William amused me to no end (and I kind of agree with him! :laugh). This video was fun to watch, but don't take it too seriously guys. I think that everybody is entitled to their own opinion and can like what he/she wants to like! :yes |
The little girl in the red is always my favorite. She always seems to like everything they show her. :D
This was so funny. But it's very American that they all said "Japan", when asked what country they were from. And the comments about how they all look the same... I think some of the kids seemed to quite like it. I think their reactions were generally pretty positive. Perhaps some of them end up liking k-pop in the future...? ;) |
When I first discovered K-Pop and watched a Girls' Generation video, I also thought they all looked alike. It takes some time getting used to their facial features to start seeing the differences.

I watched the video days ago and being a parent myself, I didn't expect any less from their reactions. These are young children for goodness sake of course they're close minded to a lot of things. My kids, nieces, and nephews react the same way when they are initially exposed to something foreign to them. IT'S NATURAL. That's why as they get older they will learn to accept certain things and see things for what they are worth and bestow merit unto them. That's why parents, teachers, and guardians, etc. are there to teach children to accept what they don't understand. It takes time.
Besides I shared their same attitudes toward Asian music in general when I was younger. So don't be so hard on them. Some folks accept new phenomena faster than others. Some people grow out of their ignorance and others don't. It is, what it is. |
Some English speaking people are kinda brainwashed about having their language all over the place and not accepting that there are other cultures, languages and more out there :shrug
But yeah, they're cute XD Specially the little girl :love |
I know they're kids, but it did bother me. Just because it wasn't in their language made it weird and abnormal...thus not good if you like it. It also showed how NOT diverse some of these kids were. Ugh, this video made me cringe and then laugh...it was an interesting experience.
I also found it strange that they thought the dancing was weird...yet hip/hop dancing like that is the same in North America...just look at Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, they all dance in groups like that... |
I do think the same like William sometimes, that my generation is weird, but why did he get so furious? He actually scares me. XD
All the other reactions are pretty much expected, I'm not suprised. Overall they were more positive than I thought they would be. :laugh |
^It's true, I remember even in junior high try to show people Ayumi Hamasaki and it was somehow 'weird' because it wasn't in English. It was like, "Why on Earth would you want to listen to that? You can't even understand the words!" So irritating. Most of those people are probably still like that. I'm in my 20s and people still don't get why I like Japanese music.

I like the kid with the afro, he seemed like a nice kid. The kid who was over-reacting scared me a little, like I don't "get" my generation much either, but that's because I don't really get the whole getting drunk every weekend and having casual sex at the age of fourteen, not the music videos on TV.
