Worst Olympics Closing Ceremony Ever? Did the amazing country that gave us a resoundingly successful Olympics and that has given us some of the most deeply soulful art and music also give us an utterly soul-less, lifeless, talent-less Olympics closing ceremony? Did they actually hire a hundred geomungo players and ask them to play the same two notes over and over for five minutes, and then bring on a performer described as an icon of rapping, singing, and dancing, but who for some reason did none of the above, choosing instead to simply repeat "Where my bad girls at" several thousand times, and then offer us a singer who lip-synced a vocal performance so auto-tuned it sounded like a singing robot slowly and agonizingly forced through a meat grinder, and then conclude with a boy band that seemed to have been manufactured by producers and choreographers who discovered pop music in the 1990s and have dedicated themselves since then to churning out watered down copies of watered down copies of watered down copies of whatever it was they heard twenty years ago that impressed them, but that most of us have tried hard since the 90s to forgive ourselves for and forget? The only exception to all the above was actual artist and vocalist Jang Sa Ik. Perhaps a more important question than whether this was the worst Olympics closing ceremony ever, might be: "Is Korea losing its soul?" Has the focus on being the world's leader in technology and plastic surgery turned the home of han and its heart-breakingly beautiful art into a country of mind-numbingly vacuous though technologically impressive light shows adorning surgically altered "pretty" faces? This question comes from someone who loves Korea more than anyone on Earth, and was truly saddened to see its great history and talent so grossly misrepresented by tone deaf decision makers who hear music not with their ears but with cheaply-sequined eyes, and who feel not with their hearts but with tastes determined by product placement studies of twelve-year-olds? Maybe I should just chill and be happy to see that America isn't the only country that has recently fallen victim to the idolization of talent-less icons. But I won't give up on my beloved second home. I love you Korea! I know you could have done better. I am confident that, after the deserving celebration is over, you will do some soul searching and give consideration to these questions, and you will show the world the deep beauty that you are really made of.

마지막 중국 광고 느낌 분위기가 어째 이상하다 했더니 중국 광고였네 .. 촌스럽고 약간어색한 문화느낌이 들더니
6.37 song? Please anyone?
xpolakx I am the best 2NE1
솔직히 구성이 억망이였다 가수가 나빳다기보다 감독이 연출이나 스토리 등이 우리나라를 담아내기엔 부족했고 경기장도 콘서트 경기장 같이 생겼고 너무작아서 웅장함이 없다
폐막식은 진짜 별로였음
폐막식에 엑소 등장은 최악 중의 최악이었다.
어떻게 엑소 같은 애들을 끼워넣을 생각을 했을까?
차라리 소향이나 송소희 같은 훌륭한 가수도 많은데...
차라리 그냥 그시간에 저스트절크 춤추는걸로 했으면 완벽했을텐데ㅠㅠ
돈도 다른 올림픽 1/10밖에 안 주고 그나마도 저 건물 짓는 데 다 써서 무대마다 텅텅 비어 있네.

런던올림픽개회식수준을 바라는 건 전혀아닌데 난타공연감독이라 그런지 감성적면이 부족하고 참신함이 없다 . 너무 실망스럽다..꼬마기타연주자컨셉도 별로고 섭외한 가수들 안목이 심하다. 립씽크면 차라리 보아나 hot 코요테가 낫겠다 봉준호처럼 상업적으로 세계적으로 인정받는 영화감독이 했었어야했다.

개폐막 감독은 진짜 최악 중 최악이였다..카메라워크도 엉망이고 좋은감독 많을텐데 왜 저딴 놈 써가꼬 단 한번뿐인 개폐막을 망작을 만드나 인천아시안게임이 훨씬 나았다 차라리 어휴
미래에서 왔습니다만 최악중 최악이 새로 경신 되었습니다..

I'll keep in mind your sincere love and expectation.
But it was not gayageum. It was geomungo.
Thanks very much. I appreciate that.

Olympics are more for young people than old people. And this was excellent. I am "old" and I loved it. I do not understand the negativity here.
이거 뭐임? 겁나 이상해
