Date: 2009-12-08 08:09 pm (UTC)About Dynamic Duo they said it was one of the last concert before their departure for army, and they didn't really want to go, and that they'd like to talk about North/south Korea's relation but didn't dare, so made sort of auto censure on their texts.
To be short xD i didn't remember all what they said, but it was quite intersting for once and not "mocking".

Date: 2009-12-08 08:12 pm (UTC)They're censored a lot due to the subject matter of many of their songs including: sex, drugs and war.
Dynamic Duo have been friends for like.. EVER, and halt the entertainment scene to do military service for two years; been making music for 10 years. Songs concerning the tensions between N. Korea and S. Korea are a focal point or something. Got kinda O_o for a moment.
Dynamic Duo's fanbase, monstly female. Before doing military service, concerts.

I know you already know that but I'm seeing how my translations skills are and they're not that rusty. They were for a time after high school but it's not that bad. I didn't translate the whole thing and I'm sure I got some things wrong, but translating my second language into my first language wasn't too bad.

Date: 2009-12-08 08:44 pm (UTC)Seoul South's Korea capital but also whole Asia's new tendances. Since 5 years, from clothes to hair style, from Handphone to TV shows, Korea determines young Asian's tastes. And about music, Korean scene is exploding.
Epik High is the name of a phenomen who cross the fronter. Created in 2003 the Hip Hop's band is considered as one of the best in the country.
Tablo : "You can be high, you can be higher, you can be highest,you want to know where the highest you can go but the highest is Epik High."
Epik High is often boycotted by medias because their texts talk about sensitive subjects as drug, sex, war and religion.
Tablo : "Most of our songs talk about things positives even if our interpretation is hardcore about it. Sometimes we are harsh but we try to be positives but there are so much negatives music, but i understand that, the world itself is negatif. But for equilibrium we need positive music and that's what we try to bring."
It's in the famous quarter of Itaewon we met Dynamic Duo inseparable rappers who know each others since childhood. Choiza and Gaeko share everything. Now 28 years old, they have to leave the artistic scene to make their military duty.
Dynamic Duo : "Actually i really don't wanna go, but here it's an obligation to go. And for at least 2 years. It been 10 years we've been righting songs, making concerts everywhere in Korea, it's our job. Going to army, i take it as a new experience. It'll help us for our next songs so why not i take it as a experience like some others."
In this videocliped inspired by the French director Michel Gondri they talk about Korea's society, SOuth and North's relation without clearly talking about the conflict between the two countrie.
Dynamic Duo : " North Korea and South Korea are still in war, but i hope the realation will change. Particulary between the civils population. I'd like to write songs about North and South relation but in South Korea it's still taboo, really taboo. That's why i still hadn't talk about it, it's sort of auto censure."
Presentation in korea. "Hello we are Dynamic Duo, you're watching trace TV", something like that.
Before leaving for army Dynamic Duo gives a serie of concert in Seoul. Here at women's Daewe University, fans are at the rendez vous, and it's almost all young ladies. Hot and "at ease"'s (sorry i fail here xD) ambiance in University's amphitheatre. For one of the last Duo's concert. South Korea isn't really anymore the land of the morning calm, but truly the land of restless nights.
PS. Interviews translation for Epik High are made from the French, not Tablo's English.
