Chuck Eddy on K-pop:

http://www.spin.com/articles/k-pop

Chuck wrote this over a year ago, told me he didn't think Spin had made it available online so I didn't look, but it turns out they had. Excerpts:

"horse-whinnying Cypress Hill–style nasal frat-hop" (Seo Taiji & Boys)

"hiring hotties as much for dancing as singing" (H.O.T.)

"tunes about shy boys, kissing, and snow" (S.E.S.)

"threw samples hard and soft — notably, traditional Asian gorgeousness — into the pot" (Drunken Tiger)

"unprecedented combination of talent, looks, ambition, healthy living, and multilingual studiousness" (BoA)

"Maybe somebody somewhere raps faster than E.via on 'Shake!' but no way as adorably." (E.via)

"G-Dragon and T.O.P. from long-standing boy bunch Big Bang begin by banging big" (GD&TOP)

"mega-delectable mega-hit 'Gee'" (SNSD)

Oh yeah, it took them forever, but they eventually put that up. I also wrote about half of these blurbs, more recently (and hopefully, in both pieces, didn't plagiarize too much from you in the process):

Remember writing that email! XD By rights I should have the physical copy of Spin, too... somewhere...

Well, if it's any consolation, Petronia, I don't have a copy of the issue either. (Not even sure I ever saw one.) Still, thanks for your help!
