Asian Junkie Asian pop. Without discretion.
After dishing out numerous bonertastic teasers and ramping up an enormous amount of anticipation for their first release since graduating Kahi, After School were hard-pressed to fulfill the expectations for “Flashback“. They set the stage for an epic sexy concept, but I have to say I was a bit let down with the overall package.
—–
I figured out that my primary issue with the music video was that there were too many members that I didn’t give a flying fuck about. The music video itself wasn’t complicated, as the concept was basically, “Holy fuck! Look how hot these chicks are!” As you know, I absolutely love those straight-forward, honest concepts. However, that only works when said women are attractive or dressed in close to nothing or engaging enough to make you care. After School has too much basic and not enough bite.
It’s not a complete loss though, as I thoroughly enjoyed the concept for certain members, especially Lizzy, Nana, and Jooyeon, but why the fuck do we need so many closeup shots of Raina and Uee? Like fuck, it ruins everything. It’s like watching a gorgeous whore get railed in a porno, you’re about to bust, and then they cut to the face of a sweaty stunt cock, and you end up busting to that image by accident. Then you feel depressed and dirty afterwards because of what you were subjected to. Ugh.
Too much of this:
Not enough of this:
I never liked Kahi and her horse face much, but she was a member who drew attention and forced you to watch her. Other than the three I mentioned, I couldn’t care less what the rest were doing.
The dance break was nice, but all in all, most of the sexual stuff was obstructed, hidden, or completely lacking. The outfits were sort of basic, the dancing wasn’t particularly aggressive, and it was surprisingly light on the eye candy. In a way, it was sensual but not sexy, it just lacked a punch.
That’s … uh … a problem for a concept completely built around eye candy and sex appeal.

Since I was on vacation, I’ve been waiting to watch this for a while now, and I have to say I think it was hyped better than it was executed. I greatly prefer staring at Lizzy’s and Nana’s teaser pictures to watching the music video, which is a preference that basically says it all.
They all wore the same thing so it was hard to distinguish them apart. The beginning where the elevator door opens is epic though :)
Hmmm…. I thought the video was very boring and unoriginal. Nana was obviously the best part. I just wish they shot in more location and not just in one dull room.
On a side note.. the song is pretty catchy!
Agree with linyang. I found myself squinting at their comeback photo trying to figure who the hell was who, same with the group choreo in the vid… other than anyone with blonde hair (Nana & Lizzy)
Too bad that Raina’s the main vocalist, I’d prefer more close-ups of the other 2/3 of OC and E-Young. Love me some E-Young~
They can just show Lizzy and Nana making out while Raina’s voice is in the background, nobody gives a shit.
:o
Not just her voice though. Just… all of her x.x
-My friend’s thoughts after reading your review :)-
“UGH THIS BISH NANA IS SOOOO OVER RATTED….” -jelly-
“…I DON’T EVEN LIKE AFTERSCHOOL THEY CLEARLY TRY TO COPY MY SNSD UNNIER…ELEVATOR ??? HELLOOOO HOOT…” -delusional sone-
“…EXCEPT FOR UEE UNNIER SHE CAN BE BOTH CUTE AND SEXY I WANNA BE LIKE HER…” -why am I friends with this person????-
It’s okay- you’re here with your smarter chingus. It is gonna be alright *pat pat* *hug hug*
But seriously, Kpop has shown me what most of the world is like, just on a smaller scale. You have people that cannot:
1)think for themselves (ie: believing everything that allkpop tells them without taking a moment to step back and think about the credibility of what they just read, or at the very least research it to see if it’s true)
2)dumb idiots that make me worry for their children (“ALL KPOP IDOLS LOVE EACH OTHER SO WE SHOULD TOO”. -_- no bitch. Even people from the same group will hate each other. On a side note, my sister has suddenly found these people that have been providing very interesting news from sasaengs that all have ended up true and my goodness, there are there a lot of closet gays/bis, stds, abortions- apparently out of Korea because it was illegal for someone to get it down there before leaving her group, cat fights, and sex to get famous…..)
3)hypocrites (pretty much every group and their fandom) that are all about peace and mercy for their group but as soon as another commits the same crime, death is the only punishment allowed
4) people that only believe what they want to believe and need to go to sources that will confirm that their delusional fantasies are real (ie: allkpop+ Kpop taking over world+Kpop groups being superior to all)
5) fair business (can’t really think of one that’s all too fair- YG seems to be the closest)
6) unfair business (sm, promotion of untalented people, etc)
7) only a small percentage of intelligent people that will come to rule the world (Asian junkie users)
THAT IS ALL FOR MY RANT!!!!!

