i just want to say that this is my opinion, i don't mean to harm and/or offend anyone, please read to the end before commenting, heh.

am i the only one who isn't so excited that kpop won fifa's poll on twitter about the song they are going to play in the closing of the world cup? i don't know, i feel like, it's a world cup, a big football event in the world. i'm not saying that kpop songs are too underrated that they don't deserve to be played in the world cup, no. but it's about football and the game itself. the songs have nothing to do with football. for something that has been going for more than 80 years, that only happens once in 4 years, world cup is surely waited. and using a song that doesn't even relate to football in any way for the closing,,, i don't know, would anyone be interested? did those who voted also watch the matches from the very beginning that they knew what they did to vote?

am i the only one who feels this because i watch football?

promoting kpop worldwide isn't wrong. it's probably one of the things that most of kpop agencies would do, to promote their artists. but in this kind of event, is it the right thing to do? fifa put the songs in the options because they're requested. but really? in world cup? did they expect the sport experts, former coaches, commentators, professional former football players, football supporters all around the world to dance to a love song and/or a song that has nothing to do with football? ah, if the song was something like shakira's famous "waka waka eh eh" song or knaan's "waving flag", it would have been better. ah, i missed world cup 2010.

because of the poll, i heard that the voters literally did everything to win it, like making many twitter accounts only to vote. it ended up as if it was a war; "my fandom is the greatest, the world deserves to hear it." i don't know, man, i feel like it's too much. if the poll was run by mnet, billboard, melon, any other music awards, it would have been fine since it's about music itself. but world cup, it's about football. the closing song should be about football too, shouldn't it?

eep, i never thought that i would end up writing that long. i hope this rant doesn't hurt anyone since i only want to share my opinion. i watch world cup, i love football even though my favorite team was eliminated, so that's why this is getting my attention
