Hyori Lee

[Ang Mo]

I am really not sold on her musical talent or ability but she definitely could be my future wife if she could dance this way while I am playing the theme song from MANNIX. Now back to my Korean studies......

Sexy... but I still got my spinning girl.

Sexy... but I still got my spinning girl

Excellent choice Ben! I thought the spinning girl had some real talent even though the movie I saw her in, BLOOD was not that good.

Hyori's video reminded me of an old espisode of Star Trek called, "A piece of the Action" It was about a race of aliens who had picked up old radio transmissions and tv signals from earth and replicated the language and looks of the old Chicago Gangsters. What amused me about Hyori's video was the fact it seemed like a complete replication of a Britney Spears video. After some research apparently Hyori's last album and tour were stopped because the songs were copies of a prior Britney Spears album. It was fascinating to discover this. The punishment here was self inflicted, the punishment was equal to someone taking a test and cheating off of the dumbest person in the class and getting an "F". I then watched a Vienna Teng video. Vienna just goes out and plays her instrument and sings her song. There are no explosions, no hip-hop dancers, jugglers, people being shot out of cannons, flashing lights, outrageous costumes etc. I guess the difference is Vienna is a musician and Hyori is a performer. I think Hyori will look at her own videos and feel like she was at one of those old high school pep rallies when she gets to the age of realization. I read she is working on her "comeback" album. She does have a lot of fans no doubt. I would be her biggest fan if she would dance to the theme song of MANNIX!

I apologize for posting this thread under Vienna's Kitchen, I meant to place it under other fine cuisine.[/b]

Indeed, I was thinking that this thread was inappropriately placed....

Strangest thing - I actually watched the video yesterday at work, without sound. All I could think was "I don't think I have ever seen so many crotch shots in a single performance video in my life!"

So... should I go back and watch it again at home, with sound? Or would that be a waste of time. (Or perhaps a waist of time? )

I think you would be amused by the sound. The reason which I give for this is it seems incredible that someone could be jumping around, dancing, and singing , yet not be out of breath. It makes me suspicious that lip synching is involved here,. I could be wrong.

Still she has a certain quaint appeal. I personally think that I am a perfect match for her in the sense that I have a tattoo of a pit bull mated with a scorpion on one shoulder and my other shoulder has a tattoo of a box of Captain Crunch with a knife going through it and the words “Cereal Killer” Also I have the perfect wardrobe to offset her “Britney Spears Collection” I have the pork pie hat, the old fashioned “wife beater” tank top, loud boxer shorts, and of course an artistic pair of socks I can teach her all my dance moves. Well, I would if I had some. However, at my advanced age, and all though I am a crotchety old man, I think my inability to speak Korean, and not being rich enough to support a trophy wife I will have to leave that blessing up to a younger athlete more suitable to the task. I had fun watching the video though.

Okay... the mental image created by those tattoos has my brain going a bit crazy....

I did go back and watch the video with sound at home over the weekend. I don't think she's lip synching. The woman (girl?) can't sing. And that is painfully apparent in the video. She can dance and she can smile. She also has a talent for constantly flicking her hair out of her face.

The song she is singing may be called 10 minutes, but personally I was glad that the video was, in real time, much shorter than that.

Yeah, you've got a good point there. It is sort of like when the wise old fox mated with a porcupine. He said, "It's amusing, but painful"

Not that good? Blood had some really great cinematography but I think the film as a whole was just horrendous. If you want to see her act, watch her psycho-supernatural drama, The Uninvited (the Korean title was "Table for 4"... I think) or Il Mare (the one Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock did a remake of).

And that's minus the Chairman's famous "cleavage" talks. You got to hand it to Lee for having a great body.

Looks like we're in the same boat, mate. Only the Chairman can conjure up such images.

The woman (girl?) can't sing.

Ironically, she won several singing awards in SoKor.

I was joking around at work with a co-worker, that she dresses very Hyorish. Then after examining more of her videos she has one where right on the stage, in giant bold letters, HYORISH, with her smiling, singing, and hairflicking. (Justin Bieber) must be enraged and having his attorney looking into copyright infringement. I can hear him screaming, "She stole my hair flick"!

Only the young can successfully pull off the repetitious "hair flicking" without hurting themselves. If I were to try that, I'd wind up with whiplash!

I've suffered from enough "gig neck" through the years, anyway.

To cap it all off I offer these two videos. One of Hyori performing live at the Hollywood Bowl. I just wish I could have brought her a stripper pole and introduced myself as the rapper known as Miso Horn-ay or maybe something more gangsta like O.D.M.B. which stands for Old Dirty Mormon Bastard. What can I say, I am a hopeless romantic.

and of course one of her singing in English that R&B oldie "Killing me Softly"

or lip syching it.
I wipe a tear from my eye. Ben is right, she does have a pretty good body.

After buying the new $5.00 aphrodisiac Charlie Sheen Tiger's Blood off ebay I am ready to fly to Korea and marry Hyori. The stuff tasted awful, sort of like it has been strained through a homeless man's underwear with hints of Victorian underskirt. Disgusting but like the song says, you have to go through hell to get to heaven or what not. I just hope it is not a rip off like the time I gave out my ATM pincode to somebody because I would inherit a few million dollars from some King in Africa....................

Ain't the internet wunnerful?

[Ang Mo]

It is, they are also throwing in a complimentary bottle of Adonis DNA which will make this trip so much easier to Korea. Normally I get airsick and have to pass that paper bag to the stewardess. Now I am invincible!
