To tell you the truth, I've taken forever to be able to connect name to voice and name to face (I think I'm up to maybe half of SNSD), and with everybody changing hairstyles every three minutes I usually have to really concentrate. Then, finally, a face will click, and I'll always recognize that person. And then labor over recognizing someone else. I'm pretty bad IRL, too.

K-pop has managed to flip me, though; I'm paying way more attention to visuals. I talked about this the other day over on the SNSD Free For All. The live TV performances especially seem to have a lot at stake, despite the sometimes substandard singing.
