Korean Pop isn’t “kawaii” except for Japan

K-Pop unit T-ara’s 2009 video for the song “Bo Peep Bo Peep” centered around a member of the girl group going to a club and hooking up with a guy in the bathroom, an elevator, and his apartment. The Japanese clip, in advance of T-ara’s official Japanese debut later this month, finds the members wearing cat ears and playing un-erotically with one another: the sexuality of the original replaced with Hello-Kitty-approved cuteness.
