Not that I like K pop any more than J pop but if they're happy why not. Sure better than a fistfight!

The Japanese team have to fight back - let them pair up with AKB48.

Winter is coming and the night is full of terrors. North and South Korea should stop fighting and reunite.

Hmmmm.....  another manifestation of just how childish this whole thing is.  but the consequences of a divided Korea are awful.

As much as I detest K-pop, or any pop, I'll gladly take that over nuclear war any day.

K pop has borrowed from Western soul R&B grooves, combined with creative modern dance and hip hop choreography, very attractive boys and girls and a language that is perfect for the genre - all win-win.

Great, I'm glad they are dancing to K-pop in the change rooms! Now, what to do about the North's nukes and millions of enslaved and tortured Koreans? No amount of "smile diplomacy" will save the North from the solution to that

Such fraternization may appear all rosy and fuzzy, but it’d be foolish to forget that for NK, “reunification” means the entire Peninsula under rule of the Kims.

The Christmas truce of 1914 was also a warm gesture. But three days later they were back to killing each other.

One of the South's youngest players, 19-year-old forward Choi Ji-yeon, said that when she had first met players from the North at a competition four years ago, they had given her and her teammates the cold shoulder. Now she calls them sisters.

Would they return back to cold shoulders the moment the Olympics is over
