The Twerkvasion Continues

THE DAY HAS FINALLY COME.

Twerk Queen Min opened the gates for her people, now we get the first ever OFFICIAL KPop twerking concept.

A lot more after the jump.

New KPop girl group "WASSUP" (inb4 cultural appropriation cause only black people are allowed to use "Ebonic slingo") is getting ready to debut, and their first ever concept is, you guessed it, all about twerking. They've released 3 teasers so far in rapid succession. Check out the rest for yourselves:

Youtube channel was deleted for "Violating Terms and Services..."
Scandalousssssss~

Alright, I admit it. At first I was really really excited for this. I mean after all, if the song quality in KPop is getting trashier and trashier by the release, I don't see why concepts can't follow suit. Korea could use a good twerk session to the face to shake things up, and WASSUP seemed like the group to do it at first blush. The first thing I saw was this:

I thought to myself, "DAMN. FINALLY, A KOREAN BROAD WHO CAN SHAKE IT LIKE A PRO? AND WITH REAL ASS+HIPS TO BOOT (heh)?!" For the most ephemeral of moments, it felt like the golden age had finally come upon us... until I saw the rest of the package (heh).

Not only are most of the girl group UNABLE to twerk very proficiently, we get this shit on top:

FUCKING SHIT.

The most twerk-capable member of the group just had to be the most derpy, borderline ugliest one of all? Life is cruel. At least there's a Taeyeon-ish look alike that seems like the second-in-command.

If you squint, you can pretend it's Taeng out there poppin' that goo...
If you know what I mean.

It honestly seemed like these gals sprang up out of nowhere, until Allkpop ran an article on their impending debut.

New girl group Wassup will be coming your way soon and they're aiming for a sensational debut by bringing the dance craze of twerking to Kpop!

Sony Music Korea and Mafia Record joined forces to create the 7-member hip hop girl group which will stick out from the crowd with their 'dancehall' genre of music. The group has been training for the past 3 years and is set to bring in all eyes as they utilize twerking for their debut.

Sony Music Korea stated, "Wassup will differentiate themselves from other girl groups with their eye-catching concept. They will aim to spread hip hop music through their various activities."

Whoa whoa whoa.

First of all, they've been put through the KPop idol training factory for at the past 3 years and can only twerk at this level of proficiency (aka not that great)?? Goddamn it Korea, who are you apprenticing these girls under?! If you want authenticity, you gotta travel to the heart of Twerktown -- ATL, Miami, New Orleans, Houston, LA... Where people with asses actually know how to shake those asses?

Secondly, they want to "spread hip hop music" through "various activities?" l0l Now they're really asking for butthurt accusations of "cultural appropriation." It wasn't enough that they were stealing hallowed and time-honored traditional dance from black people, they've gotta take their music too? What horrible and nasty (not nast-aaaaaayy) girls. In all seriousness though, Korea has really got to stop labeling anything even vaguely attached to American urban subculture as "hip-hop."

You know you're authentic hip-hop when you rock the Ramones cutoff.

It's certainly not one of the more talented/attractive debuts in recent times, but at least they've got the noise marketing down. You cannot believe how many preteen fangirls nearly had aneurysms over this shit.

Scintillating discussion in the Allkpop comments section as usual. 

Youtube philosophers.

It's like the collective force of Kpop fangirls descended on poor TravelingBeauty007
and said, "MUST DOWNVOTE LOGIC/REALITY."

As you can see, the majority of the reactions can be divided into 3 camps:

• slut-shamers (eg: "l0l look at these sluts, wtf so trashy")
• KPop "purists" (eg: "OMG KPOP IS NOT ABOUT TWERKING, DO NOT WANT")
• anti-cultural appropriation (eg: "twerking is black, why they trying to take an important part of our culture")

All of them are stupid, but I find the KPop purists to be especially hilarious. It's as if they have this mental image of KPop as this pure, beautiful virgin who is only capable of aegyo and eating kimchi or some shit. The moment something encroaches on this fantasy, especially if that something reeks of American pop culture, the protective side pops out and tries to shit the invader in hopes of "keeping it out" of Korea. The whole notion is hypocritical at best, especially considering how most of these comments are probably coming from the same people furiously masturbating to things like Yura's ass, a grainy picture of a picture of Kai's nipple, or SuJu kissing each other on stage. It'll take a whole separate article to talk about this phenomena, but suffice to say, this kneejerk reaction is laughable. And if the "westerners" are flipping their shit about this, just wait til we get a hold of the Korean reaction to these "filthy Westernized cockgobbling whores shaking their asses for fame." 

At any rate, I hope for their sakes that they ignore the haters and just twerk it on out. God know we could all use a good laugh/fap.
