Oh. My. Lord. I don’t think I’ve seen anything so cringe-worthy yet funny before. Let me explain. I didn’t really know about BTS (Bangtan Boys) until after I saw them at KCon. I still don’t really know about them but a few of my friends suggested I watch their reality show to get a quick run down on them. If nothing else I’d get a few laughs. Laughs? Why? Because they have this man as one of their mentors. Coolio. Now I’m not knocking Coolio because I happened to love Gangster’s Paradise when I was a kid.

It’s just when he asks BTS about the history of hiphop REGARDLESS of the fact that he cannot speak Korean and they can’t speak English… remember when I said cringe-worthy yet funny? The boys start out enjoying the sights of LA, taking in a Dodgers game, blasting Drake in their car, and making plans for their future. 8 minutes in and everything was normal. I figure things would be okay. I was wrong. These dudes show up out of nowhere and “kidnap” the boys and take them to a “secret location” where they have them remove their shoes and basically scare the shit out of them. Once BTS realizes they are not getting ready to get sold into some type of sex trade (seriously one of them actually thought that was going to happen), they calm down a bit and head to bed. The next day they meet their trainers and of course Coolio with his shenanigans. Look I love kpop & k-hiphop but I’m sure if someone like Tiger JK rolls up on me and starts asking about the history of the genre, I’d be at a loss of words too. *sigh* I am going to watch the rest of the show because I am genuinely curious as to how they learn about being more “hiphop” and why they sent them to LA rather then NYC. Also the boys seem so adorably star-struck with everyone that they meet. And hey it is teaching me about the members. So are you watching it? What was your favorite episode/part/etc so far? And if you aren’t watching it but would like to, then here you go!
