Korean Music

In case anyone has been curious what I have been jamming out to:

my favorite song thus far by the pop group Brown Eyed Girls:

another big hit right now, it's up on my list too, by 2NE1:

the nice thing about Korean music, is that it is so commercialized that there are only a handful of popular groups, so it is easy to learn and if you find yourself really liking a song you can take solace in the fact that you will hear it 10-20 times per day. If you dislike a song, you better learn to like it!!

Our school actually has a dance class for 1st - 4th graders, where they learn the choreography to all these pop hits. Watching them do the Abracadabra dance by Brown Eyed Girls (the arms crossed with the hip swivel) is probably one of my favorite things in the world. There are about 30 8 year olds doing these synchronized moves. It is by far the cutest thing in the world. In fact, I wasn't able to attend, but today we had a similar class just for teachers to learn the moves too, we take our dancing seriously at Hae Song Elementary!!
