It's rare to see kpop idols wearing traditional hanboks (korean costume). So it got me wondering what this holiday Chuseok is really all about. From what I understand, Chuseok is a thanksgiving time Korens give to their ancestors. Unlike the western custom of Thanksgiving day, Chuseok focuses more on giving thanks to the spirit of their ancestors. At the same time, it's falls on the brightest full moon of the year. This means that all the fruits, vegetables, and other crops are at their ripest. Thus, it's the best time to harvest. Koreans all go home to their parents or elder's house, dress up formally, eat and pay respect to their ancestor's graves. So it's kind of like Thanksgiving day and All Soul's Day combined. Happy Chuseok everybody!

The Girl Group That Started This Obsession
It was one Friday afternoon on the month of either June or July, 2011. I was flipping through my television channels, when I stumbled upon KBS World. On air was the popular show called 'Music Bank'. I was drawn to the catchy beat but more so on the looks of the four ladies on my screen. I have a thing for ladies with sleet eyes. But what really got me to stop flipping and just plain watch was their choreography, specially during the chorus of the song. Check it out:
