Lee Jung Hyun: Tarahae Pwa
|
Let’s see… we got a bunch of Korean cowboys stepping out of an old car and entering a log cabin/bar. It’s like the director mad libbed this video. |
Out of all of the K-Pop stars, Lee Jung Hyun has to be my favorite. While she does sound like a trannie on helium; her ubercuteness, unique sense of style, and crazy completely random music videos more than make up for it. So I thought I’d do a quick run through of a LJH video that I’ve never seen before, Tarahae Pwa.

0:07 - Right off the bat we know that this isn’t going to be your typical K-Pop video. Let’s see… we got a bunch of Korean cowboys stepping out of an old car and entering a log cabin/bar. It’s like the director mad libbed the plot of this video.

0:12 - HOT!
By the way, wikipedia tells me the English translation of Tarahae Pwa is “Follow Me.”

0:22 - What the fuck is up with this dude’s face? Not only does he have the worst taste saver in the history of music videos, but he’s wearing more eyeliner than Robert smith.

0:31 - Awesome. We’re getting a whole lot of action shots of LJH already and we’re only about 30 seconds into the video. It also appears she’s serving up double shots of tequila.
Also, the music hasn’t started yet. It’s just LJH filling the air with supersextime la la la’s.

0:50 - LJH climbs on the table and all of the Korean cowboys start clapping.
1:06 - Music starts to pick up. One of them hands LJH a rose.

1:22 - I knew this part was coming sooner or later. LJH and all of her cowboy friends start dancing.
By the way, this video’s a few years old, but Lee Jung Hyun has had an incredibly long career when you think about the average shelf-life of a Korean pop music star. Normally older pop stars start acting or being kidnapped, but this isn’t the case with LJH.
1:28 - Watch the video around this 1:28. Trust me on this one.
1:37 - I know I described LJH’s voice as sounding “like a trannie on helium” earlier, but dammit, it’s pretty fucking hot. I don’t know what that says about me and my love for trannies though.

2:12 - I just felt like I had to take a screen shot. It’s like Hot Import Nights 1925.
This video is very… brown.
2:21 - Okay I think we got some upskirt action fellas. Or was it? I think I’m going to develop eyestrain because I’ve watched this same segment about a dozen times and I still can’t say for certain whether I saw something or not.
2:23 - I just read over the last paragraph I typed and I am starting to feel very sad.

2:26 - Confirmed. They were the same color as her skirt. I’m glad that my mother doesn’t know how to use the internet because if she ever saw this post…
Speaking of which, I’m really glad my parents don’t even know how to use the dvd player let alone a computer. Even though I try to keep as low of an “internet profile” as possible, my friends on facebook and myspace keep uploading pictures of me doing dumb shit.
2:57 - LJH can dance really well. It’s not forced and awkward like a lot of K-Pop female singers.

3:42 - LJH turns on a well pump. This probably means that she’s about to get wet. Oh yes.
Verdict:
Meh. Aside from LJH looking all sexified, there’s nothing really special going on in the video. I would think that with an interesting setup like Korean cowboys riding in Al Capone’s car something might have happened… A ton of money could have been saved by just having LJH play around with the water pump.
Score: 6.5
