girls; korean pop songs meanings

i have to say that
girls just love dolling themselves up.

:)
because i love to do that too!
from painting of your nails,
to experimenting hairstyles,
to matching your clothes and shoes, and bags (girls seriously have a thing for shoes and bags)
to putting on makeup.

i dont mind spending hours doing them.
because i'm a girl.

besides kpop songs being catchy/having beautiful melodies,
the meaning of the song/lyrics are really, well, meaningful!
i mean, for non-koreans like me, i can only listen to the tune, watch the expressions of the singers and the dance moves, with occassional appearance of familiar words from my limited korean vocabulary, to guess and interpret the meaning of the songs.
of course, this is before googling the eng translations of the songs online.

but one amazing thing is that,
watching (eng)subbed musicvideos on youtube
not just only helped me understand the meaning of the song,
it made everything fall in place,
how the meaning fits how it sounds in korean,
how the meaning fits the dance moves, the mv setting, the tune etc.

it makes the songs 100times better!
the boys, bubble pop, so hot etc

without knowing the translations,
people may think that "bring the boys out" means girls generation is so hot that they can bring the boys out.
but no.
after watching the engsubbed mvversion,
you will then know that it is actually about giving encouragement for the guys out there who have no confidence in themselves, or who are tired with life.
they want them to stand up for themselves.
it is a song about bringing the confidence of the boys out.
and then, everything begins to fit.
