Learn Korean with SNSD: Into the New World

For Sones and K-pop fans who want to learn Korean but find it too intimidating, I present a fun and easy way to learn: watching and listening to K-pop music videos!

Here is SNSD's first single, "Into the New World".
I love this song. The lyrics are more meaningful than any of their other songs.
I love this video. It makes me nostalgic for some reason.
I miss 2007-2008 SNSD. =(

so maybe somebody with knowledge of both cultures can verify...if I'm not mistaken, Jessica is wearing a cannabis leaf necklace (at least being an old school stoner, that's what it definitely looks like to me). Does is hold different cultural value in Korea? Or is that not what it is? Or does Jessica/their stylist not even know :P either way, thumbs up! haha

@korie37

Marijuana and the culture associated with it is basically non-existent in China and Korea. There is absolutely no cultural value attached to it.

I bet Jessica knows what it is (she was born and raised in San Francisco, after all), but her stylist/concept designer probably doesn't. They probably thought it looked cool and American, so they made her wear it.

Maybe she secretly smokes pot? That would explain the "Sica effect" and her excessive sleepiness. =P

[korie37]

@TheBelligerentOne WOW! I find that incredibly interesting! I forgot that Jessica was specifically from SF...it COULD explain things :P gotta admit, I'd love her even more if it was true she smoked haha! I have always found weed very conducive for my musical process; although it's probably not great for singers (unless she's just consuming edibles/brownies LOL). I'm seriously amazed that SM didn't do their homework though!

[TheBelligerentOne]

@korie37

I think the concept designers just pulled random elements from American culture and mixed them together (hence Tiffany's suburban home and the graffiti on the underpass). Parts of American culture are considered "cool" in Korea for some reason.

I can totally imagine Jessica getting blazed, lol.
