In Korea, the show must go on ....

Wow, I can't believe they didn't even hesitate. That is just wrong.
 
Youtube is amazing.

I can go from watching that video to a guy dying on live television then onto New Bloopers and then finally onto upskirt clips.

My first response was: Is this real? :confused:
 
Holy crap...I mean they could've at least stopped for a while or cancelled their performance. Man...people just don't care about others if it means making themselves gain reputation or just looking good.
 
They lip sync better then Milli Vanilli, good on you girls your one in a million ;)

What should be explained to all you liberal panzy asses is that in Korea, when the guy backstage tells the performer to break a leg, he really means it. Lead pipe to the knee cap usually does it.

Who are we to deride another nations culture :dunno:
 
This is rather terrifying. And I don't mean the youtube clip. I mean some of the reactions in this thread.
What happened there on stage had nothing to do with the state and nothing to do with lead pipes either.
Of course it is "screwed up" from the point of view of anyone with a decent (western society) set of morals. But it's South Korea. Their society is in many respects as capitalist and shallow as for example the American society. It just shows differently. Whereas in the States she (as an epileptic who just had a seizure in front of millions of viewers) would probably have been a laughing stock and the subject of ridicule because that's what challenged or sick persons often are in the US. In South Korea on the contrary challenged or sick persons are mostly ignored because the pose a matter of shame and unwanted responsibility. Shame has in these societies (for example the Japanese society in many aspects as well) a different cultural meaning than for example in the United States.
So, the moral mindset in South Korea may be different but others are no better. Before judging, you should know the background and the causes.

Being an epileptic myself, I have to say:

There is a frontier between professionality and what the fuck do I care.

These people have crossed that border.

You know, if you have a big epileptic fit like that guy has, it is possible that he swalllows his tongue and dies or busts his head in convulsion.

A tip:

Do not put fingers in the mouth of someone who has a epileptic fit, rather try and hold him stable and call a doctor asap. I almost drowned in Italy years ago on the beach and was lucky one of the life guards was nearby.
