Kpop: Vividiva (비비디바)




There are many kpop girl group debuting every year and most of them only have a life spon of 1-3 years and a couple of singles before they fade away if they don't get a break. What Vividiva got in their debut last autumn was a slight maid fetisch going on but even more their pronouncation of the refrain "Service", which has been said to sound like lots of things except just Service, the most obvious and funny being "So Piss"... a unique selling point, though not one they may have wished for. This kind of engrish isn't that common nowadays in kpop, so one must enjoy it when it appears. ;-)

Kpop: Fcuz (포커즈)







The boyband F.CUZ has a number of really nice pop songs and videos, but they must surely win first prize in the unfortunate contest of bad band names. The four letters are supposed to red "Focus", but I, and many else, read it as "Fuckers", which obviously is not the image these guys are going for...another case of classic "engrish".
