When my daughters were adolescents they got into manga and anime and Pokémon and YuGiOh. They had Tamagotchi virtual pets that died untimely but completely predictable deaths, and for awhile our youngest wouldn't let us go to the grocery store without bringing home Pocky. Their musical tastes were dominated by boy bands and girl groups and Disney variants, and they each had their flirtations with A-pop. I was reminded of all this while looking for a song about Monday on YouTube and stumbling across this contemporary cultural document. So to kick off my guest week here’s some new Seoul music, because I don't mind a little sugar-frosted K-Pop for breakfast. How about you?

YuGiOh is a pet peeve. I am curmudgeonly annoyed that my kid watches cartoons about other people playing card games. It doesn't help my mood that the show's utter lack of creativity makes Pokémon look artistic by comparison. I'm waiting to see the light on that one.
And then there are the cards...everywhere.
When I'm at home, I have a limit on Lego programming (Chima, Ninjago): No more than one episode a day.
Sounds like the reasons are similar to your distaste with YuGiOh.
I do recall that the merchandising was pretty relentless, but I always like the anime stuff they watched because I learned to love the style watching Speed Racer as a kid.
This song...was...hmm...
