Hyunmo Kim, aka H.J. Freaks is an awesome south korean bassist with tons of cover music videos mostly from Anime music…
(Hatsune Miku – Dunno the song title)

And I’m posting him here to make a prejudice test on all of you! xD

Yes, the thing is: Most of his videos have him playing while crossdressing.
Can you take it?
(Chobits – Let me Be with You)

It’s a bit weird, yes, but you can’t discard how good a bass player he is only because he’s dressing like that…
(K-on Cagayake! Girls)

Still, I just know from reading comments, and by knowing our culture that most people won’t even watch the video because their own prejudices and taboos about crossdressing.
So, for those of you who can’t overcome it, I also picked some videos with him playing without crossdressing (or almost)…
(Kotoko – Sakuranbo Kiss)

I’ll ask you to reflect on those matters though…
While watching the more “normal” videos, consider if you never watched the crossdressing ones before, would you say he’s an awesome player before AND after, or would your own prejudices discard him as a good musician and view only as a weird person?
(Suzumiya Haruhi – Hare Hare Yukai)

For those who are not much into anime music, here are some other good examples on standard music:
(Judas Priest – Painkiller)

I personally thing that not only he’s a great bassist, but it’s also awesome and very daring what he’s doing on his videos…
(Iron Maiden – Aces High)

Lots of fans who first saw his videos started reflecting about the prejudices we have, judging people only because of the way they dress and other personal tastes, overlooking real talent and other abilities.
(Iron Maiden – The Trooper)

Anyways, for those who liked his videos, here’s H.J.Freaks YouTube profile.
