Asian Junkie Asian pop. Without discretion.
While I have pretty much transcended that awkward phase in my life where I was “into K-pop,” I hopped on YouTube today and saw that 2NE1 had their comeback performance. With the few remnants of interest that I had left, I clicked on the video to check it out.
Boy, am I glad I did click on it.
No, the song wasn’t particularly great. In fact, I really think it’s a throwback to some earlier Utada Hikaru stuff, but that’s a story for another time.
In any case, the thing that struck me about this performance was something of an … avian variety.
No, I’m not talking about Dara dressing up as a fucking ostrich.
I’m talking about actual, real life BIRDS! Check it out:
Yeah, you just saw that. Not only did CL come out with a fucking parrot on her shoulder, but they actually had not one, not two, not three, but FOUR FUCKING SWANS ON THE MOTHERFUCKING STAGE.
This can only mean one thing:
READY…?
FIGHT!
Poor parrot was flapping for his life. ANIMAL CRUELTY. And it just looked stupid anyways.
I guess 2NE1 equates throwing scarfs with sexiness?
Can’t wait to see how Blackjacks react to this: “2NE1 are not like those SNSD SLUTS!!! They are CLASSY SEXY, DEREEE IS A DIFFERENCE!!!”
This sexy concept made use of pervert cams though :P I guess YG wants to make use of uncle fans.
Looked like it was eating CL’s neck at the beginning :D
I couldn’t with that bird flapping and bobbing about…I was in tears.
Lol what happened to CL’s face??
?
It looks terrible … so normal.
Are you going to review about 2NE1′s I Love You MV?
“It was boring.”
Done.
Her DERP face
I don’t know but that picture on the top is hilarious.
as much as i like 2ne1, recently they have been annoying as fuck. STOP MAKING ME HATE YOU.
and bom’s face has been looking terrible, and when she is getting shown up by both minzy and cl that is saying something
i was actually cringing at all the closeups of bom in the mv tbh. i don’t think that hairstyle suits her either
it makes me sad that she fucked up her face with surgery, but i have to say i think it is just her face and not the hair, lighting or anything else
They’re just trying to stand out and become relevant like Gaga does with her clothes. Fans will be confused as to the reason of putting animals on stage so they’ll think
1) it’s symbolism
2) they have swag
3) even animals love 2ne1 unnies
4) it’s things they’ll never understand because they’re too cool!!!!
It’s just being weird for the sake of drawing attention.
It’s worked hasn’t it?

People are already praising her for it too saying “Omg only CL can rap with a bird on her shoulder”. She could barly do it, the bird looked like it was trying to fly away but couldn’t because something was holding it in place!
Yeah – the bird desperately trying to fly away from CL the whole time (while being held in place with staples or something) pretty much ruined any “swag” factor they were hoping to get.
well the birds were basically the only interesting part of the performance
Britney Spears with a python during her “I’m a Slave 4 U” performance in 2001 is better than this.
That had a point though.
Python was actually symbolic. Granted, it wasn’t deep meaning or anything.
:o
Made her look like a fucking badass goddess though. That snake worked wonders
I loved that perf! That Python was hot.
This bird was just plain awkward, bopping around. Surprised it didnt peck her in the head…they must’ve drugged it LOL
How does she make her eyes look at two different places at one time
They are just trying way to hard now and it make them look redic.
Oh YG YG YG http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6w163DSk51qashv0.gif
FULL RETARD YG

LOL! XD
the comments are hilarious, they’re actually all having a serious argument about BIRDS…
lol ikr, they are like:
“That parrot looks scared”
“How do you know?? you can’t tell what it was feeling”
“I have a bird so I can tell when a bird is comfortable or not”
Rolling on the deepness of these comments
“I bet the parrot enjoyed it! I don’t think it was scared, only that it was distressed because it was trying to stay on CL! It was probably the ride of its ife!”
My favorite one so far
Their pictures are better than yours…. it looks like CL will have that parrot for dinner once she’s done performing
I really wanted that parrot to attack her. Now THAT would be a hell of a performance.

Feel bad for the bird who was surrounded by such noises….
She look so dumb. xD “DEEEERRRP, DERPYDERPDERPDERP”
That bird might have hit the blunt before being on stage with that tranny.
But was I the only who felt they just watch a drag show?
I mean that movie the Birdcage came to mind.
She looks like an idiot -_-
Completely unrelated, but i think i never shared this here

Jujuy, Argentina. To think it would reach us
Eres tu bailando???
Lol no xD. Es una chica de un grupo de kpop de baile de aqui (son asi de buenas/sarcasmo)
I’ve been traumatized.
Well, I see that CL is having no problem fitting the American image.
Bom, Dara and Minzy all look awkward.
Especially Dara. I worry about the poor girl being in America.
I’m just surprised the bird didn’t shit all over CL’s shoulder.
putting and possibly glue the bird…is so sick. What was in YG mind…seriously?
Perhaps they know that their song is so bad and try to sell something else.
It was probably to loud for the birds on stage.
Hyori hates 2ne1 now.
I can’t believe you were ignorant enough to think that “PETA” would actually do something about it :))))). lol it’s been 2 minutes since i’ve read this and i still smile when i think about it. I mean, jeesus, how far ignorance can actually go?
Last year,South Korea BURIED ALIVE MORE THAN 1 MILLION PIGS. Here’s ALL that PETA could do :
“PETA has contacted several offices but has so far received no response. We need your help to keep more animals from being buried alive. Please visit our action alert page in order to e-mail the South Korean embassy in the U.S. and ask officials there to pressure the South Korean government to stop these cruel live burials immediately and institute more humane ways of dealing with foot-and-mouth disease” (taken from the PETA official website).
:))))))))). You probablt forgot that PETA is an american organization that has power in the american territory USA . Their asian branches are soooooo weak and they can’t do anything (except whining).
So,tell me,lady who wrote the article, tell me : if they couldn’t do anything when one million pigs were burried alive on korean territory, what do you think they’ll do when they’ll see a freaking parrot on a rapper’s shoulder :)))))))) ??
that’s about it. i just registered to inform you about your ignorance :)). it’s amazing how haters are soooo delusional, and they hope the most idiotic things to happen (in this case, they hope PETA would sue YG entertainment :)))))))))) . omg now i laugh again of how stupid can you be :)) thanks for making my day.
You registered in order to prove that you took this article way too fucking seriously/literally?
Congrats, you win.
*facepalm*
Please do the rest of the world a favor and stop commenting on internet articles. The irony of your response is so palpable that I might have to cook it up and eat it for dinner.
Joke not funny enough for you?
LOL What a fail.
i’ve read so many PETA comments regarding this whole parrot situation,and they were not joking. i have to deal with so many idiotic comments in kpop world, and looks like now i couldn’t even distinguish between real ignorance and sarcasm. kpop is dumbing me down
Got it. :o
