Read More Thai Leaks “One Way Trip” & “I’m Going Crazy” from The Statement Mixtape [Free DL]AllKPop reported this morning that Korean R&B star Wheesung is in plans to debut here in the states, linking up with Darkchild, the producer behind Se7en’s single ‘Girls’.

Read More Two Cents: All Accents Are Not Created EqualAccording to AllKPOP, Se7en‘s video for ‘Girls’ ft Lil Kim will premiere tomorrow on BET’s 106 & Park.