I hope the author is going to review the MV for 2NE1′s I Love You when it comes out. Looks like a cheapskate vid from the teaser.
I just came from a recent seoulbeats article on 2NE1′s teasers where a bunch of retarded Blackjacks were getting into another worshipping/intellectual bullshit clusterfuck. I would have gone insane by now if I stayed there any longer. THANK FUCKING GOD that Asian Junkie exists
I also agree with everything you said. Kpop fans need to die.
Although I think there are way too many stupid people that outnumber the intelligent ones. So if we plan to rule the world… how would that happen? Would it matter if the people you’re ruling are equivalent to chickens with peas for brains? :o
I’ve always said that these people (and the characters from 90210) are lucky for being born in the 21st century because if they were born 200 years ago, natural selection would have its way with them. So we put the crazies of Kpop (99% of each fandom) in an area where the technologies of the 21st won’t reach them….. AND THEN WE WATCH THE CHAOS FROM AFAR!!!!!!!!

Well, technically, that’s how authoritarian governments historically rule. Keep the population ignorant and let them fight about stupid shit.
:o
These idols, every fandom around the globe actually, reminds me of this song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYujmqUK-_8&feature=relmfu basically in a nutshell
@IATFB
Few decades ago there was this philosophy going around in the communist countries of Europe- “keeping the nation drunk, will keep the nation obedient”. So this is basicly vodka, just for the underage, puberty-ridden, obsessed tweens, with too much money to spend.
Will always be like that, just in different ways now.
omg, saesang sleeze!! point me to the right direction please, i’m dying for some nasty ass scandals/rumors after being saturated with shitty saint-like idol fan fictions from k-pop sites.
Mkay, 2PM is supposed to be the biggest douchebag group with complaints from managers and fans alike
Onew is a violent asshole, apparently beat up a member, and Minho are really full f themselves but Minho looks down to people because of it. Jonghyun doesn’t even hang out with SHINee. Taemin (run to a toilet because of this) apparently has sex…. A lot out of the country
Apparently there isn’t a virgin idol. Very rare to have one. Usually the car is where they’ll do it, even renting cars to not be tracked
Gay: Jo Kwon
Bisexual: key, Yuri, Jessica, Taeyeon,
Sooyoung is actually a huge bitch (and I ruved dat bitch!!!
>.< ) and a huge narcissist
Krystal is apparently worse than Jessica and I gues that their parents are big rich people so if either act up, SM doesn't do anything about it. People say that Jessica can actually be nice, but she is one of those people that chooses who she is and isn't nice to, so it depends. Krystal apparently back talks to teachers and is rude to staff. One member of f(x) beat up another member of f(c)
KARA and super junior aren't on good terms- something with a fight
You know what, pretty much everybody hates each other so don't believe any of that shit saying that they'd die for each other because of their love for each other
Gyuri isn't supposedly as mean as she seems. She apparently doesn't give a fuck and doesn't hang with other members. Youngest is a crazy ass bitch
2PM has fucked Tiffany, Jessica, and (maybe?) Yoona. Jessica never really liked taecyeon even though he liked her, pretty much used for sex, Yoona liked him, he liked Tiffany, Yoona doesn't like tiffany because of it. Jessica doesn't hate Tiffany because Jessica don't care.
Junsu from 2PM doesn't even like other members and doesn't hang with them- desperately tries to be friends with people from YG
G-Dragon= weird fuck in bed. Hangs with girls at clubs and takes em home constantly. TOP=pickier, something with wanting classy ladies like Beyoncé. Daesung being hyper is an act. Really quiet and only hangs with family.
T-ARA= bitchy
TOP apparently nice despite being called handsome
Hyuna left wonder girls because she got knocked up by a current debuted guy in one of the JYP groups and had to get an abortion out of the country because it's illegal there, her mother stormed into JYP entertainment getting pissy for not watching her daughter more closely
Ummmm…. That's all I remember
Oh and sohee and gdragon apparently fucked numerous times, something with staff in hotel use to see sohee wait in lobby, gd come down and take her up to room, gone for hours, then leave
That's all that I remember from her for right now, sorry :/
lolol
Oh and this is for everyone, but my sister and I are guessing that the band is SS501
So one of the three people who I guess supplies the information from his saesangs said that there was a five member boy band that was currently on hiatus, but one member was doing significantly better than the others and being refered to as a world star. There was one that was considered an angel by everyone but actually a devil. There are two gay members and that they would try to do stuff with other members. They were a big deal, one of the biggest bands,,,,,, GAHHHH I FORGET THE REST!!!!
