kpop back in the day

• koreans who can sing, rap, and dance
• ten-second teaser then mv, both with cute little dances; album release

kpop now

• covers the whole asian spectrum
• younger than your younger siblings
• more members in a group than the number of people that can fit on a small caribbean island
• can sing, rap, dance, play guitar and piano, speak twenty different languages including sign language, do tae kwon do and gymnastics … at the same time, save orphans from a burning building, end war and world hunger, cure cancer and aids, feed your cat with gourmet cat food they’ve prepared using organic ingredients
• minute-long teasers of each individual member, music video, music video drama ver., music video dance ver., music video with b&w filter and slow-mo effects
• all of which include choreography so involved that an attempt would cost you two fractured bones, four pulled muscles, and possibly your life by spontaneous combustion
• digital single, album, album repackage, album repackage versions a, b, c, until they’ve used the whole alphabet and have to resort to numbers
• limited deluxe ultra mega super epic edition album repackage with 24390pg photobook of the group basically doing the same pose with slight variations while awkwardly holding/being surrounded by irrelevant props
