Get rid of those pants, Seotaji

20080801_seotaeji

Seotaji is back!

I totally have respect for the man. Seotaji is one of the very few true and original artists in Korea. But a big but, his tight parachute plastic (and shiny) black pants with white Adidas sneakers need to be stripped off of him and thrown in the trash. That’s an eyesore but not nearly as bad as the clear plastic pants worn by JYP.

Besides his less-than-questionable fashion sense, the 36 year old rock star just released his eagerly anticipated 8th album, “SEOTAIJI 8TH ATOMOS PART MOA” on July 29th 2008 after 4.5 years of rumors and speculation.

Since its release, all 100 thousand copies of the new album have been sold out. An additional 50 thousand copies will be re-printed.

In the meantime, Seotaji taped the MBC “Comeback Special” on July 31st that will air on MBC on August 15th. And on August 15th, Seotaji will make a live comeback at the “Eerie Taiji People Festival (ETPFEST)” in Jamsil Stadium. Heavy metal star Marilyn Manson, American alternative rock group Death Cab for Cutie and Japanese rock band Dragon Ash will also perform at the festival.

Tickets are 132,000 won.

  6. 6 Seri August 1, 2008 at 2:36 am

    cant wait however if his pants were less shiney and he picked a different blazer4 it coulda worked huhuhu ^^

  7. 7 asianromance August 1, 2008 at 2:39 am

    he probably thinks it’s still the early 90s. but then i can’t blame him for wearing those pants when younger artists are wearing equally worse outfits.

  8. 8 maaya August 1, 2008 at 2:40 am

    AAHHHH!! I want to go to ETPFEST D:

  9. 9 wonderbang August 1, 2008 at 2:42 am

  11. 11 Daniel K August 1, 2008 at 2:55 am

    Somewhere, MC Hammer is saying “I told you so”.

  12. 13 Mel August 1, 2008 at 4:06 am

  19. 20 Fleep August 1, 2008 at 6:44 am

    i love his new songs

  20. 21 xiaojj August 1, 2008 at 7:08 am

  21. 22 valski August 1, 2008 at 7:37 am

    just because those pants worked for mc hammer doesn’t mean it’ll work for you seo taiji. oh wait, it didn’t work for mc hammer either.

    just watch, this’ll be the new trend on the streets of seoul

  22. 23 irees August 1, 2008 at 7:49 am

    DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE??! NIIIICE!

    His pants remind me of a black version of JYP’s red pants and Andre Kim’s white pants… as if it was necessary to describe the color of Andre Kim’s pants.

  23. 24 cstina86 August 1, 2008 at 8:19 am

    death cab in korea??? wow, who would have thought?

  24. 25 BKJSuh August 1, 2008 at 8:27 am

    His new single is epic.

  25. 26 Sevit August 1, 2008 at 8:51 am

    a new low for korean fashion (which is pretty bad as it is atm sadly)

  26. 27 miyuki August 1, 2008 at 9:04 am

  27. 28 Beckbeck August 1, 2008 at 10:05 am

    I agree. As much as I love Seo Taiji, he’s gotta lose the pants ahaha :P

  28. 29 TVXQBBLOVE August 1, 2008 at 11:04 am

  29. 30 shinta August 1, 2008 at 11:22 am

  33. 34 De3 August 1, 2008 at 12:45 pm

    It makes his legs look short(er?)…
    at least it isn’t see through??
    He’s 36?!?! I thought he was like 29 or sumthin

  34. 35 Dovey August 1, 2008 at 1:46 pm

    Those look like they belong in a videogame and not on someone in real life. XD

  35. 36 BIGinJapan August 1, 2008 at 2:37 pm

    daamm… how does he look so young

  36. 37 young taiji August 1, 2008 at 3:21 pm

    he lost some weight and spiffed up the hair/skin before coming back. you can see his puffier, older face in the x’mas tribute concert last year — looking every bit of his 36 years!

  37. 38 SP August 1, 2008 at 4:24 pm

    That’s some ugly pants!!!

  38. 39 erihae August 1, 2008 at 5:51 pm

  39. 40 tranling August 1, 2008 at 6:52 pm

    the man sure doesn’t age at all !!! love him and his music and come on ! he doesn’t look THAT bad

  40. 41 HELLyea August 1, 2008 at 9:27 pm

    wow..nice pants!!XD i would love to have one of those. Fits perfectly with my over-sized thighsXD

    i heard that The Used would be there too. Death cab for cutie, The Used, Marilyn Manson, etc…if anyone ditches these concert for some teeny boppers, i’ll call them either dumb or insane. I would kill just to watch them perform live.

  41. 42 avionne August 1, 2008 at 11:11 pm

    What’s really going on with those pants..he would’ve looked just fine if it wasn’t for those pants..it makes him look kind of weird actually.

  43. 44 Tenderly August 2, 2008 at 4:56 am

    He’s hot. The pants…not so much, although I’m sure he’s sweating in them.

  44. 45 Korean Ajusshi August 2, 2008 at 5:37 am
