“So you think they can break dance?”
There’s a really interesting piece by Jeff Chang on salon.com called, So you think they can break dance?” It’s all about the Korean B-boys a la Planet B-Boy, why hip-hop culture resonates with them, and the evolution of B-boy culture in Korea. It’s pretty interesting, especially considering that there are Korean Americans (the post-Sa-I-Gu generation Chang calls them) who are part of this movement.
Check it out!! (Though, you’ll have to wait through the salon.com ad.)

excited to watch this, will wait until i’m not at work.
it’s interesting because it’s common knowledge to us that a lot of bboys and dancers in general are asian right, but to non-asian folks, i think they assume that asian bboys are rare. turntablists as well.
btw, it’s an article that you can read at work. :p
