Funny Korean Music Videos

This week I have been extremely busy trying to plan my English Summer Camp. This is the last week of the school term and next Monday is the start of camp which is in fact not a camp at all. It does not involve any tents, sleeping bags or singing songs around a campfire. Neither does it involve actually leaving the school at all. English Summer Camp is basically an extra week or two of English conversation classes at the school in the usual English classroom but with fewer students (just the few who have signed up for it) and more FUN (mandatory)!

Anyway, more about the summer 'camp' another time. The main purpose of this post was to share a couple of funny videos I found today whilst 'preparing' for my camp. The first one is by a popular Korean female pop combo called the Wonder Girls that features the immortal lines

"Why do you keep staring?

Am I really that pretty?

I know it already but all that staring makes me blush."

Yes, the Wonder Girls are not only "so hot" "so pretty" "so fine" and "so attractive" (in their own words) they're modest too. Watch the video for full English translation - it is pretty funny.

The Wonder Girls are wondering why men keep staring at them - could it be the skimpy outfits perhaps?

The second video is an awesome Middle School Camp project put together by an English teacher who is far more creative than me. He has got his class of 1st graders to hold up the words in time to Daft Punk's "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" - really cool video.

The N/O girl steals the show and it's funny that you don't see the HARD girl until right at the end.

We are thinking of getting our classes to do a similar thing for Bob Dylan's Subterranean Homesick Blues as a bit of an amusing homage to the original video for that song where Bob is chucking cards with some of the words written on over his shoulder.
