Let's get reacting

Here's the translated lyrics from kpoplyrics:

Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb

I’m thinking hard all day because of you
But I still don’t know what to do with you
Baby baby baby baby baby you
Play me play me play me play me play me

Your eyes take my breath away and confuse me
It makes my rational senses scatter away
Baby baby baby baby baby you
Crazy crazy crazy crazy crazy

Like a mannequin, everything is so awkward
I should just act like I do normally
But whenever I see you, I act so stupid

My eyes, nose, lips, even my face, arms, legs, my walk
They won’t listen to me
Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb
The trembling of my heart, my jumping moods, I can’t control it
Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb

Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb

I’ve dreamed of a romantic movie
But your love always makes my palms sweaty
Baby baby baby baby baby
You make me crazy crazy crazy crazy hey

Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb –

You need to “Beat It”
That boy Michael Jackson ”Bad”
I’m not your “Billie Jean”
Don’t you “Leave Me Alone”
But you’re so ambiguous, I want “Black Or White”
I can’t give up on you, my “Man In The Mirror”
“Why You Wanna Trip On Me”
You’re too harsh
Boy, you make me “Scream”
Why am I like this?
Well, your “Love really Never Felt So Good”
It’s so electrifying that it’s like watching the “Thriller”

I can’t escape from you
I hate you but I don’t
I wanna be like that unni
But you keep calling me cute

Like my little brother’s robot, everything is so awkward
What do I do? I think I’m broken, I forgot even how to breathe
Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb

Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb

I’m getting antsy
All you little kids go to the corner
I’m the sommelier who will change your taste
Blow on it when it’s hot
I’ll throw this one to you, bow your head in thanks, hurray
Hey mister and sister, I’m TOP, the real one is coming

Blow on it while it’s hot
When I rap, it’s so hot
It hasn’t been that long
What to do with this burnt smell

You with the sleeping cells
Have you seen the last weapon?
The thin eardrums of the sleeping soul
I’ll poke it with a thorn, make it burn
You with the sleeping cells
I’ll poke it with a thorn, make it burn
Oh God God God God
A shower that washes your eardrums

The unstoppable and hot souls
Let’s dance on the wide floor over there

I’m a 21st century, extraordinary Korean
A god-given rap Basquait with a mic
I’m warming up my mouth for the first time in a while, I’ll be done in just one song
I’ll make you go crazy but I’m like a clear pinot noir

I don’t care if your bones melt, let’s see the end to this madness
Just like that, just like this, let’s look at a new world
Point your gun to the complicated world, to the noisy sounds and bang bang bang
Let out your heaving breath and DOOM DA DA DIVI DA

Ga na da ra ma ba sa
Ah ja cha ka ta pa, the skies will protect us
It feels like I’m looking above the universe, I’m a fearless dreamer
Run away? I won’t run away
You are all on fire
God God God God
A shower that washes your eardrums

The unstoppable and hot souls
Let’s dance on the wide floor over there

DOOM DADA DIVI DA, with meditation, I’ll observe the third world
The power of mankind that the gods gave
A more dazzling win of civilization
DOOM DADA DIVI DA, I hope a green light shines on new life
Turn turn turn turn, turn only backwards
Voices of humans who are only all talk are turning
Push push push, it pushes, sizzle sizzle, quickly quickly
The overheated media pushes people
Hakuna matata Hakuna matata
DOOM DADA DIVI DA, hope a green light shines on new life

DOOM DA DA DIVI DA DA

HANGUK BBQ HOUSE

'Sup, guys! How ya'll doin'?

I don't know if this next post is related to Kpop or nah but it's about a Korean restaurant here in Vigan, Ilocos Sur. As most people in my life know, I don't eat vegetables. At all. It's not that I hate them, they just don't sit well with my taste buds.

And as most people know as well, Korean meals include varieties of vegetables as their dishes. Which is scary because I've been daydreaming of the day that I can visit South Korea so how am I suppose to live there if I don't eat, right? (But that's beside the point)

This post is just my reaction - slash - review of eating in a Korean restaurant for the first time.

Me and my friends went after our final thesis defense (yes!) to eat lunch there and my Korean friend ordered two main dishes (I forgot the names though).

Looking inside, I thought it was pretty bare. I don't know if it's because it's a kinda new resto that's why it didn't have any designs or displays yet (just the blank, white walls, tables and chairs) or Korean BBQ restaurants are really just like that. But it's fine. It's not a downside or anything.

The food were brought to our table uncooked and they were cooked in front of us. It's kinda cool since I've been watching scenes like that in Korean dramas. It feels like the real thing.

Even though the prices were pretty beyond my reach, it's kinda worth it. Specially looking at our table with the colorful side dishes.

The side dishes were free by the way, which is a major plus.

The main dishes taste awesome. I had to stray away to the vegetables though. But I tasted a couple. And kimchi!

All in all, it's a very pleasant experience and I would very much like to return! :D

PSY NAPAL BAJI MV REACTION

‘Sup, guys! How ya’ll doin?

