For no other reason than to post this for Ben (who may or may not have seen it already), Japanese rocker Gackt recently performed at the Mnet KM Festival Awards in Korea. He won the Best Foreign Artist award and refused to accept the award because his only reason to go to Korea was to meet the fans. (*shrugs)
The expressionless faces of some of the Korean celebs in attendance are rather hilarious, in particular Super Junior member HeeChul in a mixture of awe and confusion.

Well Korean mainstream music doesn’t seem to be as eclectic I think. I mean they don’t have as much hype over Visual Kei, rock music and alternative music. It was weird performance I admit. Just didn’t fit in with the overly hip-hop and techno pop atmosphere of the awards. Anyway…Gackt has gone super weird but that doesn’t stop me from watching him. Yeah, it was funny to watch the audience’s expression. They just didn’t seem to get it. Hahahha
