Cultural Appropriation has been one of the most talked-about controversial topics in the Kpop Industry in the past few years. The Real Problem - Why don't these almost GLOBAL ARTISTs know any better? The world is such a small place now, still, these artists claim they don't know about what this particular problem entails. The issue of Racism and Colorism. Are they so blind to their own fans' lives and history? They may be well rounded in the sense of vocal, visual, gag ability but they are not really socially aware, which is very bad for someone in the spotlight. In short, they should know better. They should read more, their team should be more knowledgeable and informative. Before putting out a performance, someone should check and double-check their content. These are the ways of damage control. But these are all Superficial Fixer-Upper things. What really needs to be done, is make the artist more aware of the situation. Where do people come from when they are expre

I say MaMaMaMaMooooo......... Even though these girls need no introduction, this is how they have been treating our ears with their Introduction for the past 6 years. MAMAMOO is a Kpop Girl Group signed under RBW ( Rainbow Bridge World ). It is actually quite a big deal that they still are popular in Kpop because many groups go out of the spotlight in 5 to 6 years. The fact that they have maintained their popularity for so long is evidence enough that they are filled with Ground Breaking Potential. MAMAMOO This is especially phenomenal as they are not even signed under one of the Big 4 Companies in Kpop. It is not merely the fact that they are still around but also that they always win on Music Shows with each and every comeback that they put out.  I became a fan ( a MOOMOO, as their Fandom , is called ) of MAMAMOO after listening to their song Starry Night ( 별이 빛나는 밤  ) and what a feast for both eyes and ears is that song! There is

I Miss BTS . This statement is going to be confusing for many, maybe all. Surely BTS is still around, they haven't even gone to the Army yet ( pun not intended, and couldn't be formed ). I say this because, I see less of BTS, ironically the Biggest KPOP act out there, than I do other Korean singers and artists. Don't get all negative on me now. Let me explain first.                                                                      BTS AT THE AMAs BTS is how I got into KPOP in the first place . Back in 2017 November, when my Medical School final exams were taking place, I stumbled on a Korean Boy Band performing on the AMAs on VH1. Listening to DNA and Blood, Sweat and Tears was life-changing, to say the least. People around me didn't understand the effect BTS had on me. What they saw was that I was once again overhyped by something, as is my personality. But what was different this time was that the effect did not wane off like it would always do wh

I Used to Hate Pink but then I laid eyes on Mommy Son (마미 손) Literally meaning Mother's Hand. And Figuratively meaning the Best Korean Music Revolutionary Act out there. This guy has what it takes to change the face of the Korean Music Industry Forever. Because what lies beneath is an endless pit of Talent and Wit. And I say Wit because the path this rapper has taken is an amazing one, that requires a whole lot of Creativity and Intelligence. I mean how many times can you say that a Musician is Intelligent and not merely Artistic. IF YOU ARE SAD, CRY YOU FOOL, IT'S OKAY    DID YOU THINK I'D FAIL HERE, YOU PUNKs?    YOU KNOW WHO I AM - JUST A CLOWN ( *winks* ) The Rapper with the Pink Beanie has been on the scene since making his debut on Show Me The Money, a Rapping show. He was eliminated from the show in the Second episode because he forgot the lyrics in the midst of rapping. I'll let you know what I think happened, but hold on

Joker has been one of the most amazing movies the world has come across in a long time. It's Greatest Achievement, A New Way of Story-Telling, never ever witnessed before by Cinema Goers. And it is true to say, that A Sequel could potentially destroy the Uniqueness & the much-savored Ambiguity of the phenomenal movie. People always crave for a Sequel. They have this urge and this need for Continuance, but in Joker's case, it will have the Paradoxical Effect. The Sequel will try to explain all that was left unsaid in the first movie and this will cause The Loss Of Continuance. It will shut out everything the movie was gunning for. THESE ARE THE REASONs WHY I THINK JOKER SHOULD BE LEFT ALONE -  ( The above statement is Not Incel-Insensitive ) 1) ONE OF A KIND - There is no doubt that this movie is a One Of A Kind Phenomenon. No earlier movie has, especially Comic Book movie, has even come close to the concept of this one. 2) DEMANDs NO APPL

Kabir Singh, what the the hell man? Maybe I should be asking that rhetorically because watching that movie was certain Hell. I would have left in between if I wouldn't have been watching it with some of my favorite people who seemed to kinda like it. (BARF*) I am reconsidering friendship with them at this point by the way. So, first, let me tell you things that I did like in the movie, . . . . . Oh Wait ! THERE's NOTHING ! Why, Shahid, Why, did you have to act in that movie?! WHY? That movie just f***ing pisses me off. And being someone in the Medical Field, it just pisses me off even more. Let me make it clear, I like Shahid Kapoor a lot, he did justice to the character that was given to him. What I don't like is the Character Itself. That movie is not a 2019 kind of a movie. I don't care how many people went to watch it, that movie is just a long ass ride to TOXIC TOWN . And it is dangerous and damaging. For all those poor impressionable Post

Split the Ice apart and Break the Frozen Heart. The Heavy voiced song has always been in the back of my mind since 2013 and finally another movie. The thought of a Sequel could thaw out any number of Frozen hearts around us. We must admit, there is an imperative need for Feel Good movies like Frozen in our lives. Disney always does its Magic. Though looming in the shadows is the dread of a Sequel, be that of any movie that you loved. You enter the theatre, all excited but also there is a nervous itch in the pit of your stomach that says this one isn't going to be as good enough. I loved the first movie, it was a totally different concept in the Disney franchise. It paved a New and Bright Feminist road and we finally had A Queen and not just a Princess and that too without the Need for a King.  ( SPOILER WARNING - ICE AHEAD !  ) Let's start by applauding Disney for Persistence. They have kept at their thing, at their pace and been relevant throu

The Kardashian-Jenner Clan. How do we love to hate them. But we can't deny they have a pretty bright silver lining to whatever it is that they do. We all have the obvious reasons of not really liking the KJ Clan, what with the over the top antics about everything, the string of Purposeful Scandals which everyone can see through, the Toxic Relationships with their partners and Very Well Orchestrated Sibling Rivalry, all makes for A VERY GOOD SHOW TO WATCH. No matter what, but their Family Dynamic, although toxic and weird according to many, is also their STRONGEST TRAIT. And that is what has always made me enamored. According to me, the kind of Family Dynamics that they have exists around every corner. It's just that they are famous and that everything they say or feel or that which happens to them, is there for everyone to see AND JUDGE. And it is exactly this Judgment and spending time Criticising them and then going back to watching them again, is what's FILLING

2019 - It's been a Polyvarious Year for 한류Hallyu or The Korean Wave. I mean, on one hand, there is the Global Phenomenon that is Parasite 기생충 directed by Bong Joon Ho. The movie that has received the highest honor one could get at the Cannes Film Festival - The Palme d'Or in 2019. The perfect embodiment of how the Korean Society functions and also how the whole world functions in accordance with The Class Gap. A Literal Masterpiece. But we are not here today to talk about the Magnificence of Parasite. We are here to analyze another parasite that has been plaguing the Korean Media as a whole. A parasite that has its hooks deep, far and fixed into the MINDs of THE KOREAN PEOPLE. PERCEPTION & PREJUDICE are our PARASITEs. In the past 2 years, the Kpop world has lost 2 precious angels - Jonghyun and Sulli. Depression and other mental health issues have led to their demise. All of this stemming from Loose Lips & Frantic Fingers of the Public. Isn't it a type of
