To be quite fair most of them are just memorising it. They do take classes to learn the language but their conversational skills are really basic and their pronunciation is distinctly Korean.

This is what happens in most of the groups. Unless they stay base in Japan, they will not learn a fluent level of Japanese.
Most Soshi struggles, expect Sooyoung who was in Japan for some years, and perfectionist Seohyun, if she has to learn something, she will do it.

 

[No No Eul]

Dat crowd. 0_0

Wow.

It's been taken down. I'm pretty sad about this.

These should still be working:

Luna

Can't wait to watch the show proper.

More Yoona SKT CF nonsense:


Edit:

Psy. This shit cray!!!!

I can't really think of any group that's very good. I'm guessing the best at the moment is Kara. But even then last time I saw them have an interview they needed interpreters.

My facebook feed is flooded with my friends' photos of the Psy concert. Makes me wish I was back in Korea and able to go with them.

 

[vanty]

Yeah they usually they just learn pronunciation and some basics. Idols who really learn the language like Seungri or I guess Seohyun aren't too common.

2NE1 did quite well from the one Japanese variety show I saw them do (that 007 one). I'm pretty sure CL is fluent and I think Minzy is pretty advanced as well.

 

[llehuty]

Gentleman MV is hilarious. The Jaesuk scene was glorious.

And Seungri just learns it to pick up girls and strangle them

So its the abracadabra dance. I'm ok with that. I hope BEG get some cashmoney from this.

Pretty sure BEG didn't make the choreography for Abracadabra though lol.

It's out? Or was it just played at the concert?

Infinity Challenge mixed with Running Man (I recognise some locations such as the library and diving boards), with a straight rip of the Abracadabra dance (and did I see a move similar to what Kim Jong Kook often does?).

Concept was ok, but he could have been more of an asshole.

 

[Pendulum]

Played at concert, followed by live performance. Should be out in 10 or so mins?

 

[Honey Bunny]

I just mean from the inevitable extended interest in Ga In and the Abracadabra MV from PSY's MV

Oh yeah, no doubt they'll see a sudden rise in views of Abracadabra because of this.

YG have this counter that's going up for some reason ahah.

Taeyang album release? Hence why it's not #happening

So I hear you like Ga-in

That was great. How did they manage to record outside without fans?

 

[Tenck]

G for Ga-In

That was fast. Thanks a bunch.

And yeah, definitely like her a lot just from that MV. I'm easily swooned. I'm so pathetic ;_;

She's also in the group that originally performed the dance in Psy's new video.

Don't really like the song or the video.

Song I can feel, but how can you not enjoy this video? It's so much fun.

Video is pretty fun, but that's 90% because I recognise HaHa, YJS and Ga-in. Obviously won't do anything like Gangnam Style did worldwide because both the video and song aren't as good and the song isn't catchy (for non-Korean speakers at least).

I didn't expect Gangnam Style to catch on outside of Korea either. To be honest this song seems more foreigner friendly.

Video is more hilarious too.

 

[llehuty]

Next weeks comebacks don't have a chance.

Pretty much. I was scared they were just going to do 'crazy moves' - but there's a funny story here, even a love story, and I laughed out loud several times.

Yes

sucks so bad it hurts. Psy's music used to be good.

It's grown on me. And I am a huge advocate of Psy's older stuff, especially his second and third album era stuff.

It doesn't hurt, anyway.

 

[RubyFaith]

I'm not into music that sounds the same with a shittier hook. Oh well, though. Hope Psy doesn't embarrass himself too much.

He won't because so far reaction to the song is really positive.

And the dude doesn't get embarrassed, that's what he's all about bro.

 

[beatsan]

I like the video. The song is ok, but I think I like it more now that I saw the vid.

Ga-In looks great.

Thanks! Me too-- looking forward to it.

I'm pretty sure that's rice not intestines. You can see the machine that makes it behind them.

It looked like uncooked 순대 to me, but yeah dunno. Either way it's funny.

Looking at it now it could very well be 떡 not that it matters lol.

Video and song are pretty meh, I like the women in the vid though. Ga-in is awesome.

Yes sir, she's One Of A Gain.

Closest I've seen:

And even then I can't be sure it isn't fake as the pic doesn't seem to be in wide use.

Goodbye, Hello from Music Core last night

Damn there are some hateful dudes in that Psy thread. I like the video and Ga-in is straight fire here.

To be expected of Off Topic Gaf in a Kpop related thread really.

 

[Pendulum]

@tatsuki, you should be posting this in here too. I'd prefer not to have to visit that Off Topic Psy thread.

Although I found this Gangnam Style/Gentleman comparison interesting. Yeah, they aren't straight up the same, but there are hoops both song jump through.

 

[dokish]

Gentleman is not as vibrant and "fuck yeah!" vibe as Gangnam Style, but I think its good to. Not sure if it will stick with western audiences, but the style is not very different from what we are used to hear around here.

The MV is great though, and Gain alone saves it.
