On a related note, I'd like to see the Foo Fighters fighting the foo!
Can't STAND when they make them look like kids but top picture, dressed as adults, is sploooosh status
edit - ewww never mind I thought they were like early to mid-20's. One of them is like 15.

NewJeans have been blowing up much faster than BLACKPINK were, it's the biggest rookie group in history of Korea.
They weren’t doing that, and you know it. It just isn’t their thing and they were being lamely funny. No need to try and imply dark intent.
k-pop is an interesting phenomenon originating from government encouragement and let’s face it, based on American boy bands.
And it is hugely successful on a global scale. My daughters, who are really into k-pop as well as k-dramas, inform me BTS has sold more albums than the Beatles. And TBH, if I was choosing I would rather their character is built on Korean music and TV values than hip hop culture.
Who hangs out in a store? Even poor peasants have better things to be doing than that.
Oxford Dictionary has a definition for “foo fighter”, it is an “unidentified flying object”.
Dave Grohl chose one of the most interesting names for his band.

They should invite PSY if they’re going to open a store in Gangnam, he’s the one that made Gangnam style!
It’s about relevance with other luxury brands. Currently the likes of Gucci and LV are using NewJeans members for brand ambassadors, thus it makes sense for Apple to pick them.
BLACKPINK is my ult. group, they’re pretty busy with world tour and Jisoo’s solo project. Anyway, New Jeans or IVE or LE SSERAFIM will be more suitable.
I call the J-Pop bands "dare demo ii" bands. 誰でもいい. It means 'whoever' in Japanese - meaning, you could swap out any of the members of these groups with members of another group and it would make literally no difference whatsoever.
It's cancer though. All of its boy bands are feminized beatles-mushroom-haircut-femboys, the lyrics are complete garbage, and it took a weirdo like PSY to make something propumar by being radical and taking a new approach.
The only die-hard following it has is by either western weebs (or the korean equivalent to that term) and confused korean kids who know no better and have no idea there's a whole other world out there and have just as much sense as those in the west listening to something equally ******.
Since you mentioned spanish music sure, there is Spanish music and then there's latino trash. Spanish would be, amongst other things, flamenco music, song and dance. A jaw-dropping performance is done correctly, with a deep history of cultural fusion between native spanish music and long-standing arabic influence. But then there's latino s*** that's literally 90% of all else: the badum-ta-tum badum-ta-tum beat and on too of it some tragic vato mumbling nonsense. Kinda like SP's parody of Jennifer Lopez.
Consuming bad music is like consuming human feces: surely doable. But speaks volumes of the consumer's taste.
Well, there you go. I bet a sewage maintenance worker sees no difference either when working with what's down those pipes, for the same exact reason.
Nah, more like that's your most honest attemot at disagreement that ended up a passive-aggressive blurb.
Looking forward to seeing more pictures from the newest Apple store in South Korea.
