If You Expand My Favorite Pop Group Into China I May Have to Kill You

There are a few ways to interpret the following story:

a. Korean teenage girls are insane
b. Korean parents foster a strong culture of political protest
c. This band is hot and well-worth the trouble

At the risk of sounding uncouth I’m leaning toward choice A. The above photo is a demonstration undertaken by an estimated 700-1500 E.L.F. (EverLasting Friends), aka Elves, who are fans of the Korean pop group Super Junior.

Their gripe? Well, the band’s management company SM has been undertaking an expansion of the Super Junior empire into China, by creating Super Junior-China. Keep in mind, this is a pop group. Super Junior originally debuted with 12 members, and then expanded (to much controversy) to 13 in 2006.

The boys:

    Oh Gawd…They sound like a bunch of Chucky Dolls…’I'm your friend to the end! Hid-e-ho! HAHAHAHA!’

    They need an exorcism! They’ve been invaded by Chucky!

    I was thinking more Stepford Wives, but Chucky is better.
