Just came back from outside from a walk around Korea University Campus, a nice walk I tend to do whenever I feel like having some fresh air to make my brains work again. What was supposed to be a nice silent walk with my thoughts somewhere floating between the uni's dormitories and trees, a bright shining sun making the temperature go up to 30 degrees - and yet still didn't find any time to buy some nice shorts or skirts to show my funny legs ;-) - was interrupted by the sight of people heading to and coming from the direction I was heading to. Strangely enough, even though I am not that perceptive when I am outside as some of my friends always remind me - I found the people walking around me a bit different from the ones I am used to see in our Uni environment, let's so some people that looked a bit more extraordinary than the average one... Arriving at my point of destination, half way my walk, in front of the football stadium I saw some nice stands outside, selling food and beverages and a long long loOOOng row of youngstArs standing in line to... to do what? There must be some kind of concert going on, I thought and then I saw the sign board with "슈퍼스타k2" meaning "SuperStar k2"... didn't really need to guess the meaning of it, did I? Well apparently today was the audition day for people who want to risk their face on the stage, and one amongst all of them, will soon be famous and standing in the spotlights with the other Korean famous people... Well, nice sight, but lot's of very young people, carrying guitar, high heels, mini skirts and shorts, legs, legs, leEEEgs... it might help though to convince the jury, I thought, maybe 0,1 percent ;p...
Everybody with their own dreams... but commercializing superstarism... I don't know what to think about it. For some it might be the way out of their boring lifedom, for some it's like hell of no privacy, but most people enjoy stardom, isn't it? Well, at least I am only concerned about my studies, as I know I will never be famous, as long as I am famous among my own family consisting of people that you can count one one hand :-)... Hehe. It's 30 degrees celsius, and for Koreans it's hard labor to wait outside in the sun, some might even get brown legs from waiting whole day outside.
Anyhow, FIGHTING for the courageous ones, because I continued my walk, passed some application forms - would I? naaahhh - some guitarists and long silky hair like maybe future Korean superstars, a girl with long nice legs on heels at least 15cm high, a guy who was talking about the audition to his friend on his way back - but man, .. is he even a man ? I wondered because of the way he was waving his arms like an excited girly girl and like he was holding his handbag - scusi - men's bag... I already felt defeminized by the look at him... or was I just jealous of his smooth, pale white foundation powdered face? Yes, it must have been that ;p
Too bad, I didn't took my camera with me. But I did took picture with cell phone.. uploading it is another matter, just enjoyed my banana that I bought on my way to groceries - crossing some punk hair style Korean guy - and a yogurt. Tonight I am going to enjoy a delicious red bean ice bar - yUmmY, while the "SuperStars in spe" show the best of themselves to get praised or completely humiliated by the jury...
Diving back with my head in books, I am fantasizing about... well, I think I might make a chance for the next SuperStudK !! Fingers crossed, Aja Aja FIGHTING !! :)
