I dunno if I could call this an interview since it’s literally 5 questions but regardless here it is: 1) What’s it like to being a pop star/famous in Korea? “Well, I definitely feel a difference when I’m here in the States and when I’m back home. It’s a difficult lifestyle and a lot more […]
Read More BoA interviews w/ CosmoGirlParodies can be a very hit or miss effort but Patty Yu’s ‘Bao Eat You Up’ song straddles the line between both. There are some moments of sheer genius here. All I can say is I just may like this more than the original. Look out BoA! Source: ChannelAPA
Read More Just ‘Cause: Patty Yu – Bao Eat You Up (BoA Parody)Just as promised a few weeks back, BoA has released her newest MV for the single ‘Energetic’. I thought the video was OK. Better than ‘Eat You Up‘ but not as interesting as ‘I Did It For Love‘. Though I will say BoA’s dancing is fierce. I wasn’t too crazy about this song but its […]

Read More BoA x Akon for Japanese ExclusiveThe Korea Herald had an interesting piece about the flock of KPOP singers attempting to break through the US market. It’s a great, short read and I’ll quote the entire article after the break just in case the page is ever removed. Although nothing is really shocking about what’s written, it poses some good questions […]
Read More The Korea Herald Op-Ed on Korean/US CrossoversARW recently had a post up about m-flo’s 10 yr anniversary and it made me stop in my tracks to realize its been a decade since their debut. 10 flippin’ years. If you don’t already know who m-flo is then check wikipedia cause there is just too much to explain. Long story short they are one of […]
Read More Lookin’ Back: 10 years of m-floAccording to an post at Ningin, the music video for BoA‘s next single ‘Energetic’ will be released in approximately 3 weeks, says producer Sean Garrett. If you don’t mind shaky camera work and distorted audio, check out BoA’s performance of the song at SF’s Pride 2009 event a couple weeks back.
Read More BoA’s MV for Energetic to be released in 3 weeksWith so many Asian artists attempting to cross over to the US music industry this year (BoA, Wonder Girls, Se7en, Utada Hikaru, etc), it goes without question that increased public awareness also brings increased scrutiny. Across the board it seems like a lot of people are commenting on how (fill in the name of an Asian artist here) […]
