If Gummi Bar Bar Bars, does she also Boom Bing Bing?

[koganbot]

Given that Crayon Pop recently recorded "Bar Bar Bar," and last year gave us "Bing Bing," it is pertinent to ask whether Crayon Pop member Gummi, therefore, Boom Bing Bings:

[EDIT: This was the 130215 Crayon Pop "Bing Bing" at Music Bank. but the vid was scotched for copyright violations and I can't find the performance anywhere else on the Web; I particularly wanted this one because Crayon Pop are slinking around the stage in sweats with hands in their pockets and sucking on a lollipop, like juvenile delinquents. The closest I can find is this one, twelve days later on Show Champion, sweats and hands in pockets but the camera maybe not as focused on the lollipop so not as much deadly lollipop menace.

Also, as we reported earlier, a woman who writes the blog D4ZZLING ME ("I'm just a mother of 2 kids who are obsessed with nail polishes and nail arts ^.^ ") was inspired by the Crayon Pop MV to do each nail in one of the five Crayon Pop training-suit colors:

Well, you yourself had alerted me that you were writing a piece. And while I didn't think it impossible that someone else might also write such a piece, I thought I should check.

I've really only read Seoulbeats when hopping by on Google searches, so have not looked at it enough to justify my general impression; but I do remember that the two or three things I saw about T-ara, for instance, were terribly naive — a basic, "do I have good justification for believing this idea/assertion/judgment?" seeming to be missing. And one of the most recent pieces I read there was this really childish and poorly argued piece that arbitrary_greay inexplicably loved about the fact that a white, French woman had been signed to join a K-pop group.*

I'll definitely read Dana, not just because you recommend her/him but because of that bit that David quoted that talked about 4th and 7th degrees and duple meter. Seemed very smart. "The heart of the Korean people throughout history" still seems ridiculous, though.

There's a site called "Beyond Hallyu" that I've only recently looked at, but it has promise. Although the quality varies considerably, the writers are trying to analyze from liberal/left perspectives and feminist perspectives. I guess "has promise" is me being condescending again (see footnote below); once again I've really only read a little; some of it was primitive and naive, some of it was genuinely thoughtful, some was all three. I like their writer Sophie, not least of all because she said something very nice about me on her blog, but also because she's interestingly uneasy with the way the music she loves can be at odds with her social ideals.

*I suppose that a childish piece is better than no piece at all, and the writer Patricia's perspective isn't totally at odds with mine; but that's no excuse for her to indulge in rampant resentment and illogic. The followup discussion by arbitrary_greay and greywing was much better [though now I'll never be able to compliment either of those two without being worried that greywing'll think I'm being condescending, which is the way she took a compliment I'd tossed at arbitrary_greay].
