S. Korea seeks to boost ties with ASEAN
Wednesday, May 20, 2009
OMGOMGOMGOMG! Look who is in the National Newspapers, THE STRAITS TIMES.
Anyway, its some article about how S.Korea wants to use Kpop as a platform to boost ties with us ASEAN countries. And I quote"They don't know me, but they know the names of all the korean actors." says A cambodian minister. And they also hold quotes from Super Junior's Leeteuk and SNSD's Tiffany.
Leeteuk says: "When we have concerts in other countries, we try to learn their language. It's not impossible to overcome the language barrier."
Tiffany says: "We are here to promote music and music is universally felt by everybody, so I think its okay as long as we sing with our hearts."
The important part as I see is this " South Korea and Singapore, he added, could also look at forming joint ventures to explore new markets - a topic likely to be discussed when leaders from the two nations meet for next month's summit."
I hope they see it fit to discuss using KPOP to generate more interest in the Korean market. And then, Unusual will see why they were wrong to deny my request to bring TVXQ or Super Junior to Singapore. Laugh in their faces, and rush to buy the concert tickets.
I love the fact that Channel U (free to air television channel) is going to air Boys Over Flowers. Hopefully, our ministers and their family will watch and get addicted to the show (like all other mortals I known), love their characters(eg, irresistable JunPyo with curly hair and JiHoo) and eventually create some campaign to promote KPOP! Good example: I mean, the sales of Samsung phones will surely shoot up cause F3 are endorsing it I swear, hence increasing exports of korean goods to Singapore. Singapore trade goes up, consumersim is boosted and its a win-win situation for Singapore and S.Korea.
Maybe finally finally, we can have a SMTOWN love in SINGAPORE. Or maybe they will create some Korean Festival again(this time more successful than the previous one) and bring in SNSD, Super Junior, SS501 etc.) If anyone can create this hype and give joy to all us KPOP fans in Singapore, its our government.
And The Straits Time features Wonder Girls with their hit Nobody on Sunday for all the hype the song is generating everywhere. I mean Nobody was so long ago, is the rest of the world not into Gee? Anyway the point is, I hope the media, the government, companies and everyone else in Singapore can finally understand and note that Korean Pop is dominating the music industry now. So can they hurry up and catch up with the rest of the world? Thailand and Malaysia are already holding these Kpop concerts and what do we Singaporeans have? A tiny Kpop night which doesnt even sell tickets. Come on, bring some more kpop stars to Singapore too(besides Seo In Young)!
P/s: This is such an insightful article compared to the whole Nobody article.

"I grew 20cm in a year by drinking banana milk." - Nana, After School/Orange Caramel
News Asia, August 2010
"Yubin takes in everything. Because of that, I would always whine and let my anger out on her, saying that I’m tired. She would always be understanding, so I’m sorry.” - YeEun, Wonder Girls
Mnet Made in Wonder Girls, October 2010
"The music of ‘Love Light’ was written some time ago. When I thought of you (Seohyun), I started to put in the lyrics for the song. For the rap part, I thought of SNSD’s ‘Tell Me Your Wish’ and that was how ‘I’m genie for you girl’ came about.” - YongHwa, C.N Blue
Confession to Seohyun (SNSD) on MBC's WGM, 9 October 2010
"I really thought you were a tree."- Leeteuk, Super Junior
in response to Eunhyuk wearing brown from head to toe during their trainee days; KBS Sukira Radio, 20 October 2010
“I think, not just Thai people, but anybody could be in my spot. Because I started below zero, you know; I had no singing background, no dancing, nothing. I think it's a matter of how hard you work and how much you want it.”
-Nickhun, 2PM
(Nichkhun: The 'shy little boy' turned K-Pop sensation, CNNgo, 8 November 2010)
“If there’s one thing we genuinely wish for, it’s for all nine of our SNSD members to go together until the end.”
-Girls' Generation
(In an interview after winning Golden Disk Daesang awards, Daily Sports News
, 9 December 2010)
“Minho hyung has big eyes, well-defined features, and good style. So I thought he was not a Korean (laugh). He stuttered when he talked to me maybe because he’s introverted, so I thought he’s younger than me. Key hyung made a strong impression from the beginning for his showy fashion (laugh).”
-Taemin, SHINee
(Japanese Magazine ORISUTA,June 2011)
“My baby tummy which was a patent of mine disappeared suddenly one day. Our fans said my tummy then was cute, but where has it gone?”
-Sungyeol,INFINITE
(INKIGAYO MAGAZINE,August 2011)
“We don’t really think of ourselves as rivals with SNSD. There are things they can do, and we have things we can do… I hope each can become a group that can be a source of strength and consolation for many people.”
-SunYe,Wonder Girls
(MBN INTERVIEW,November 2011)
