Support NeoGAF

vas_a_morir · Apr 10, 2012

So, I was searching my username, and sure enough, I found out that somebody took our thread on the Korean pop group Girls Generation/SNSD's performance on Letterman and translated it into Korean so I suppose Koreans could see how Americans reacted to the performance.

Kinda cool, huh? The crazy thing is, this is not the first time this happened. I once found out a GAF thread had been translated to Japanese.

So, Korean-speaking GAF... what are they saying about our thread? They have kind of a lengthy discussion about it. GAF's influence is almighty. It's a little freaky, really. The stuff you say may come back to bite you in the ass. :jnc

My korean is a bit rusty but one of the post says:

'Kim, whats wrong with your online translator? There is no way that american men are into childish pop music aimed at young girls. "

Haly · Apr 10, 2012

We could be internet community pen pals with them.

LOL! They'd have to take a look in the mirror on that one.

Rentahamster · Apr 10, 2012

They translated my post, complete with working link to the best song about BOYS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObyDKXHHshM

I'm honored.

She's right.

The people in those SNSD threads, I'm not sure what they are.

According to google translate, something about Spice Girls, and being horrible.

ChiTownBuffalo · Apr 10, 2012

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

They called NeoGaf a Sausage party.

And that NeoGaf is a shitty representation of foreigner opinion on KPOP.

And that NeoGaf is populated by Japan-lovers. My translation is rough on that one.

Populated by a bunch of SNSD lovers. Heh.

If we start ragging on the SNSD thread we'd have to delve into creepy GAF territory, and I don't think that's a war you want to fight.

Just to note, you do not have my sword.

Alucrid · Apr 10, 2012

k-pop gaf should now translate their thread to reclaim their creep throne

Rancid Mildew · Apr 10, 2012

Hopefully it shames them into creating something that isn't so embarrassing for them or for the human race.

They don't care about making something good as long as they can make some cash. I'm sure the girls are practically slaves making 20,000 dollars a year like NSYNC was.

I'm at work and Hangulmal isn't available on this comp, but I have a feeling you're not too far off.

Peru · Apr 10, 2012

They're making millions of US dollars a year and own expensive houses and cars, but sure, go with your narrative.

Anyway, know that if you insult k-pop gaf you have to face crocodile dundee: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=36337919&postcount=1784

All I'm saying is, as with pretty much 99.9% of pop acts put together by a record company, they are probably taking home a surprisingly small fraction of what they actually earn or are worth.

Mistouze · Apr 10, 2012

Neogaf was actually invented in Korea, Evilore just stole it from them.

True story.

If the Korean scene is anything like the Japanese, they're salaried employees.

Tell them I said they are just mad because they can't get their accounts approved.

ChiTownBuffalo · Apr 10, 2012

They really have a low opinion of Americans.

Just noticed that one dude's burning Japanese flag icon.

And with that, the wail of a thousand anime-wielding gaffers reverberated through the universe.

Sounds like they have us pegged pretty good.

I want more.

ChiTownBuffalo · Apr 10, 2012

Meh, Koreans are jerks anyway.

IAmtheFMan · Apr 10, 2012

This thread is surprisingly quiet for something related to SNSD... Title should be updated to include them. It's like a turkey call for the Keeaboos.

bengraven · Apr 10, 2012

ChiTown, try and tell them that not all of us are weaboo gaijin.

To be fair, I think a lot of the Kpop fans on GAF are Asian themselves.

Yeah, you have been.

Some are implying Gaffers/Americans who have a fascination with Japan, love Japan so much that they would work against Korea kind of way.

Whereas in that thread, I had a bad day and low impulse control and misdirected anger. So, basically a Korean day.

I don't think weeaboos would work against Korea.

One doesn't logically follow the other so I guess you have the advantage of sanity.

Like the word for "Friend of Japan" or "friend of America" is "chinilpa" or chinmipa."

But the historical/cultural context is that of a collaborator.
