1deep9u: Sohyunna's guide to the arthouse in K-Pop



K-Pop is a simple enough thing to define, it is pop music in the Korean language; simple enough, right? Arthouse has no such luck, often being used as a catch-all term for anything without any explosions, in a foreign language, made for under £4, or completely incomprehensible. K-Pop music videos are usually simple to understand and very high budget, but I have chosen to explore the MVs which are more similar to Michael Haneke than Michael Bay. At least, that's what I will say but it is more than likely (read: absolutely certain) that these actually aren't arthouse at all and I am just posting them for a few cheap laughs. Either way, I will be looking at, as yet, an undecided number of videos and telling you why they should be screened in smoky picture, houses and analysed by turtleneck wearers for years to come, along with the arthouse directors who they mirror the most.

TOP is an A-List Actor

While I was working on the previous article on Won Bin, I was Googling a list of A-list actors to talk about on the Hollywood side. Guess who popped up too?

FUCKING LOL
NUFF SAID. I LIKE TOP AND ALL, BUT TO CONSIDER FREQUENTLY MENTIONED ON THE WEB AS AN A-LISTER AMONG GIANTS LIKE ROBERT DE NIRO OR AL PACINO?

WHAT A JOKE


Get your shit together, Google. Fix those algorithms so I don't have to laugh at my poor TOP...

TOP is One of Rolling Stone's 2013 Hottest Sex Symbols

Those of you familiar with me will know my undying love for all things TOP, but I'm not very delusional about it at all. I clearly see his (many) faults. For example:

He's a mediocre rapper (at best) who at least knows how to hype up a crowd and/or leverage his deeper register to cover his flawed/basic flows. He's a shitty dancer who can only really do a couple dance moves, and otherwise gives no shits on stage. He doesn't exactly drip sex appeal through the 2-3 layers of clothing he insists on wearing at all times. He's an alright actor whose portfolio consists of mostly typecasted stoic/troubled characters. He doesn't really do any crucial shit for Big Bang besides participate in the odd high-profile movie/CF.

All things considered, he's pretty much the Dara/Yoona/Sohee/etc of the crew -- only good for bringing in acting/CF money and looking good. But goddamn does he look good.

So you can imagine my surprise when I find out he made it onto Rolling Stone's 2013 List of Hottest Sex Symbols...
They didn't even pick one of his best pictures!!