So here’s the thing: I’m a massive Kpop fan and ya’ll know that, right? I live in the province so it’s kinda hard to meet fellow Kpop fans so you could just imagine my glee when I found out I’ll be having a Korean as a classmate. A Korean. In Ilocos! Hail to the Kpop gods! 

So there I was, excited as hell to meet her and talk nonstop about Kpop with her but the moment I  opened the conversation about it, this is what she said: “I don’t like Kpop.”

Well if that didn’t just crush my Kpop soul.

But, yeah, we’re still friends and we talk about Kpop too but she’s not as giddy as I am.

And with that, a lightbulb went on in my head: “Why not make a video of the two of us reacting to Kpop stuffs?”

Since I’ve been under the Kpop wings for about six years, I’m pretty biased about everything Kpop so she will give the unbiased balance to the whole reactions. Perfect combo, right?

A Filipino Kpop Fan and a non-Kpop Korean Fan Reacting to Kpop Music Videos? Let's Go!

_____________________________________

First video we’re gonna react on is PSY’S NAPAL BAJI.

Before we go on to the reaction, some facts first:

- He's real name is Park Jaesang.

- Born December 31, 1977

- is a South Korean singer, songwriter, record producer and rapper.

- is known domestically for his humorous videos and stage performances, and internationally for his hit single "Gangnam Style".

- Psy from the Psycho World is his debut album containing 19 songs.

Now you know some facts about him, let's get reacting!

Here's the translated lyrics at your disposal by metrolyrics:

Liven up the mood; Oh, Let me live
Let's give it up
Live it up baby
Napal Baji (literally bugle pants, but translates to bell bottoms)

Whatever the world thinks of me
I'm just going to live the way I am

Wearing bell bottoms
Putting weight on one leg
Shaking the other
Swaggering

I am not cool, but sometimes I am cool
I am a funny fool, but I'm not to be laughed at

I won't go crazy
Cause I am already crazy
I am thick skinned, but my wallet's thick too

My shoes are shiny
My woman's sexy
My shoulders have shoulder pads
My pants are bell bottoms

Napal Baji e-he-ra-di-ya
Napal Napal Napal
Napal Baji e-he-ra-di-ya
Napal Napal Napal

Let's go all night, no one can stop us
Everybody, it's player's party
Liven up the mood; Oh, Let me live
Let's give it up
Live it up baby
Napal Baji

Some things don't work out just because you try
Leave your worries behind
Charge, charge your energy
Buy a round of drinks
If excited, dance
Would you shut up and let it go

It's not wrong, it's just different
Don't judge it, just feel it
It's wrong; it's different
Just don't say that

Fool, fool, don't call me that
This fool hates it, you fool

My shoes are shiny
My woman's sexy
My shoulders have shoulder pads
My pants are bell bottoms

Napal Baji e-he-ra-di-ya
Napal Napal Napal
Napal Baji e-he-ra-di-ya
Napal Napal Napal

Let's go all night, no one can stop us
Everybody, it's player's party
Liven up the mood; Oh, Let me live
Let's give it up
Live it up baby
Napal Baji
Napal Baji

We're young; Nothing to lose, among Doh-Ge-Gull-Yoot-Moh (Korean board game moves)
It's Moh or Doh (meaning it's all or nothing); Let's go
We're young; Nothing to lose, among Doh-Ge-Gull-Yoot-Moh
It's Moh or Doh; Let's go
Among Doh-Ge-Gull-Yoot-Moh
It's Moh or Doh; Let's go
My pants are bell bottoms

Napal Baji e-he-ra-di-ya
Napal Napal Napal
Napal Baji e-he-ra-di-ya
Napal Napal Napal

Let's go all night, no one can stop us
Everybody, it's player's party
Liven up the mood; Oh, Let me live
Let's give it up
Live it up baby
Napal Baji

KPOP SLOW SONG PLAYLIST

‘Sup, guys! How ya’ll doin?

So non-Kpop people have this stereotype that Kpop songs are a little on the upbeat side. Mostly because they’ve only heard songs like Big Bang’s Fantasatic Baby, or Super Junior’s Sorry Sorry, or Girls Generation’s The Boys or perhaps 2NE1’s I Am the Best.

Kpop groups produce awesome slow songs as well. So here are some of the slow songs currently listed in my playlist:

_______________________________________

1. PRICKED (MINO & TAEHYUN)

- An entry single by Winner’s Mino and Taehyun. The lyrics are from Mino and he also has a part in the composition. It showcases Mino’s undeniable rapping skills and Taehyun’s vocals. The song is subtle, completely portraying Winner’s style very unique among other Kpop groups’.

2. IF YOU (BIG BANG)

- As lyricist and co-composer, G-dragon has once again succeeded in the realms of song-making. If You is a sad song about the hardships of breaking up with someone you love and of moving on from the failed relationship. The lyrics “I should have treated you better when I had you” got to me because people mostly take everything for granted and only realizes it when those things are gone.

3. MISSING YOU (2NE1)

- My all-time favorite Kpop group! Missing You is a heart breaking song that made me a little bit teary-eyed the first time I heard it. Minzy, who is the dancer of the group, gave off very powerful vocals which makes Black Jacks (fans of 2NE1) out there really proud. The verses were a little upbeat with bubble-popping effects (which were really cute) but mellowed out during the chorus with the melodious strumming of the guitar.

