A new video documentary, Planet B-Boy, has a few parts dedicated to Korean bboys’ influence to the dance, the demographic of Korean bboys, and even Korea’s perception of bboys. Planet B-Boy: Korea On a technical level, there is nobody that could touch the Koreans … nobody So true, now if only they could hit the beat! It did take five years for Korea to hit the map, making amazing waves, having DJs and MCs shout “my friends I have NEVER seen anything like this before!” but the tidal wave was when my favorite crew, Gambler, headed by my favorite bboy, Darkness, took home Battle of the Year in 2004, the international bboy competition.

Korean Cutie Kim Tae Hee
2008-04-12 02:14:00
Here are two of Kim Tae Hee’s CFs. First one is for Olympus camera where Korean celebrity Kim Tae Hee goes all natural without makeup. She recently received lots of attention for her courage of doing this. Does it really take that much courage for a celebrity to be outside without makeup? This video is for LG Cyon cell phone called ‘Ice Cream’. Will this win the most creative cell phone name award this year? We will find out soon enough, if there ever was such an award show… Anyways, this Korean commercial is kind of dumb. She does look cute but it doesn’t make me want to buy the phone. Isn’t that what LG spent the money for?
