Future Secretary-General Shows Leg
Feb. 7th, 2012 03:52 pmLook, how am I going to find time to write anything if I'm spending all my time watching Korean TV?
Background: on the East L.A. thread, I said,"But since I've pegged [Sunny] as a future President of South Korea or Secretary-General of the UN, or at least as the next Oprah, she really does need a command of English to fulfill my plans for her. Not so sure how her current dazzling blonde party-girl look fits my forecast, either. Not that I dislike the style, or think that the presidency shouldn't be held by someone who appears capable of bringing out the spirits and dancing a little jig at a moment's notice, but I don't believe that the voters or the Very Serious People who anoint candidates are ready to allow the most capable person in the room to look like that. (Assuming Sunny is all that. My estimate of her is based almost entirely on her tractor etiquette and the ease with which she's learned to handle potentially obstreperous chickens.)"
In response, Mat directed me to "Sunny making moves towards the goalposts you've set (context: pretend court where a real quarrel between two slightly troublesome boys has its seriousness taken out of it)," and he then linked us the following (he specifically linked 1m27s, which is where Sunny starts making moves [UPDATE: this is now a different embed; not sure where he'd have linked it. The TV company seems intent on quashing unauthorized uploads of this show, and I've therefore had to re-embed numerous times. Should this one go dead too, search the video-upload sites for episode 8 of "SNSD and the Dangerous Boys" or "Girls Generation and the Dangerous Boys."]):
I gather — from Wikip — that SNSD are quite seriously assigned to mentor several teenage boys, but of course while doing so they're supposed to be witty and entertaining and to draw viewers.
[EDIT: If you don't have time for the whole video above, I strongly, emphatically urge you — beg you — to watch Sunny's examination of Yoona that begins at 7:40.]