So I just remember thinking that it was ss501 because of how well Kim Hyun joong was doing, how Kim kyu Jong seemed like a little innocent doll, jungmin and Hyung joon had gay radiating off of them, and they’re on “hiatus”
Oh and apparently there are a lot of gay celebrities over there that try to conceal it through heterosexual relationships, sometimes even marriage, but every gay celebrity knows of each other.
If anything didn’t make sense, it’s because of autocorrect
Yep
Oh and SMTOWN (I swear to god they all hate each other or are fucking each other), boa is a stuck up bitch, yunho is the “golden boy” and gets paid a lot, Yoona gets paid most in snsd, Siwon gets paid most in SUJU.
F(x)-> one beat up another
SHINee-> Onew beat up someone
Super Junior-> jealousy sparks fights
SNSD-> fights
I’m just gonna go out on a limb here and assume the same with their former bands too
Dbsk and jyj= tension. All were supposed to leave but changmin and yunho stayed (paid and laid a lot more prolly) and jyj members felt betrayed-> tension
Lee Soo man encourages dating in sm.
Jessica has dated all members of dbsk except changmin (?), a little more in SUJU
Krystal dated that fucktard Minho
The girl from SHINee’s Amigo mv is an sm trainee who used to date either chanyeol or Kai from EXO-k and is now dating the other
Chinese members of EXO (and what we saw from hankyung)
were bullied and experienced muh racism from SM trainees and artists
That chanyeol kid being all hyper and fun and shit- and act. Actually really serious and at times cold. Man whore too
Suho from EXO= douche bag (rivals that of taecyeon)
Kai= may be douche bag of the highest caliber
Baekhyun from EXO= douchebag as well (who knew that people who are constantly told how pretty they are end up being d-bags????)
I now completely forget everything now
Oh wait- Junho from 2pm= jerk
2pm hated jay, tried to make his life hell
Jo Kwon was one of the only guys nice to jay in JYP (I wonder why….)
THAT IS ALL!!!
LOL all the stuff you posted is AWESOME XD hm i wonder if any of the korean members of exo bullied the chinese members….i hope Tao used his wushu skills on them.
btw to add on to this my friend’s cousin worked on the set of yoona’s Cinderella Man in 09 and said yoona was a whiny bitch. and GD is definitely an arrogant douchebag (no surprise there).
btw any info about yunho’s or seohyun’s real attitude? these two seem to have a really good reputation…
None of it would surprise me.
@kafkaf117
Omg, I love reading posts like that! Post more, more! What nasty kind of dirt do they have on 2ne1? Or 4minute?
I’m surprised to hear that onew is violent. (PS I hope he beat the shit out of minho, I hate that guy) Even if he did beat the shit out of a shinee member, he still doesn’t come across as an ass to me. I feel like when idols put on that “nice” facade, you can sense their bitchiness/douchebaggery if they truly are one.
Taemin seems like such a virgin tho.
lol why would there be a virgin idol when people are throwing themselves at idols left and right? no surprise there.
I totes called key being bi.
I hope luna, victoria or amber beat up sulli or krystal.
cannot stand those two.
not surprised with the stuff about GD, TOP, or Dae. Except for being with sohee. She must be damn good in bed, because her face is ugly as fuck.
I feel terrible for those chinese members, and Han Geng. I suppose Henry and Zhou Mi were probs picked on as well. Funny too, seeing as most of the people I follow/like a lot that work for SM are the Chinese ones.
THANK YOU SO MUCH this is the best shit ever.
Especially since you never hear the nasty stuff about idols.
lol
LOL basically everyone is a slut in k-pop. though there were a few items u mentioned that i’ve read elsewhere:
- the onew “being sick” and missing half of the group’s activities last year was in fact SM banishing him to the dungeon temporarily for whooping one of his group mate’s ass. the saucy part is who dafuq got a beating?
- g-dragon and sohee touched private parts. whether they were dating or just hooking up, they were together for half a year. this pair is just plain fuck ass weird.