4. Not Spring, Love, or Cherry Blossoms (HIGH4 & IU)

- Starting with IU’s angelic voice, the song gave off a light feeling that makes me think of blossoming flowers and the green leaves of the trees. Listening to it makes me bop my head but at the same time relaxes me. It actually reminds me of spring, maybe also because it’s in the title.

5. BABY BABY (WINNER)

- The first note, which is the “Baby Baby” lyrics, already showcases Seungyoon’s vocals. He sung it like it was a serenade dedicated to every Incle lady out there (Incle is short term for Inner Circle which is what their fans are called). First time hearing the song made me think of the old-time, classic songs being played in lavish hotels only VIP people can go to. It’s a song telling the listeners that they are not only the lonely ones, that they get lonely too and the song is for them. I especially love the part where Mino sung the first half of the chorus in his usual deep voice, making the contrast between the original version really apparent.

6. APOLOGY (iKON)

- My favorite rookie boy group! The song is an apology to a girl that they weren’t able to take well care of or they weren’t able to protect, which is kinda confusing when you watch the music video since most of them were the ones, like, hurting (in a non-violent way, of course) the girls. The song is very catchy especially the chorus. I had a three-day Apology LSS once and yet I never get used to it. And I also love their signature move here in their choreography. The part where they put their hands together and like asking forgiveness? You’ have to watch it to know what I mean.

7. BUTTERFLY (BANGTAN BOYS)

- I’m surprised I actually loved a slow song from Bantan Boys, mostly because there’s only few of their songs that i like. I mostly watch them because of their unparalleled visuals but this song is almost like my number three or two most played song in my phone. Nice one, Bangtan. Nice one.

__________________________________________

So there’s the list. I have more slow songs but those are my top seven. And as you can see, only two of them (4 and 7) are non-YG groups, that’s because I’m a really closed off YG fan. So if you have more slow Kpop songs, put them on the comments so we could all listen together.

That’ll be all. ‘Til the next Kpop spazzing. Bye!

KPOP BEGINNER STARTER PACK

Annyeonghaseyo!

'Sup, guys. Welcome to the "Let's Get Poppin'" blog! (That's Chanyeol of EXO waving at you, btw)

If you haven't guessed with the blog name, I would just like ya'll to know that this is a blog solely dedicated to the norms of... (drum roll) KPOP! You have been warned so browse at your own risk.

Anyways, if you're a new fan of Kpop and you want to learn more, you've come to the right place. If you're a new Kpop fan then you should not go on spazzing (definition will be discussed below) without knowing some terms.

So here's a list of terms usually used in the Kpop world, the Kpop Beginner Starter Pack:

KPOP

Abbreviation for Korean pop, the genre of music these beautiful, talented Koreans produce. Basically, for foreigners, any song that is Korean no matter the original genre is. The one that is slowly taking over the world.

HALLYU WAVE

It's the phenomenon of Kpop's rise to fame in a certain country or any place, usually due to a certain Kpop group or Kpop song being very popular.

BIAS 

Your favorite boy/girl group or your favorite member can be your bias. For example, my bias group is 2ne1.

And my bias in 2ne1 is Bom.

Note: Biases are made because there are chances you may have more than one bias group or favorite member. Like me. I have a LOT.

SPAZZ

The main term for fangirling. The thing called when you get so giddy you smile so big, squeal, twirl, roll all over the bed, jump multiple times and a lot of other crazy things. Spazzing usually happens when you're really really excited about some Kpop stuff and that spazzing is like an outlet.

AEGYO

The term pertaining to how the Koreans act cute. As in super cute. Most popular aegyo is called "bbuing bbuing."

EONNI, NOONA, HYEONG, OPPA

These are the honorifics used by Koreans for people older than them. Eonni is used by females who calls older females while noona is used by males to older females. Hyeong is for males who call on older males and oppa is for females who call on older males. 

MAKNAE

A kpop group has many members and of course, one is bound to be the youngest, and that is called maknae.

This is Jungkook, Bangtan Boy's maknae.

SUNBAE/HOOBAE

The terms our Kpop idols use when they call on other Kpop idols. If Kpop idol A has been in showbiz longer than Kpop idol B, then B will call A sunbae (senior)  while A will call B hoobae (junior). Got it?

DAEBAK & HEOL

Expressions used by koreans. "Daebak" literally means amazing while "omo" has almost the same meaning with the expression "oh my god!"

ULZZANG

It literally means best face. These are Koreans whose faces exceed the standards of Korean beauty. So if people call you ulzzang, be very flattered.

On second note, don't be. Because most ulzzangs have plastic surgeries though. So I think that's a no.


They're still pretty though... 

SASAENG FANS

These are the overly obssessive fans. They're the ones who follow Kpop idols diligently. Some of them even drop schools just to follow their favorite idols. Some even make camps and sleep in front of the idols' dorms. They're the worst type of fans because they can be dangerous.

And those are only some of the terms used in the Kpop world. Now you're ready to go further into the craziness. Welcome to the world of KPOP!

Bye-bye!
