K-pop


Korean pop culture has become massive in the last few years, not just here but in Japan, Southeast Asia and especially China. This movement is called 한류, which translates as 'Korean Wave'. Particularly popular are the boy bands, and they build them big over here. The latest phenomenon is Superjunior, who has no less than 13 members (including one Chinese guy, no doubt for crosscultural marketing purposes).


K-pop band Superjunior, whose website suggests they are all indeed male. Apparently 12 members weren't enough so they've added one more since this photo was taken!

Yes they do Glamour very well here. Not so much in the North though - the Kim Jong Il bouffant is still big there.
