Excited
I was originally going to title this post “Perez Hilton likes Underage Korean Girls.” BAM! How is that for yellow journalism?
But contrary to that headline, Perez Hilton, the hardest working person in gossip business, recently posted about “How The Koreans Do it”, the “Koreans” referencing the girl-group Wonder Girls and their newest video called “Nobody But You”. (Side note: the comment section of this particular Perez Hilton post has some interesting views, if you know what I mean…)
(The song starts around the 2:00 mark.)
In the far far away land that is Korea, the Wonder Girls are probably the most popular music act in the country. They were responsible for the “Tell Me Craze” in which they took the whole southern peninsula of Korea by storm. The whole country was doing the “Tell me Dance” — think of it as the Soulja Boy dance, except in Korea EVERYBODY was doing it: police officers, teachers, flight attendants, students, body builders, infants.
Now this is where I was going digress into the plethora of Korean artists that are trying to enter the American music market, including the recent announcement of BoA’s decision to adventure into the USA, and dissect and analyze each artists’ chances… but since no one in the United States care, including me, I wont do that. Instead, this post is just an excuse to post pics of Yoobin from the Wonder Girls. Who by the way is smoking hot.

When is his new album dropping? and does anyone have audio from the Coachella
ive been seeing a fair bit of asians trying to break into the usa music scene. i guess its very new. just like how the asians are into hollywood movies. its not the best now even, but it has improved leaps!
just to flip it, the same thing about hollywood movies - wanting to enter the huge china market & even the korean market (with the lifting of the quota).
so far, hollywood has emerged winner in its music going into all over asia, whether or not the natives understand 'engrish'.
and sad to say, the same thing cant be said for asia-to hollywood... for the obstacle about asia to hollywood is the language barrier. this is a period they will try. if they succeed good (i think they will, but years years later).
just my 2 cents worth.
Sounds like a tune from a B movie soundtrack. The melody is banal.
Jun, had I known I would've tried my hardest to find you a pink heart balloon when they were in LA in May. :-P
Soo Young's fiesty ... she's cool.

YURI JJANG!!!
Cheon Sang Ji Hee Jjang! ... *wave pink balloons*
Whoops ... wrong fanbase ... :-P
I'm thinking JYP paid Perez because the single was 'leaked' not a day before Perez blogged about it.
What you should do is listen to Girl's Generation sing "Tell Me" ... what a difference in skills. Also, there are 9 girls to salivate over than the measly 5 Wonder Girls has to offer.
lol, us koreans cannot pronounce our Rs...
and dude...

Holy SHIT, BoA is coming out with an English single? I was a HUGE BoA fan a couple of years back, and totally cringed when she did a couple of really really bad English song. (There was one song I played for a friend where she butchered the line "All the Girls" as "ARR DE GURRS" and my friends gave me shit for the next three months.)