- yoona and siwon being the highest paid is not exactly a secret. they had the most gigs under their name, hence more $$$
- chanyeol’s ex was that trainee girl from the amigo mv. there’s a popular theory floating around that SM was threatening a no-debut call for him if he doesn’t clean up that shit asap. hence why his teaser was almost the last to show up. if girl is getting with Kai now, then damn, she’s my new bias.
- the hyuna abortion story version i read had JYP as the babydaddy. nas-TAY.
trololol this is priceless
that could also possibly explain amber’s random absence, maybe she was the one in f(x) who beat up someone. but i won’t assume things…
fans even noticed there was distance between onew and the rest of the shinee members http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcKCwslFlq8 i’m betting it was key they don’t seem close at all.
well kai definitely has or had a girlfriend recently because he posted it on his cyworld pre-debut or something so it wouldn’t be surprising if he was dating this trainee girl.
EW but i heard it was kikwang that got her pregnant. this girl i know who was on kpop star for a little said JYP is a pervert so i wouldn’t be surprised though.
the Amber one is a bit tough to decipher since she seems to be at least neutral with everyone. the banishment back to LA smells more like contract negotiations with SM didn’t went smoothly.
if we’re talking about Real Housewives level of douchebaggery, i’m more incline to think Krystal and Sulli. these 2 are the Kai and Taemin of F(x).
Yeah apparently JYP has done stuff with people that want to be Kpop idols. I kinda puked in my mouth when I heard it. DX
I asked about Yoona but my sis said that she hasn’t found anything from her “sources” about her that was worth noting. Her excuse was that Yoona was prolly so damn boring that saesangs just didn’t give a shit
@CorePride apparently Seohyun’s image isn’t fake. My sister and I were surprised but she is as clean as the media over there paints her to be. My sister hates Yunho with a burning passion (best thing to do is to set her ipod/laptop backgrounds to Yunho photos when she naively leaves them around) and is trying to find dirt on him. Pretty much all that she’s told me so far is that he is a betraying, spoiled coward (staying in SM) and she says that he is a fake ass fucktard because he is painfully fake with his whole “IMMA TOUGH GAI!!!” act that he’s got going on. I’ll tell you if anything comes up. She is currently not telling me where she is getting this stuff and is only giving me little doses at a time, and only if I pretty much do work for her -_- SOWWY!!!!!
Once again, if anything doesn’t make sense, it’s autocorrect
yup i totally agree about krystal and sulli. ok well thanks for typing all that out anyways ^.^
I only liked the first half of the song, then from middle to end, meh.
You know what’s really annoying? Fucking people making Kpop reaction videos. I wish upon them to fall face first on hot concrete, then an autistic Danish man beats them senselessly while they’re down. Still trying find that one person to give their honest opinion to some of these fuckery instead of “OMGOMGOMG, THEY’RE SO TALENTED AND DEEP! BEST VIDEO TO DATE!” After that, they wanna put up a fake ass intellectual thought to what the mv is about. Kiss my ass.
And that….was my rant for today :)
THIS!
I never watch those willingly. There is always someone else that drags me to the computer to watch some boring ass idiot talk about how they felt about an mv while I just sit there cringing through every minute. I just could not care less about what these dumbass people have to say about their dumbass interpretation of a dumbass video. I choose not to listen to idiots.
http://jtvhee1.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/hairflip.gif
Maybe I should do them on video, lol.
Simon and Martina from Eat Your Kimchi do music reviews… they’re the only people on YouTube that I know who do it in the video format. So I guess that’s an “MV reaction” for you if you want to check it out. It’s pretty obvious that they’re catering to the Kpop fanbase of 12-year-old girls though. They sugarcoat a lot of stuff but they are making money from it for a living, so…

This is the best MV Korea has seen in 2012
HAHAHA
too much raina in their performances for me to enjoy :(
When I first saw it I thought Raina was the new girl .-.
I only watched the MV for Nana & Jooyeon.
Now THIS is a review!
Not enough Jooyeon. She even has long hair now and looks like the perfect skeet target.
Tis the truth my good sir
idk why but I expected you to give it a 4/5 simply because of that sexplosion of a dubstep break.
Also, is it just me or did like half of them get PS o_o Raina does not look like herself.
Pretty sure I wrote an article about her face being fucked.
there’s nothing subtle about the change in her face.
