Is Korea a different planet?...
I always like Korean manhwa style like this piece from Youn in Wan's Shin Angyo Onshi and Hyung Tae Kim's Magna Carta. The style is complex, beautiful and more realist than most manga. Although sometime it's hard to believe the outfit or the accessories, like the claw and bastard sword here.
It also show really looong legs... But I'm not complaining.. I'm so glad this one is finished.:iconhappytearsplz

Recently I saw Animax Live Power Music or something.. It's a concert show that feature a bunch of girl band from Korea. I already saw K-pop a bunch of time but never in marathon concert. The thing is there must be ton of hot chick there. Okay let say there are 7-8 groups consist of 4-9 girls, add background dancers, the audience (yes even the audience are hot chick, maybe artist). There's gotta be more than hundreds of them.
Am I missing something here? I don't remember when IPS class "South Korea, nation income: rice, electronic, hot chicks!!". Forget about redenominasi or some crap when you scratch 000 from rupiah, forget exploding gas tank bomb, we need to import them from Korea fast!! Who's with me!!No, I apologize. It's insensitive and shallow thing to say.. But I bet my usual demographic enjoyed it.. Hah admit it, you are smiling just now.
Okay seriously now. I used to like J-pop more, I still do listen to mostly Japan, but there's no denying that Korea gained a lot of popularity nowadays.. okay I mean years. The thing about K-pop is it's more easy to listen to, more accessible and appeal to wide variety of age. Japan has some good artist but it seems that aside from some, most of them are stuck in one area and don't explore. Many Japanese boy band just scream and not much melody. When I download 10 random songs based on rating on whichever site, maybe just one that I really like.
I never become any artist fans.. Maybe RSP, they are Pop, Hip Hop and R'n'B group. They have distinct style and very energetic. And Yui, young female singer / guitarist. You can feel her emotion in "Again" and while some artist just change some arrangement and call it Remix, she actually sing the whole song again with acoustic. Try searching for RSP song "Go On Baby" (I don't have the link). SNSD Gee and Genie are infectious and catchy. The choreography for both of them are great.. If they can pull it off one more time..
It's not just music, Korean art is also superb. See picture above, the original one, compare to Big 3 manga OneNaruBleach. Does any of them compare? Maybe Death Note? Close but no.. The closest mangas with just equal detail and semi-realist are Vagabond and Gantz, but SAO is just more likeable, imo... Ugh I just realize no more free Vagabond TT..
The same with game. If you play any MMO, there is a great chance that it's from Korea or have arts which are designed by Korean. I think the best is Magna Carta. Very vibrant color and detail. The guys looks like girls, the girls looks like porn stars.. Hey but who am I to judge? If only the games has the same team as FF, it could be epic. I've seen the artwork of FF and Magna Carta is just about the same level.
Okay I guess that's all.. I'm tired from drawing that pic.. Ahh if someone can kidnap me and toss me to Korea.. I won't survive, don't know any Korean TT.. Okay if you read this far, can I ask if you find link to download the Animax show, please send it to me. The songs are remix and it's kinda good, yeah I didn't expect Animax show to be that good. Maybe someone who allegedly self proclaimed "finder to everything free" can help me out here, NO you don't get to charge, see FREE in the sentence..
