That sound like codec issue or having too much micro dust choked up CPU & Graphic chipset fans.
What player are you using and does it only happens to one particular video file?

I use KMPlayer when see the HQ vids (GOM player can't endure HQ vids in my computer)
And yeah, only this particular video file have problem.
Anyway, Thanks for your concern (and sorry for too late response)

I like T-ara's Roly Poly (retro pop dance). they look more sexy and cute these days.

Japanese rising new idol star (actress or model?) who is in tears by receiving some message and album from the DBSK.







It start at 3:26

And she say that her mom also like K-pop too.
So.. i assume that her mom have somewhat influenced on her?

As i know on, majority of Korean pop culture's fans all over the world are woman. and i have feeling that this fact is not that bad.
Cause usually mother have much an effect on their children, so if mom like particular pop culture, a possibiity that her children become familiar with that culture can be increased (and present-day teenage girls who like K-pop culture all over the world will become mom someday)
Is this nothing new? or is this making mountains out of mole hills?

Haha anyway, she is pretty.


KARA appear on the bloomberg



http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-07-25/k...g-lg-goods.html


LG Advertisements

LG hired KARA, a female Korean dance and music group, to appear in advertisements in Japan for its Optimus smartphones. The group topped Japan’s weekly DVD sales in February, according to Oricon Inc. Only five other foreign artists have done so previously, including Led Zeppelin, The Beatles and Michael Jackson.

“We hired KARA because they are popular among young women, whom we are targeting,” said Donggun Kim, general manager at LG’s Japan unit.


As a fan of Kara, it's good to see Kara is described on an equality with Led Zeppelin, The Beatles and Michael Jackson (even if it's only in particular part)

Interesting articles.

I've never thought that K Pop can effect on sales volume of LG washing machines and Samsung smart phones.

Thank you for sharing.

김윤아 =고양이 노래 (kim yoon ah- cat song)
http://youtu.be/fEYWXtV5TrY

What an unusual song!
When I first saw the song title, I thought it was a children's song.
It turned out to be a deep serious song.
The rough translation of the song is like this:

Kitty, kitty, little kitty
Does your leg hurt you?
You are limping
Your thin voice
sounds hungry and miserable

Puppy, puppy little puppy
You are lying down on the street
Red color is spreading out

Being born in this cruel world is not your fault
Wouldn't it be so wonderful to live happily?

Meow meow meow, bow bow bow
Meaningless nasal voice
As I can't do anything for you
As I am too sorry for you
I keep singing to hide my sadness

If "Cat song" is too depressing, you can always switch to "Carrot Song."
It's more cheerful.

당근쏭 Carrot Song

Yes, 당근 is Carrot.
It's also slang for "of course" which usually used by young teenagers and some adults, too.
I have no idea how 'Carrot' became 'of course'.
although both 당근 (carrot) and 당연하다 (of course) starts with 당 in the first syllable.

That cat song was totally new to me.
Thanks to you, I learned a new song.
Seems like you know more Korean songs than I do.
I searched for some random songs by same singer 김 윤아 and so far, this is my most favorite song of her.
You probably already know of the song.

2NE1 - Ugly
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGe0hHvAGkc

many girls don't even know what ugly is these days due to the false standards set by media... they think being skinny and weightless is what guys want... but that isn't always true

It's a strange song. It sounds like a bitter and self hating song about being ugly but why are they dancing around??????

Doesn't make sense. Can someone provide their commentary to explain this strangeness?

I think it would be more appropriate if they were less dancey and more sad in their movements like staring into the distance, staring at the ground and less mobile, like sitting in one spot navel gazing rather than walking around in bright clothes and jumping around.

Totally bizarre.

Totally bizarre.

Perhaps this strangeness is an ambivalence in the very concept of defying the notion that one is ugly.

The singers proclaim they know they are ugly but the tenor of their proclamation is somewhat defiant like "yeah I am ugly but so what". It is as if they are trying to reassure themselves that they are okay with themselves despite knowing they are ugly however they do not quite convince themselves and the self loathing and bitter sentiments seep out.

Perhaps this ambivalence is conveyed in the juxtaposition of self loathing and celebration depicted in the film clip with the blending of sadness and celebration. Truly a masterpiece.

Bravo 2NE1, I understand it now, Bravo!!!! Truly a work of art when one recognises and is able to appreciate the deep layers within this piece.

I just watched the King and the clown.
Is this based on a true story?

[doggyji]

The cat song is very pessimistic. More songs by Jaurim/Kim Yuna here.

If you feel for more melancholy, here is Mot.



[2004][MV] Mot "Cold Blood"
[2007][Audio] Mot "서울은 흐림" (Seoul is cloudy)
[2007][MV] Mot "Close"

I just watched the King and the clown.
Is this based on a true story?

I read there is a brief historical record of a clown named Gong Gil killed by Yeon San Gun. Everything else might be fictional except for some other characters' names.

Like doggyji said, the movie is semi-fiction and semi-true story.

Lee Sunhee sung a theme song of that movie. Here's her live performance.

It is. It almost sounds like a protest song like 아침이슬.

아침이슬 (morning dew) was a famous protest song in 70's.
