Ahjoshi (아저씨 ) Ate Ricky

This is such a well produced amateur video from youtube.


Ahjjoshi(아저씨)- is a Korean word for middle aged men. And here is a video that someone made of them playing korean checkers. Really good.

Korea VS Vogue

Below is an example of what the Korean media thinks is Korean Beauty.

Han Ga In- Actress




Son Dambie- "singer"



Hyori Lee- Sex Symbol



And here is an example of what High fashion thinks a Korean woman is~

Daul Kim (RIP)- Muse for Karl Lagerfield

Hyoni Lee- First Asian model to win Ford's World Model Competition


Hye Park- Arguably most succesful asian model ever.

I'm personally very glad at the fact that the most picky discreners of beauty ( vogue etc...) end up using korean girls that actually have more realistic asian features. Hopefully korean girls and boys will look at this and realize they dont need to get double eye lid surgery and nose jobs to be beautiful. Small eyes are fierce man.

What do you guys prefer?

Hearts and Mono lids X

"Wanting to go to Korea" ate Ricky

Korea is pretty conservative. But like all of us, they enjoy their weekends.


My friends tell me that when they have a night out in seoul, sometimes they wont come home till like 5 or 6 ( clubs dont close early their)

Hip Hop clubs are really popular there but I never knew there was like a venue to be able to like mosh to electric indie pop.


This band, GoGo Star, is really unique to Korea because their very energetic and have good stage performances( and their not like choreographed like kpop bands Urgh).



Very influenced by a London Street style. Like i bet they went to Shoreditch and got like super vamped up at the stuff they saw there.

SAy hi to girl from Shoreditch.

And now say hi to GOGO Star video




Maybe they can actually start a movement in Korea? Give something alternative to like kpop.

MUST WATCH THIS.

These kids do not look like the type to go to a show like this. But that's why it's so amazing. Jump to 0.33 seconds and watch. It made me smile.
