That....is not surprising at all...eh.

[nortonamo.livejournal.com]

Did they throw a map on a dart to get this or is there some hidden talent in Kazakhstan we don't know about?

[nortonamo.livejournal.com]

*dart/map

[dongsaeng.livejournal.com]

LMAO THIS IS AWESOME.

[kawaiisis86.livejournal.com]

Makes sense, there are thousands of Ethic Koreans there or Koryo Saram as they are called.

[funkaliciousss.livejournal.com]

wow i had no idea about this.

[x3sarang.livejournal.com]

............ide

[kittyalex26.livejournal.com]

well that's random

[highdol.livejournal.com]

you prolly still have to be of East Asian decent for them to even consider you tho

[hazelbeans.livejournal.com]

The ad on SM's website says "all nationalities", but I think they won't be accepting, IDK, Slavic people. Kazakh people still count as Asian

[lovegraciie.livejournal.com]

are they waiting for Borat to attend.

[lopezfitzgerald.livejournal.com]

is that where they found Luna

HDU

[itskimbitches.livejournal.com]

they found her in mongolia, tyvm!

[kiku-cha8-8.livejournal.com]

oh good, now there is a bridge connecting asia to paris :3

[thsk.livejournal.com]

Imagine if Borat auditioned. Very nice.

[hazelbeans.livejournal.com]

Imagine that he got in.

[plantbottle.livejournal.com]

huh?

I mean, I know there's alot of ethnic Koreans there, but...what?

[kawaiisis86.livejournal.com]

preach

Well they do have some talented folk there..

[nortonamo.livejournal.com]

[brianathebard.livejournal.com]

I didn't think Borat was funny =_=

but anyways is SM trying to break into the Middle Eastern market? idk I think that'd be pretty cool.

[hazelbeans.livejournal.com]

No, it wasn't. All Kazakhs I know think the same.

[sandra-hall.livejournal.com]

+1

[sundrunk.livejournal.com]

hey.. this is kinda cool
but i wonder why they chose kazahhsdafahtnana?

[kikai-ni-naru.livejournal.com]

Nice way to show your intelligence lol.
There are a lot of ethnic Koreans in Kazakhstan, that's why

[prlsb4swiine.livejournal.com]

obv must have someone with the ~exotic~ factor but still be korean. Amerricun koreans are getting old now

[say-o-kay.livejournal.com]

SM's just trying to think outside the square, guys.

[kwaiirosesilent.livejournal.com]

weird, but interesting.

I'm more disappointed in the lack of TRAX in the vid, tbh :/
