This LA girl has been on a K-pop kick lately. Never mind that I know only a couple of words in Korean, like 여보세요 (Saying “Hello” on the phone), 불고기 (“Bulgogi.” Comes super handy during KBBQ ), and 사랑해요. (“I ♥ you”) I’m a sucker for catchy tunes and cutesy/intricate dance routines.
My latest guilty pleasure: watching videos of SNSD (aka Girls’ Generation) on Youtube. They are a super cute and popular girl group who also recently infiltrated the Japanese market. SNSD first caught me at Gee. I then moved on to Genie and checked out Chocolate Love, which features a product placement for LG. When I was done with that, I clicked onto Oh and I was caught off guard with what I saw:

Uhhh…how did a Hawkeye football helmet get into an SNSD music video?
Even Yoona’s rocking the black and gold:
Alright, I know this is old news, but it makes me wonder what the university trademark folks thought of this video when it came out. Just something fun to think about!

They probably never even knew the icons were being used.
