korean' card. Your 'foreigner' card. Universities have service work, but if you don't know Korean, you can only participate in service work to a certain extent. #ServiceWork

But English teachers and people working in universities are actually incentivized NOT to learn Korean. At the low level, in a #hagwon, the boss wants you to speak English only, and you don't have much free time to learn Korean. #학원 #whitecollar #EnglishMonkey

Foreigners who work in factories, farms etc. are incentivized to learn Korean. The more Korean they learn, the better they'll be treated--expressing themselves to a boss or Korean colleague literally humanizes them. #외국인 #LifeInKorea #LivinginKorea #Korea #LearnKorean #한국어

And yes, it's my age that I associate it with Orbison and Van Halen, and even that problematic Gere and Roberts film, so maybe for someone who hears this fresh it works better? Any thoughts?

making new ones. They don't have a #RoyOrbison sound. To me, this sound just doesn't work for S.Coups and Minkyu. I don't know. Maybe it will work for people who don't see an image of Orbison or Van Halen as soon as the music starts.

On a basic level, I've heard this song my whole life. It has distinctive memories already attached to it. And while this remake does play around with the original, do new things with it, it still keeps enough of the original that it connects to the middle or high school memories, instead of
