Yup, it’s whorish, with her Christina Augelera(sp?), Amy Winehouse, Beyonce biting self!
She’s sooo unoriginal. She’s a heavy ‘biter’ of other artists. VERY heave.
whoops! I meant ‘heavy’. lol.
Ugh! Not another Korean song butchering the word “girl”…
Attention hyore.
what a heatery.
Lana,
Jealousy is such an ugly emotion…
#1,
Yeah, it’s quite obvious that she listens to Christina Aguilera.
She’s a lot like Seo Taiji. His first solo album was basically Smashing Pumpkins and Veruca Salt. His second was Limp Bizkit and KoRn.
Sounded very Spice Girls to me… but overall, I liked it. *drools*
Who gives a shit. She’s fucking hot.
Hottest 30 year old on the planet… Whoo Hoo!
social stereotypes reinforced? check
inappropriate amount of flesh displayed (as deemed by societal norms) check
Negative image reinforcement? Check
everything wrapped up in a double layer of fantasy narration? check
generation of young people suckling deeply at the oozing, hairy teat of pop-crap for meaning and direction in their lives? Check!
Pop-Industry: Mission Accomplished!
Yes, she is hot, but in a scary airbrush come to life kind of hotness.
crikey!
yes, but can she use a wobble-board?

Billy is gay.
Her torso is so long. She looks 90% torso with short little legs.
I watched it twice!
#10,
She’s alright. My wife is hotter.
C’mon - her best days in pop are behind her. She should really focus on advertising - she’s far more successful there, earning several hundred million won per campaign, and rightfully so.
Sexy-hot? You bet. Great song? Not so much.
Yeah, she’s fine eye candy.Whoever doesn’t like the music can just not listen.I don’t.
Stupid video.
Stupid song.
I got an earache after hearing “gul” mispronounced so many times.
Did like Lee homoerotically singing about taking a gul home tonight.
Sorry.Couldn’t get through the video.I still dislike the short attention span theater that videos became way too long ago.
Good God that video was hard to watch. I do pride myself on endurance/tenacity, so I kept it paused and watched it in bits and pieces probably over an elapsed time of a few hours. I wonder if she’d have picked “Hyorish” if she understood the wordplay in English.
But then again, what else did I expect? I detest K-pop, and I don’t understand what my fellow Koreans/Korean-Americans see in it.
#9 has the right idea. STFU
#23, second that. (Or is that a third?)

you go, gull!
Jonathan Livingston Seagull LOVES this video. It makes him feel empowered and confident.
ps: enjoy it now. . . by the end of August, after hearing it come out of three of every seven shops you walk past for a whole month, it’ll make you wanna stick your fingers in a pencil sharpener. . . but on its own merits, catchy as hell. Why does every good/catchy/fun song have to get run into the ground with overplay?
On the other hand, after, you know a three-year detox period, the songs I enjoyed in 2003 before they got run into the ground, are fun again.
Kind of like hearing TLC’s “Waterfalls” on the radio and remembering, “Hey, this WAS a good song, before I got sick of it back in ‘96.” Still can’t handle “My Heart Will Go On,” though.
What was the song YOU liked the most before it got overplayed and ruined?
I’d say “Hey Ya” but it never actually got ruined for me — I liked it right to the bitter end.
You know, after listening (and watching) a couple of times, I think Hyo-ri’s actually doing some advertising here after all.
Yugo Girl!
hoju_saram, you have broken my mind.
“She’s alright. My wife is hotter.”
Pics or you’re a liar.
I didn’t watch it.
Whorish, indeed. What a moron.
Koreans + English = Disaster
There was a bitter end?
Epik High’s ‘Fly’ was kinda like that for me… except that it was my own fault, since I kept playing it over and over on my iPod.
Let me get this straight… everyone was actually [b]listening[/b] to the song? I was a bit distracted by another component of this MV, but all right… to each own, I guess.
Robert is correct, Hyori is hot.
But, I still can’t get over the scene where she goes in for plastic surgery. The song seems to be about empowerment but it reinforces the seemingly common belief here that women need plastic surgery to get ahead.
I would hit that so hard, whoever could pull me out would be crowned King of England.
shes hot and no talent!
nuff said
Her booty seem to grow larger with each new album, which is perfectly fine, except it’s hitting critical mass about now.
“It’s Hyorish” is a brilliant deconstruction of the postmodern concept of celebrity as a Nietzschean…naw, it’s stupid.
Are there any successful Female Korean Singers out there with just plain Jane looks.
My Korean wife commented that someone like Jordan of American Idol fame could never be a success in Korea because she’s a bit chunky.
After watching the ‘So Hot’ video I thought, why can’t any adults produce a pop hit these days. Then I saw this and realised it really wouldn’t make any difference.
But she, on the other hand, is hot.
It looks like it was made by someone with ADHD.
But damn she is hot.
Yum.
I am pretty certain she wasn’t hoping to attract the socially conscious or the politically astute crowd with the video.
Ya get what you came for :
If your fan base is built on wet dreams of same-same, why upset the apple cart, especially when trying to squeeze a few more years out of a “how you sing or danse is second to how you look” music career ?
Just turn off the sound and hit pause at the exact moment of interest, and the video does all it could possibly hope to do.
What is her fan website? I want to send her my pin number.
#17….I agree with #29…send us some pictures please ( even if you have to black out the eyes :)….even a reasonable hand draw facimile would be nice
I would hit that so hard, whoever could pull me out would be crowned King of England.
You named your dick Excaliber?
Sonagi,
Jealousy is such an ugly emotion…
There are Korean women whose looks I admire (Song Hye-gyo, Kim Tae-hee, Lee Mi-sook), but Lee Hyo-ri isn’t one of them.
I wonder if Lee Hyo-ri will look this great in a bikini when she’s sixty.
Ever notice how Lee Hyo-ri and some other entertainers like Eva Longoria and Jessica Simpson are usually photographed from mid-thigh in photo shoots? My kitchen table has legs longer than Lee Hyo-ri.
@#40
“’cause she’s with Captain Hammer now. And these (*raises fists*) are not the hammer…
…
The hammer is my penis.”
X-D
#33 “I would hit that so hard, whoever could pull me out would be crowned King of England.”
fucking hysterical….
yeah, her music sucks but who cares when her body is that fine.
I would love the opportunity to spend an evening with this fine young lady. I am not ashamed to admit the first load would probably go off in-my-hand. Yes Marmot, she is damn hot!
#43
This is for you;

Crap. Let me amend that url to this url then;

All things considered, would it have been any better if studman69 had said she was desirable? Maybe he’s extremely charismatic.
We’ve all seen the guy who looks like Marty Feldman say, “I wouldn’t throw her out of bed”. To tell you the truth, I’m not that interested in what somebody would “tap” or not. It goes toward an absurd train of thought that the woman would have anything to do with you in the first place. It’s comical! If you would, then, where is she?
“It’s comical.”
Yes, that’s the point

Nurse images to be edited out. Censorship!!!
Damn the Old Hag’s Assoc… errr… I mean Korean Nurses Association.
Per the article:
One netizen has opened a link on a portal demanding the music video be edited and has begun a signature drive. “Nurses study and work very hard but they’re exposed to sexual innuendo and harassment at work,” another Netizen wrote. “They are belittled in society because they’re portrayed in this kind of image.” Another said, “I’m joining the signature drive and regret that my heart thumped at the sight of a nurse uniform. My bad.”
Can’t make this shit up!
