Korea.com reports that Norazo’s new song “Woman Person” was written by the 8 year son of the lyricist who wrote their song Superman.

Also they are wearing costumes like the film Leon The Professional

Here’s the MV with subs (complete with a sexualized Caucasian woman) that seems to parody the film, but I haven’t seen it & my hubby doesn’t remember.

I don’t read every article posted on Seoulbeats, but every article I do read there is well thought out and informative.  I almost always have the desire to pass it along, usually through here (formerly on the tumblr site)

In this article they are discussing the use of Caucasian females in Korean MVs as playthings saying

One reason might be because Korean media (run predominantly by men) are on a power trip, and want to show their dominance in society by being able to “conquer” what some would call a sexually revolutionized foreign female. Another reason could be that Korea’s conservative society wishes to leave the sexualized acts to foreigners and feed into the false idea of chaste Koreans and overly-sexualized Caucasians. And a more far reaching reason is that Korean media is only reciprocating the way they are objectified in western media. Or perhaps it’s a mixture of all three, but there is no clear answer.
