It’s been reported that KPOP singer Son Dambi has been attached to the US film “Hype Nation”. While she has yet to hit the “A-List” in Korea, her dancing abilities have given her the opportunity to have a role in a film centered around the very subject. Everything I’ve seen about the movie so far screams its going to be terrible.
Here’s the synopsis from imdb:
Set against the bright neon lit streets of Seoul South Korea, the Mach 1 B-Boy battle of the year. Ryan and Kevin (b2k) and their crew from Los Angeles are hired by the U.S. Interpool to be matched up against the notorious Gambler Crew from South Korea, known to the b-boy world as the best of the best. Their mission is to gather information about Tony Kai (Cary Tagawa) an “ex yakuza” member who controls the Asian underworld in the United States. Tony Kai is in South Korea planning a worldwide monopoly on drugs, sex, and gamling. Ryan and Kevin struggle as they go deeper into the Asian underworld. Ryan falls for a beautiful Korean girl named Esther who happens to be the sister of “Kicker” the leader of the mafia ran Gamblers crew. Their love is put to the test as the rivarly between the two crews escalate. As reality sets in, the crew from LA is no match against the world champion Gamblers crew in the Mach 1 competition. Ryan, Kevin and the crew go into hiding where they meet underground b-boy legend “Chubbs”, and together they prepare for an against all odds battle against Tony Kai, Kicker and the Gambler crew.
