Oh, I’ve heard of it. Just for some reason the thread title was not parsing for me at all, probably because I didn’t know either of the names involved.

I thought Akira was a cartoon character living in neo-Tokyo.

31

Lotta Akiras out there.

Anyone seen the new Tsai Ming-liang movie?

I think Mr. Kurasowa lives in paleo-Tokyo.

Pretty sure he’s in the Pure Land now.

Best thing about K-pop is what it’s done for romantic prospects of Asian men worldwide.

Mostly for the younger guys.

Although one girl I made out with said she was watching some k-pop video at the Korean embassy for a long time.

36

I don’t know if this is true unless you’re Korean and dress Korean style.

But you’re not even Korean…:thinking:

37

If you used to be in marching band, and people made fun of you for being a band geek, you may take some consolation in the fact that boy bands hereabouts sometimes wear clothes just like that.

Yeah I’m not sure whether watching those videos had anything to do with it.

When I was on a college campus in Hawaii last summer I saw two classic k-pop looking Korean kids in the cafeteria with white girls swarming around each.

It’s mostly the younger Asians who are benefiting.

I don’t think most white people can really tell/care whether you’re actually Korean. The fact that they actually find Asian men attractive, I think, is a big breakthrough. K-pop is a gateway drug.

WTF, i missed out just like playing basketball during the pre Jeremy lin era.

I personally don’t like the K pop look, not for me lol.

I think maybe it’s just giving more asian men confidence. 99% of the time if I date a non asian girl, they say they never had an Asian guy approach them. Not that they would never date one.

A lot of it is the Asian men’s own faults, for sure.
