Narsha and SHINee: Illuminati Infiltration of K-Pop

"Illuminati symbolism is not only present in American pop culture, it is also heavily referenced in Korean pop (K-Pop), a multi-billion industry that reaches millions of young fans. We’ll look at the occult symbolism found in Narsha’s “Bbi-Ri-Bop-A” and SHINee’s “Lucifer” to see how the same hidden force that rules the American music industry also rules K-Pop."

This is really stupid.....

....even coming from a person who hates Korean music.

Yet another attempt by Westerners to demonize Asian culture and people. Oh well.

Funny thing is that they aren't just "demonizing" Asian culture, this is just a small quote compared to everything else they analyze about Western culture.

^^ this website also has articles on Lady Gaga, Beyonce, and Rihanna videos .. This is the only one on Kpop/Asian music .. The person who sent the videos to them was trolling but they took it seriously
And seriously dude I don't get your passionate hate about Kpop D:

hah, I remember when this one first came out.

The Narsha one seems believable, but it was probably her director's idea lol.
But the one about SHINee was such a stretch .. Plus I can't take it seriously because of the "Asian Male Pussycat Dolls" part Whoever wrote that article clearly didn't do enough (or any) research on them.

I just find it very interesting lol and yeah the Narsha one might be a bit too obvious. But the other dudes' one... not too sure. The lyrics are kinda weird though!

Anyway the writer(s?) of this blog use sarcasm a lot, so I'm not surprised they called them the Asian male version of the Pussycat dolls lmao

The reaction by the fans is pretty funny too.


AND omg their article about Black Eyed Peas' Imma Be / Rock Your Body videoclip is so interesting!! It made me think about the hidden meaning of it so much! lol (spare timeeeee, too much!)

But the meaning still too out there for Narsha's videoclip. Isn't it obvious that she's some kind of underground creature/witch/demon with black wings who turned from being a "virgin" of some kind into a black raven on a trident?? Is not like she or her producers didn't know the meaning lol Maybe they thought it was cool etc.

And the Lucifer thing is so for the lols!

I remember reading this at omonatheydidnt,
people actually more cared about "male version of PCD" than about the the rest of the article xD

Well mentioning SHINee's Lucifer PV in this article is hilarious since the boys are just dancing and showing off (this comes from a shawol)
And SM Entertainment's use of English has been always...interesting,
for example BoA's repeating verse in Hurricane Venus:
Quote:
Electronic Manic Supersonic Bionic Energy
Therefore I'd probably not take this stuff seriously

However Narsha's Bbi Ri Bba Bba PV always digged me somehow,
since you cannot deny that there are a few "shocking" details,
but imo it just came from a producer, who watched too many movies.
