How To Do The Gangnam Style Dance

In the past decade, Asian culture has slowly seeped onto a global stage. Gangnam Style Psy was one of the first memes that comes to mind when I think back. It was so overplayed that I couldn't stand it for a while. I also think that I didn't know it was Korean when it came out. It was just another new internet meme to me. 

Today, the rise in popular Asian musicians and idols has skyrocketed. Sometimes, it's impossible to scroll through Twitter without seeing some edit about a Korean idol. It's impossible to ignore the popularity of these groups. The music videos that were chosen this week also showed that some of these groups, like BTS and BLACKPINK, have popular US musicians in their songs as well. The fanbase for these groups has exploded, creating more possibilities for mixing different cultures in music or film.

Despite the easy access we have to documenting our daily lives, it is difficult to find stories that are as open to the idea of documenting the life of the individual in its rawest form.  In aka Don Bonus , the filmmaker is not afraid of discussing his own emotions of loneliness, grief, frustration, and fear. He describes his feelings to us, while explaining where those feelings are stemming from. He does this openly and without judgement, but the audience understands that he may not share these feelings and emotions to the people that he interacts with in his daily life. It is a venting piece, a piece of documentation as well as a work of art.  Despite our technological connections to other people, there is always the question of an online persona. Even though people want to share their lives with others, there is a disconnect t...
