So I might have a little bit of a girlcrush on Korean pop star Lee Hyori. Or maybe I just feel a bit lost with no one in the media to "model" myself after. I mean, who exactly am I supposed to identify with?
a) Cassandra from Wayne's World
b) maybe Thandie Newton, if you squint (or if I don't squint, ha)
c) a bobblehead hula girl
d) nobody famous
Can I be this girl, for about ten minutes? A twinkly Asian "blonde" with street style and great dance routines?
What's odd is that this 3-part series of music videos is also blatantly a commercial for Samsung cellphones. On YouTube someone called Lee Hyori a Samsung model, whereas no one on MTV's Top 20 is referred to as a Dolce & Gabbana model. MUSIC as advertising? Is this some new Asian phenomenon I'm not aware of? Because I would totally do a paper on it.
Everything's potential research fodder these days. I think I have to scour a few master's theses this summer to get a better idea of what hasn't been done. Also something that would:
a) address a current issue (e.g. inconspicuous consumption, "green" design)
b) be considered edgy and "sexy". I think one achieves that by bringing seemingly disparate elements together in a creative way. In other words, something like this.
