MAMA (Mnet Asian Music Awards) 2015

There's a first time for everything, and mine right now is posting about the MAMA 2015 Awards, which took place on 2. December 2015 in Hongkong. The event was filled with famous artists in the K-Pop (Korean Pop) industry. You can watch this year's performances by watching the YouTube vid below from Girl Group 2NE1, then following the links at the end of the video for further acts. From all the winners, the group Big Bang was the biggest winner this year, since the won the Grand Prizes *Song of the Year and *Artist of the Year, but also Best Music Video and Worldwide Favourite Artist.

The Group EXO also had four awards, Best Asian Style, Global Fans' Choice Male, Best Male Group, and the Grand Prize Award *Album of the Year.

The biggest performance, or rather surprise performance of the night was from Girl Group 2NE1, who had been on hiatus for the whole year. Amongst the comeback performances was also the world famous Gangnam Style singer PSY, who is a label mate with both Big Bang and 2NE1.

Aggressive Taxi Passengers

This couple needs to be sued big time! Please watch the below video. Though I don't understand Korean, I can clearly see with my own eyes that what they're doing is totally uncalled for. They probably didn't know they were been filmed, or maybe they forgot?? Whatever the case, good thing cab drivers have a black box, because it makes us see what people are capable of when they think no one is watching. Now that I think about it, they probably didn't think it would be broadcast worldwide like this! Serves them right, they should really be ashamed of themselves. Utterly rude behaviour!
So according to what I could find on research, the couple in their 20s brutally assaulted the cab driver near Hongdae Station, by kicking and pulling his hair. The couple initially thought the cab is empty when they entered, but it turns out the driver was waiting for a passenger who had made an earlier reservation. Although the driver actually tried to explain the situation (check out the guy using his phone, so was he even listening..?) they still entered stubbornly. The driver politely asked them to leave, but the couple still refused even after the customers with the reservations came, and instead reported him for not taking passengers. The guy then violently grabs the driver's collar and violently threatens him, while the girlfriend tries to call him down and they leave. It seems the ordeal is over, when suddenly the guys goes to the driver's side, opens the car door and starts kicking the driver. When the driver decides to defend himself, the girlfriend too starts assaulting him.
What even made me more upset after watching the clip is the people who had seemingly made the reservation for the cab. After seeing the altercation between the couple and the driver, they just up and left!! I mean they were at least three people, and the couple were a man and a woman. Why couldn't they open their mouth and help the poor man and remain in the cab, instead of just leaving? They should also be ashamed of themselves. If you understand Korean you can read the original article on the insight news website. What are your thoughts on this?

Who Rocked It Better?

So as you can see I've decided to make my first fashion post a "Who Rocked It better?" You will notice that the Fashion Label will not solely be about Asian Fashion or Designers, but what you see people or artists wearing, or even just plain and simple street wear. 

This first outfit was worn by 2NE1 singer Sandara Park at the Fendi Fashion Week 2015 in Milan, and the second by a model on the runway. So what do you think, who rocked it better?
