Hello Baby 21 subbed. I hope Taeyeon, Sunny, and Jessica come back for the last episode, this episode got kind of boring after Jessica left for her schedule.

yes sooyoung should have long hair forever! i like the abundance of taeny shots lol
How can people prefer long hair Sooyoung to short hair I'll never understand. Makes her look even skinnier, and just less attractive overall. Back when her hair was short in the Hello Baby days she was at her best, especially the earlier episodes when she seemed to have a tan for some reason.

Either I made up lies about the Boston Bomber or I fell for someone else's crap. Either way, I have absolutely no credibility and you should never pay any attention to anything I say, no matter what the context. Perm me if I claim to be an insider
Well, I'm creeped out.

Do you guys think the weeaboo era is coming to an end, with Koreaboo coming in as a replacement? Every few years, Hallyu comes and goes, but it seems like it's here to stay this time. There are so many Koreaboos

I think weeaboo's as a whole have always been more centered around otaku culture. So they are more about anime, manga, video games, and anything related to those. They are more into, what they would refer to as, 2D idols (drawn/animated characters). Obviously there are those that are more interested in music or Japanese culture in general but I think they've always been the minority.Aruarian Reflection said:Do you guys think the weeaboo era is coming to an end, with Koreaboo coming in as a replacement?

In other words, you'll find most of your GAF weeaboos in the manga/anime threads and on the gaming side (Visual Novel thread for instance).

Digital media has allowed it to flourish, and it gained a momentum to improve production values to a truly competitive level. In terms of continuing to flourish, it's hard to tell what the limit is before over-saturation starts to hurt more than it helps. Insofar as idol groups go, I don't think they will last. Group frenzy has always come and gone in music from many different cultures, so I don't see why it would last in Korea.Aruarian Reflection said:Do you guys think the weeaboo era is coming to an end, with Koreaboo coming in as a replacement?

As for koreaboos, the phenomenon seems to mostly be kids, and they should grow out of it. For some it may end up becoming a more genuine, serious interest and dedication to Korea as a culture and country, while with others it will be just some weird obsessive phase they went through. Korea is still kind of self-isolated, so I think for some Koreans it is hard to tell the difference between these two or even when they can easily, to feel much differently about them anyway.
I say this because I started in it as the former and only got into kpop through my Korean friends because I love music in general. Kpop is rather small to me, and I really care more about the culture and country in a general sense, prefer just sharing life with my Korean friends and also older folk from the Korean church I attend. Some of the younger Koreans I know have asked me why I took an interest in Korea, and their attitude seemed like they had no idea why an outsider would ever care, or even for some reason that they shouldn't ever care. I guess because of the nature of the culture and the attitudes typically shown to them, it is understandable, yet it shouldn't be seen as any different from them coming to the US, and in reality it isn't.
Some friends came here for school and grad school and I saw them go through phases of familiarity with this culture and deliberate on whether it was where they wanted to be. I've seen some go back saying Korea is their home they can't leave, and others stay here. Such individuals are more understanding of my interest in Korea than younger ones who are here because their parents moved here, yet those parents and others like them who made a permanent move here completely get why and how I can have a serious interest in another country such as Korea, and they are glad about it.
I kind of lost track of where I was going with all this, but I guess I'm saying that the whole koreaboo issue is just like any other interest. You can have an extensive knowledge of something while still only having moderate interest and a balanced life focus. For some people, however, they get so fixated on something because it is novel to them, and it can become creepy. With some people, these things happen with foreign culture, yet with plenty of other people it happens with things of local culture. Whether here or there, it is odd behavior, but some people being crazy about something doesn't automatically invalidate it as something of value and also shouldn't make you feel like you can't appreciate it without being crazy yourself.
