춤 동작이나 무대 세팅이나 의상이나 전반적으로 내 취향은 아닌데 어르신들은 밤무대냐고 할 수도 있을 것 같고 그냥 나보다 어린 애들이 영어 가사로 노래한다는 것 외에는 밤무대와의 차이를 잘 모르겠음 ㅋㅋ 저 무대를 어딘가 음침한 곳으로 옮기고 저기서 옷 벗기 시작하면 그게 바로 스트립쇼 아닌가 무대 단차 좀 만들고 아랫쪽에 의자 깔아주고.. 저런 동네에서 음지와 양지를 구분하는 기준은 얼굴 스타일이나 패션 스타일 정도일 텐데 그런 미묘한 차이를 알아차릴 전문가가 세상에 과연 몇이나 되겠으며..

이런 무대는 장소와 타겟층만 바뀌면 양지와 음지의 경계가 바로 사라지기 때문에 fine art 계열에 넣어주기는 당연히 힘들고 이걸 무형문화재로 지정해줄 수도 없고 그럼 이게 대체 무엇이냐? 이것이 팝인가? 대중음악? 엔싱크의 팝을 다시 들어줘야 할 타이밍이 온 듯 https://youtu.be/TWZKw_MgUPI

이런거 보면서 K팝 팬들이 한국인들 노잼이다 니들은 개성이 없다 이렇게 까면 그건 좀 할말 없다고 생각하는데 왜냐면 이건 개성을 드러내는 장르가 아니라 이미 established된 장르에서 “한국도 잘 한다”는 걸 인정받으려고 보려주는 결과물이므로 개인의 개성보다는 기준치에 도달했는지가 더 중요함. 미적으로 훌륭한가? 매력이 느껴지는가? 아름다움이 느껴지는가? 이런 질문에서 몇 점을 받는지가 중요한 장르. 그래서 발레와 비슷.

그런 아름다움은 한국 본연의 것인가? 까지 파고들면 끝이 없는데 누군가는 그런 질문을 계속 하겠지 그건 솔직히 나도 잘 모르겠다 궁금한 친구들이 연구해서 논문을 쓰는걸로 하자

정해인 같은 느낌을 낼 수 있는 헐리우드 배우 누구 있을까? 이건 정말 한국이어야만 가능한 결과물인 것 같아. 난 이런게 좋아 (한국에만 있는 드러운 문화 그런거는 말고 이런 긍정적인 쪽의 결과물 😅) 약간 일본 느낌도 나기는 하는데 황정민 연기가 너무나 한국인임 ㅋㅋㅋ 그리고 정해인의 조용하고 쌔한 연기 톤도 일본 배우들이랑은 다른거 같은 https://www.instagram.com/reel/DFZg9kbyQ7o/?igsh=dGhoeDF6eno3bzlz

체스 잘하는게 멋있기는 하지 바둑도 그렇고.. 근데 그렇다고 내가 직접 그걸 하는게 재밌느냐 하면 그게 아니긴 함. 잘 하는 사람의 제일 재미있는 게임플레이만 보고 싶고 나머지 지루한 부분은 다 스킵하고 싶음 그게 내 체스 취향인듯 ㅋㅋ

근데 나는 체스세트 왜 샀을까 매번 꺼내서 좀 해보다가 아 재미없다 하고 다시 집어넣는 용도인지... 체스를 딱히 안 좋아한다는 사실을 깨닫기 위한 구매 🙄

So, I suppose the moral of the story is… Don’t be a sore loser? 🙄

Politics, business, and games are all about winning. However, society cannot function solely on the basis of winners. Sometimes we win, and sometimes we lose—that’s the essence of democracy. If you’re perpetually determined to win and become the sole victor of the game, you risk becoming one of those dictators in history. Some of these individuals were once respected leaders of their countries. However, they couldn’t resist the temptation to resort to minor cheating at the end of achieving remarkable accomplishments as great leaders. And for some reason, this minor cheating repeated itself repeatedly, eventually escalating into a major form of corruption that could not be stopped by anyone. If that day ever arrives, it typically signifies that it’s too late.

Therefore, I firmly believe that it is always beneficial to begin small when attempting to instill a positive spirit among citizens for the sake of a democratic society. You never know what seemingly insignificant action could potentially snowball into a significant movement after repeated patterns of accumulation.

