Asian Pop Addict: 2008 edition

Week #119

Flash back 2008 is in full effect!

Ah. 2008 was a great time in music. We decided to take a break from that negative nonsense going on in 2012, & we hopped in the delorean & went back into time to spazz about all the things we never did spazz about when APOPA didn't exist!

So sit back and relax (because this show is a longggggggg one) & reminisce about the happenings in 2008.

Disclaimer: So much happened in 08 that of course we forgot to mention certain things. Don't kill us. Just enjoy the things we did talk about, k?

FUCK THE SKY!

Many of you know already that DBSK / TVXQ’s Mirotic was being censored by the Korean Ministry of Health. Well, the edited (cleaned up) version was recently uploaded and it’s basically the same song. The only thing that changed was the line “Under My Skin” to “Under My Sky.” The change just made it Engrish-friendly… what was the point in changing Skin to Sky? How did they get something that was harmful to the youth from “Under My Skin?” There’s been a lot more provocative and explicit language used in KPOP music before, but why the sudden banning of songs now? I can see how someone could misinterpret Rain’s music that was banned, but not this.
