"Nam saaaaan" (Full)

Thanks to reader Max for finding this for us.

Definitely interesting stuff – Latino in da . I do fail to understand, however, why these super-innocent-looking, vanilla girls are like the be-all and end-all in pop culture. That heavily plastic, generic-looking girl just doesn't work at all in this video, its style, or at all look right next to a guy named "Tyfoon."

I know she gets all "Tyfoonized" in the end, but she still looks funny. Hehe. Maybe it's just me.

Anyway, I don't know much about this group, but from the looks of their production quality, they're still breaking out. So it looks like their use of UCC to get this video out there (I was passed that intro link left and right by Korean friends) is pretty successful. And that song made me want to get up off my sofa.

Nice!

The innocent-looking girls may have been hired cheaply or may have even volunteered to get their face in a video. It looks like the video was made on a low budget, though it is well done, IMHO. I'm actually glad the girls don't look (too) trashy and degrading/degraded.

Certainly radio-friendly.

I'll go out on a limb and guess the Latino influence is by way of K-town in L.A..

"Why Be Critical?"

  • Before you say this site is "anti-Korean" or bashing Korea – read this: "Why Be Critical?" Chances are, if you're simply angry because I am a social critic in Korea but not actually Korean, see if your argument isn't just a kneejerk response that follows these patterns.

Photo Classes!

  • Session 1: Just the Basics Dealing with the basic operations and functions of your DSLR, explaining each function, button, and doo-hickey. The bulk of the session is likely going to stick around the relationship between aperture and shutter, as well as depth-of-field. Basically everything on your camera has something to do with this relationship.

    Session 2: Composition and Shooting (Shooting Session 1) We'll take those examples and look at them on the big screen, while also answering the concrete questions that will pop up about the stuff we learned before. Then we'll talk about composition and other framing issues, including lens lengths and why some lenses are worth $100 bucks and some are worth $10,000.

    Session 3: Flashes and Advanced Exposure (Shooting Session 2) Dealing with flash, in terms of compensating above and below exposure levels (bracketing), as well as other bracketing techniques in general.

    Session 4: Final Session/Critiques Keeping it open, determined by the class.

    Four 3-hour sessions, as well as shooting sessions, photo discussions, and critiques. An individual photo essay will also be done as part of the ongoing class assignments. Inquire at the email address at the top right of this page.
