N. Korea says it will attack Japan if its rocket is intercepted

[Araxen]

Doesn't the government step in and stop this shit? It's lame that stuff is happening over there. It doesn't surprise me it happens though.

[Yutnopash]

It rests with the fact that they don't have unions...like at all so they really don't get any protection. So, they're forced to work for massive hours a day. I think the Boys over Flowers cast regularly worked 16-18 hours a day PLUS other stuff set up by their companies.

Now, some companies are good about taking care of their talent but others keep pushing. There have been lots of cases of fainting, fatigue, working through the flu etc etc And there have been cases in which Production directors and casting guys exchanged sex for parts or blackmail etc there was an investigation by the S. Korean government a while back.

Here's the Tiffany grope incident article, Girls’ Generation Tiffany gets violated! - allkpop.com | sizzlin' k-pop gossip and dirt! and if you want to watch the variety show they were on when it happened...multiple parts blahblah follow the youtube box to get the rest.

Damn, that's pretty pathetic. If that happened in the states the shitstorm would be unreal. Doesn't South Korea have pretty big red light districts? You would think the sick fucks would go get their jollies off there.

I think he does it again and grabs her ass. It was really weird; hopefully someone has a link (there were all sorts of gifs and stuff).

There's also been a few actresses from Boys Over Flowers that have committed suicide. The latest one was in the past month, and she left a note saying her manager/agent had pimped her out and made her have sex with other celebrities and shit. Very odd and sad.

Damn man, thanks for bringing me down.

Anyone else think the facial expressions and body emotes that Japanese/Korean girls do are uncontrollably cute?

I wish I knew how to edit animated gifs, I really wanted to put pedobear in there.

If they were 10 years old maybe, but not when they're 20-25. Normal humans are supposed to outgrow "cute."

fuck you, cute is awesome!

[Yutnopash]

Well he IS in Korea atm so I'd imagine being exposed to it repeatedly might make you angry toward "cute" in general. However, being able to retain cuteness well past the prescribed age seems to be a magical ability most Korean/Japanese women have at their disposal. It's a lot like their magical ability to look younger than they are for a long fucking time...until they hit like 60 or so and then the years catch up to them, sometimes in a very horrible way.

it seems there's a lot of focus on youth/innocence/humility/shyness for girls in a lot of asian culture.

My gf is Korean, and wicked awesome/cute, but not in a 'Korean->cute' kind of way. She's cute because she's cute, not because she's Korean.

Don't be a creepy Asian fetish guy, most asian girls aren't too keen on that kind of thing... and it's douchey in general. Just sayin'.

[Vatoreus]

I'm not talking about them being cute b/c they're asian, I'm talking about just the actions. I think white girls who do it to be just as cute, so it's not a fetish thing, just that they way the culture produces their social actions results in cuteness I guess.

[DisgruntledOrangatang]

Aint nothing wrong with an asian fetish anyway! Foff.

When I was in Japan, every female was either 17 or 70. Nothing in between. True story.
