BoA's Top 15 Korean Songs - #11 - Hurricane Venus



BoA had finally returned to Korea and came out with a great title track in "Hurricane Venus". Admittedly, I only liked the song at first. I think many factors contributed to why the song/concept didn't click with me at first, but over time, the song has steadily climbed up my list of favorite songs from BoA.




A lot of the dance songs BoA had in her 2010 album "Hurricane Venus" sounded like they could have gone to f(x) or SHINee. Not like that was a problem, but it had showed how long BoA had been away and how much K-pop had changed in just five years. "Hurricane Venus" just didn't seem like a BoA song when it came out.

Other problems stemmed from the weird "-ic" words that SM loved to shove into songs even if they didn't make sense, compounded with a weak choreography (for BoA's standards) and awful makeup, which made BoA look ten years older than she was.

However, despite all of the stylistic errors, the song still shines. We're treated to a catchy electronic song with a strong bass, addicting chorus, and some ad-libbing at the end for vocalfags to wank off to. This song is very easy to put on repeat, as the song lacks any boring parts.

And okay, the best reason to like this song:

Mamamoo Hwasa's sexual performance?

Pann : Mamamoo Hwasa, isn't this too much? 1. [+140, -5] It looks more sexual because she has a good body. It was Mamamoo's concert and it was +15. 2. [+95, -15] This is why they say women's enemy is women. You call it sexy when male idols rip their clothes off and do pelvic dances but it's a problem when a female idol does it? It only looks sexy and pretty. 3. [+85, -1] It would be considered too much if this was done on broadcast but it was a +15 concert. It's fine. 4. [+35, -0] It's still better than female idols' lolita appeal nowadays 5. [+26, -0] It looks more like that because the dress color is nude. And like in foreign countries, adult sexiness is better than short school uniforms and lolita. 6. [+23, -0] You never bought an album and yet you're complaining about this and that 7. [+22, -1] It's a concert anyways. Other male idols wear more sexual clothes. 8. [+21, -26] It looks a bit off...

Why Australian adverts need to learn from Korea

What I've learned whilst enjoying the k pop scene, is that Korean adverts do it better than Australia. Might be different for you, but down under, our ads are terrible. Take Sprite for example: Suzy for Sprite Ads for Sprite in Korea happen to include well-known idols and fan service. Do you get the point? Boobs. Fan service. Great, perfect, love it, I want more. Now. For comparison, let me show you how these ads are for Australia. No fan service. No well-known celebrities. No fan service. It's a wasted opportunity. If our ads actually had something worth watching in them, I would watch more TV, but they don't and so I won't. Are ads better in other places of the world? Or am I just not watching TV at the right times? It's also not just Sprite that takes use of fan service for their own goals. Kellogg's  has recently released photos of their new model. And it's a damn shame we don't utilize this in Australia.

Which female idol would make the best porn star?

It's no mystery that female K-pop idols are pretty fucking hot. But would being hot be enough for them to make it big in the porn industry (which probably won't happen anytime soon)? Well, obviously not, because if it were, I could just put in the names of all the members of every single girl group out there (with a few exceptions) and call it a day. But being a porn star takes much more than just looks and body, and you shall see how through this article. So here are the nominees, handpicked personally by me, in no particular order. (P.S. This is gonna be photo and gif heavy). (P.P.S., If you managed to get through this whole article without fapping once, you get a cookie.)                                            4MINUTE - HyunA Oh look, Hyuna's here! Shocker! Well, Hyuna's known to be the 'seductress' or whatever, but I won't disagree. This woman would make a straight gir...
