I did a survey in the Allkpop forums, because I have no life.
I thought it might be nice to reprint here as a nice introduction to my worldview and taste in k-pop. Enjoy. Or not. I’m pretty sure these weren’t the kind of answers the OP was fishing for. 1. Who was...

G-Dragon’s cunty hat and why you shouldn’t be a little bitch about it.
