G-Dragon Giveaway- One of a Kind album

2012/09/20 / Nic / 106 Comments

YAY GD Giveaway! I have one copy of the Bronze edition of the One of a Kind album.

My source in Korea (my sister-in-law) received it and is sending to me very soon. So I’ll start the giveaway now.I’m giving away the bronze edition because I realise some people of other religions may not be able to have such big religious symbols on something they own. The bronze edition seems like it has less religious imagery (whereas the gold edition has a big cross on it).

This giveaway will run for 10 days and will be drawn at the end of the month. To enter leave a comment in the comment section and don’t forget to like the My Korean Husband Facebook page and follow MyKoreanHusband on twitter.

GIVEAWAY CLOSED.

Get Your Crayon

2012/09/14 / Nic / 16 Comments

So I watched the preview before subtitles were added. Apparently he means “get your crazy on” or like “lets get crazy” and made a compound word. (Koreans love doing that).

HOWEVER, if someone is singing about a cylindrical object, I may just assume things… I’m not sad at the end of the comic because I want G-Dragon to be singing about something like that… just that I got a mini lecture about how things are in Korea again. Sometimes I still have trouble wrapping my mind around the extent of censorship.

That’s not to say that’s it’s good that so many western songs are so sexual or have thinly disguised sexual meaning, it’s just I’m surprised when Koreans, because of their culture, don’t see the same sexual innuendos.

So anyway, sorry G-Dragon.. haha.

P.S. I love you.

Anne Hathaway

2012/07/24 / Nic / 11 Comments

I really don’t look like Anne Hathaway. Some of my Korean friends said that I did years ago when I had dark hair. I’m pretty sure the only reason they thought that was because I was the first Western friend they had. So because I was a white girl with dark hair: “OMG you look like Anne Hathaway!!!”

I was just trying to rile my husband up because G-Dragon can be a jealously inciting subject. He wouldn’t want me to look like anyone GD may have taken a liking too… because then I might run away with GD or something??? I don’t know. Jealously doesn’t always make sense. I like to push his buttons because of course he has nothing to worry about. And it worked.

Haha, well It’s not really a secret how much I love G-Dragon.

So what is the correlation between K-Pop and having a Korean partner? Does having a Korean partner make someone interested in K-Pop or does being interested in K-Pop result in ending up with a Korean partner?

Both are possible. Some people are gradually exposed to K-Pop through their Korean partner and grow to like it. There are also others who discover K-Pop in another way and start to really enjoy Korean culture as well. This interest results in meeting more Korean people and the possibility of having a boyfriend or girlfriend who is Korean.

My story is a little bit different. Years ago when I first starting making Korean friends I really didn’t hear any K-Pop. My Korean friends were all on working holiday visas while in Australia. At this time I briefly dated a Korean guy as well. I was not exposed to any K-Pop at all. The following year I was living in Sydney in a share apartment with Koreans and that’s when I got bombarded with K-Pop! I didn’t like it…. and I said a lot of negative things.

Because most of my Korean friends were on working holiday visas, eventually, one by one, they all left Australia. There came a time when almost all my Korean friends were gone. Missing them, I actually starting listening to K-Pop on my own accord. G-Dragon was really what first got me interested. Through him I discovered Big Bang.

By the time I first met my husband I had completely become a K-Pop fan. Oh I’m still critical of a lot of groups but I always give them a chance now. Big Bang remains my favourite group and G-Dragon will always be the one that first led me into the wonderful world of K-Pop.

It’s not that my husband dislikes him, actually he really likes him, he just gets slightly jealous of my admiration.
