NOTE: the video is still unsubbed but im gonna add the subtitles as soon as i get back from work. until then i just post the translation under the video video is now with subs! just click on cc! :)
"And he's the 'Orlando Bloom' of Asian, singer, actor and former member of a boygroup: Kim Hyung Joong!" I'm gonna sit over here and laugh really loud now.
also, i guess it's good that kpop is making its presence known in germany. they're after all the 3rd (4th?) biggest music market right now. so that's another market they can exploit. or it could just be a novelty thing like the macarena. :o\
Oh mein Gott.... "Orlando Bloom Asiens"? Und.. und... For some reason it's really weird seing K-Pop on German television... But I agree... we need more k-pop on the radio here! :)
Kim Hyun Joong, I don't think the pot should call the kettle black... ;)
Anyway, I didn't think the segment would be so long, for taff this was actually quite good except for the cheap font they used wtf it looked like some fanmade video lol Nela is adorable.
I never thought that I would see K-Pop on German TV. Too be honest, I don't think K-Pop stars would make it big here. But then again, a cartoon bunny and crocodile was #1 on our charts so I guess anything is possible...
Oh, to avoid any misunderstandings, I'm NOT comparing K-Pop to Schnuffel, It's just that K-Pop must seem really strange to non-fans in Germany, so it could either be a hit or miss.
Auf der einen Seite war's gar nicht so schlimm (wenn man beachtet, wie deren Berichte sonst sind), aber auf der anderen war's schon wieder irgendwie sehr... 'guckt euch diese komischen Fremden an!' Haette Nela Panghy-Lee das nicht gemacht, waer das schrecklich geworden, ernsthaft jetz. Waer sie keine (Halb)Koreanerin, waer das in rassistischem Uebernonsens ausgeatet. So, yeah, whatever. ABER DAS IS TAFF, WHO GIVES A SHIT. Die vergleichen Frauenaersche for a living, so.
Seriously, this so much. Nela hat das gerade noch so rübergerettet... Aber s hinterlässt trotzdem so n leichtes Fremdschäm-Gefühl, wo man nich weiß ob man lachen oder weinen soll.^^
naja was soll sie sich denn genau in korea anschauen? da könnte sie höchsten zu music bank/inkigayo/bla blubb gehen, und dann sind auch nicht alle großen stars auf einem fleck.. plus MAMA war doch eh international ausgerichtet, das hat find ich schon gut gepasst
While this wasn't bad (at least for a private television station and Pro7 especially) but I still think they kinda exaggerated the whole Hallyu/Korean-wave thing. I love Kpop but I honestly doubt they will ever be overly successful in Europe and/or America.
To be honest I expected it to be more terrible, but Nela managed to save it somehow otherwise it would have been quite racist, imo. However there were a few clichés and rofl@Kim Hyung Joong expressions after Nela's question. To be honest I was quite surprised to see A~Pink I thought they'd rather focus on bigger groups like BIG BANG etc. Additionally the part when she walked around with the Singaporean kids and talked to them was the most lulzy one to me thank you for not mentioning that those lenses are called circle lenses What surprised me was that they really made an effort to pronounce the names correctly.
lol Bubble Pop was starting and I'm like where do I know this from?! I wish they'd forget Hyuna for one sec, Bubble Pop hardly represents k-pop..
All the Germans: THIS WAS FINE. I was honestly fearing it'd be cringe worthy but they managed to do it respectfully etc. Doesn't happen often, there's always that condescending undertone
Bubble Pop hardly represents k-pop but its one of the most clicked kpop videos on youtube this year, you cant deny this.. eventough we all know that most people only watched it so they can fap to it
everyone of my friends was like "omg kpop on taff! it's the beginning of the apocalypse!!" but srsly this was not too bad, especially for this tv station when i remember their reports about visual kei...

But I still think that the KPop-hype is far too exaggerated in Europe, but whatever...!
And I can't take this report too seriously, because they did not mention DBSK while they were talking about the "Korean Superstars"!
SuJu's "Guten Abend." was cute on the other hand! XDD