Personally, I find it amusing that I can be highly competitive when playing games with others, even though I’m not particularly skilled at those games. I suppose I don’t really care about winning. What I do care about is the feeling of losing, if that makes sense. So, it’s wiser to learn how to accept those feelings if I don’t think I’ll ever get better at those games.

I’ve never been a skilled chess player, and I believe it’s better to be a mediocre player than to leave uninformed and irrelevant comments on the Internet about topics I’m not well-versed in. Being bad at chess is never harmful to anyone. (It might just ruin one's feelings. 🙄)

Also I believe it’s far more enjoyable to engage in chess with an AI opponent using my inexpensive chessboard rather than wasting time contemplating trivial matters on the Internet.

I should stretch more instead of wasting time talking about annoying random people on the internet.

The most annoying comments left on the common section for this performance were those from K-pop fans. When the music video was released, one fan criticized Koreans for making the artist cover his tattoos for the performance. She claimed that Koreans suppress individuality and are obsessed with presentation. I mean, she must be from a country on the planet, right? And I’m sure her country also has people who don’t necessarily find tattoos classy, noble, or artistic, in the context of classical fine art. This show was an attempt to raise awareness for classical ballet, and they just used K-pop music to attract a wider audience. So, the standard is set for people who appreciate classical ballet, not street dancing. This fan didn’t seem to hold that notion and yet had the audacity to leave a comment that completely diminished the entire Korean society and culture. How ignorant can you be to live like that? I suppose I still have to respect her because it’s her freedom of speech, right? I find it incredibly annoying. https://youtu.be/xd1yCMBS7rk

In the case of Comedy Royale, I’ve observed more Korean individuals who become upset or annoyed by their comedy. However, this doesn’t negate its international appeal. I simply refrain from interfering with their business because it would infringe upon their freedom of speech.

I mean, there’s even this. While it’s not my personal style of comedy, it’s from one of the hottest comedy labels that’s recently gained fame in Korea. However, those foolish K-pop fans never pay attention to content like this because they’re the ones who don’t care about “unpretty” Koreans.

If those idiots are genuinely interested in exploring other aspects of Korean culture beyond the superficial issue of lookism, there are shows like Game of Blood or Devil’s Plan that delve into more complex themes. However, I doubt they would ever be inclined to watch such intellectually stimulating brain teasers.

I recently came across some comments from international fans in the common section for Single's Inferno S4. They were criticizing Korean culture for its extreme level of lookism. I understand their perspective. Singles Inferno is not a show that caters to the intellectual capabilities of its participants. It’s a show that primarily focuses on physical appeal in a dating context. People might dismiss your criticism of American culture if you’ve only watched shows like Jersey Shore, Jerry Springer, or America’s Next Top Model. Your choice of media reflects your intellectual level and taste in entertainment. Personally, I find it incredibly exhausting that all those ignorant K-pop and K-drama fans rush to the comment section of any new show and leave their inane comments about Korean culture. Don’t you have any better options to spend time? How about reading a book or something?

So, let’s return to the initial topic of Steve Yeun. I’m not implying that he’s a weak individual, but it’s undeniable that he doesn’t appear particularly strong either. (Apologies, Steve 😅)

I personally find it more entertaining to date strong men (mental strength is far more crucial than physical strength, although physical strength is also important) because they present me with greater challenges. Life becomes monotonous without any challenges. Continuous growth, both mentally and physically, arises from having individuals who can consistently challenge you, allowing you to learn from their feedback and criticisms. Weak individuals attempt to surround themselves with people pleasers and suckers. Strong people, on the other hand, don’t require such a network. They possess the ability to think independently and learn from even harsh criticisms. That’s the true strength I seek in a partner.

Even if you’re a devoted feminist, your job may be more akin to combating systemic bias embedded in patriarchal social structures rather than engaging in individual confrontations with men you encounter in your life. Many women seek support from their boyfriends or male spouses to dominate conversations with them and mislabel it as feminism. Others constantly seek opportunities to engage in futile fights with random men on the Internet and call it feminism. I doubt they’ve ever read any academically significant feminist books. It’s more probable that their understanding of feminism is shaped by the images portrayed in movies and female-oriented marketing materials from various brands.
