Sometimes, the treadmill at the gym can get really tedious. I generally spend an hour on it, sometimes a little longer if the mood strikes me and I have the time to spare. I usually have my headphones plugged into my iPod, which is lying next to the control panel, while the TV is tuned either to Channel V Korea or KMTV. If a video strikes my interest visually, I’ll usually switch the headphones over to listen. Even with all of that, minutes can sometimes pass slowly.
Today, Channel V played three videos back-to-back that absorbed my interest sufficiently that I forgot to switch the headphones over to listen to them. And ten minutes passed before I knew it.
First up was the latest video from Lee Hyo Ri. I hate to be juvenile, but this woman is hot. It takes a monumental effort to feign disinterest when I’m with my wife and Hyo Ri comes into view. And she’s everywhere: billboards, subway and bus ads, magazines, TV shows, TV commercials, music videos… Everywhere you look, Hyo Ri is there. Though I can’t say that I’m tired of seeing her. Now that I’ve heard actuallyheard this song, I’m not too crazy about it. But I don’t mind watching the video with the mute button pressed!
Next up was Seo In Young’s video for ‘Cinderella’. She’s part of the group Jewelry, whose video ‘One More Time’ I blogged some time ago (they’ve got a more recent one that I’ll blog later). I didn’t realize she was doing solo work. I’m not particularly wild about her, but I’d be lying if I said that my eyes weren’t locked on the TV while this video was on.
And finally, there was Uhm Jung Hwa’s video ‘Disco’. It’s hard to believe she’s almost 40. She has certainly aged well. I think she’s more attractive now than she was a decade ago.
A nice way to forget I’m on the treadmill!
