Perez Hilton & K-Pop ... Hmm

I honestly have no idea why I decided to write about this, but I did so ...

I've seen a lot of tweets from you all about Perez Hilton and your dislike for him posting K-Pop on his blog. You're all entitled to your opinion, I'm not saying you're wrong or criticizing it in any way, shape, or form. I think maybe I just see a different side of things when it comes to his association with K-Pop, so I can't really hate on him too much.

I asked you all on Twitter how you felt about him and K-Pop, and some of you responded back (thank you, by the way). 

In a nutshell:

• Not really sure how to feel or don't care either way
• Dislike due to bad publicity towards idols
• Bad publicity is good publicity

I know what you mean, I get it. I get ticked off too when I read some of the comments people leave. For one, the grammar on 90% of them is atrocious and I think anyone who cannot comprehend the difference between "there" "their" and "they're" needs to go back to elementary school (those learning to speak English are excused). But also, you must take into consideration one thing:

What do your friends who don't listen to K-Pop say when you play them a song or show them a video?

They look at you like you're insane, right? I get it all the time from my friends and family. (I think that's why I love you all so much). People are very critical about things they don't understand, it is human nature.

I pulled a few comments from the video for "Lollipop 2" he posted.

"This is some of the worst crap I have ever heard!!! If this is a band you are promoting then you are in trouble!! If you like it you have no credibility to be on idol!! Oh yeah and nobody but your narscistic (sic) self thought ht (sic) Perez doll was clever or funny~"

"i hope these boys are gay there is no reason for grown ass men to be dressed that way"

"Proving once again that you know nothing about good music, Mario (as if your concert tour, or recording label didn't make that perfectly clear). "K-pop" and "amazingness" don't belong in the same sentance (sic)."

You get the point. Sad thing is that since his blog is so big and he has people ghostwrite for him (because there is absolutely no way a graduate of NYU writes "staid" instead of "stayed"), the option of screening comments and reading everything people post is impossible. At the same time, people are entitled to their own thoughts, no matter how idiotic they may be.

The reason I can't hate on him is because ... well, you should know by now ...

Perez Hilton is the person who introduced me to K-Pop.

If I did not read his blog a few times a week, I would not have stumbled upon Super Junior's "Sorry, Sorry." And then I would not have become addicted to K-Pop, meaning that I would have never created this blog. In a kind of weird, twisted way ... I owe a lot to Perez promoting K-Pop.

Yes, he doesn't do it often, and he only showcases a few groups, but the fact remains that he is getting the word out there about them. If I became curious enough to check out Super Junior, to see more from them, then I am pretty sure that others out there have done the same.

However, I will say that the minute he starts posting negative comments about these idols ... oh, I will help assemble the mob with pitchforks and torches. He can't control what close-minded people think or say, so it isn't necessarily fair to blame him for that. And as for him not being the appropriate person to be the "spokesperson" for K-Pop internationally ... well, I'll be more than happy to fulfil that role.

I'll have the world wiping up their drool puddles off the floor. I should probably sell hankerchiefs if I ever earn that role, huh?

Oh, and I will also say this ... if the dude comes near G-Dragon or T.O.P or any of my idol babes and blogs about them in a way that I would ... HELL NO WILL I ALLOW THAT SHIT.

He can post videos all he wants, but once he goes after my boys ... na-uh. That won't be tolerated. Because whatever unfunny, lame attempt he makes at talking dirty about them would be just that: an unfunny, lame attempt. If I see one, "seksi," "HAWT," "yummers," or if he tells any of them to lose their pants ...

No. There can only be one dirty blogger in the K-Pop world. And that is me.

Feel free to go at it in the comment section!
