And why not? And WHO would hate dancing to such a danceable beat?
It was as if ever since I heard that song and seen its video, my eyes have seen my neighbors, classmates, even office mates metamorphosing to becoming "Nobody" avid fans. And I have actually been a listener of the song too.
But I am n.jpg)
ot fan. In fact, I just can't be a fan. Seeing that documentary strongly reinforced my belief that becoming a fan of Korean pop (K-pop) could not do me well. More often than not, it gives some lurking adverse effects to us Filipinos and this, unfortunately, may have remained oblivious to many who are now slowly metamorphosing themselves into Korean music followers.

When the lines "I want nobody, nobody but you," is the only line we understand?
What makes the whole thing absurd and saddening is when we see our own fellows turning into avid fans of these Koreans, to the extent of others wasting their pesos for trips to Korea (as seen on TV) only to see the Korean artists they've been madly, deeply in loved and crazy about. Ridiculous.
The more it becomes detrimental absurdity is when such dominance of Korean music drags our own Filipino pop culture away from the limelight. It loosens that once-tight pride we have to our Filipino music and to our Filipino Musicians, who, as we know, are one of the bests in the world.
Because I know there is something to proud of in our Filipino artistry and Music, and that shouldn't be disregarded amid the invasion of other culture's music to our archipelago. Filipino artists are one of the bests in the world, and we can push that further through our initiative of patronizing and avidly supporting our Filipino music, the first step.
hahahah.. nag warla man ka joel..It's so ka Freddie Aguilar..heheh peace!
ReplyDeleteOk. So patronize SexBomb Girls instead. Let's see. Hahaha.
ReplyDeletetol, so you're saying na anti-KPOP/K-drama ka? hehe...
ReplyDeleteto tell you the truth, big fan ako ng maraming OPM artist/bands natin and di naman siguro masama kung medyo haluan ko ng konting kpop or jpop ang musical background ko... para maiba lng ng konte hehe ^___^

ReplyDeleteWere given the privilege for personal decisions and liking. And speaking of sexbomb girls, i won't say i'm blind to see that the girls have talents. not debatable.
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing wrong with liking, actually. In fact, I like Wondergirls... But one thing i resent is the fact that many are becoming die-hard fans of such Korean groups, overshadowing our own music artists in the limelight nowadays.
And as what i've said, there's this woman of my age who really was INTO IT who was featured inb the docu ... Everything she has and does - from fashion, to music, to television, to her spending to everything - are all patterned and followed in the Korean music and Korean ways. In other words, she transformed herself into a not-so-Filipino woman.. which, for me, is something so adverse...
One thing is that there's no sort of palpability with these Korean songs, since we barely understand the lyrics.
The lyrics are bones and flesh of the song, and without these, the song doesn't serve the core purpose.
I like wondergils, but I can't be a FAN. There's no bone nor flesh in the song.
