I am not a big fan of Korean music. That being said, I live in Korea, and hear it everywhere I go. I can generally tune the stuff out, but occasionally a song comes along with a hook so ridiculously terrible that it gets trapped in my mind for months. Since I am such a jerk, I would like to share the worst of the worst with you.

The first time I heard 'Ring Ding Dong' by Shinee, I thought that it was the worst song ever made. The chorus makes me want to choke someone, and what is 'elastic, fantastic' anyway? No one knows, but this song is heard at least ten times a day by me. Take a look at the video, and make sure to watch it all. No cheating!



After a couple months of being tortured by that ridiculous song, another one soon hit the airwaves. This song is so terribly bad that it made me wish that I could listen to Ring Ding Dong again. The song I am talking about is 'Oh Yeah' by MBLAQ. You won't possibly be able to believe how bad this song is until you listen to it. Seriously, give it a try. Don't just stop it part of the way through, you gotta get to the chorus where they say 'oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah, Im feeling good, oh yeah, yeah, yeah'. If it doesn't make you cry out in horror, then you have no soul.



Don't worry, though, all is not bad in the K-Pop music scene. There are still some artists holding it down and keeping it real. Ok, who am I kidding? There are at least some songs that seem to be deliberately good natured and silly. Then again, I think that they might be serious and I just can't handle that so my brain rationalizes it away. For example, MC Mong. Is he a funny guy, or is he just severely brain damaged? Take a look at the Horror Show video below to see what I mean. If this song is serious, then he really needs to be in a home under supervision. However, if he is just being funny, well then...he probably might still be better off in protective custody. Take a look.



And on that note, Im going to lie down and try to get these songs out of my head.
