Did you know that “Princess” is U.S. hip hop artist, Ciara’s middle name? Yep. The energetic artist is in Seoul for her concert on October 19th, 2007 (yes, that’s tonight and I will not be there!). A press conference was held at the ultra posh W hotel yesterday. Ciara spoke a few basic words in Korean? “annyeong-ha-sae-yo” and “Gamsahabnida.” And in between those words, she told the press that her favorite artists are Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson and Prince. She also enjoys Korean bbq as well as good food (who doesn’t?). She also expressed her wish to come back to Korea “more and more”. I guess she doesn’t realize that many of the learned people in Korea speak English fluently.
This is Ciara’s first trip to Seoul
Check out the press conference clip here.
Sorry, we had to repost since we kept having trouble attaching the pics so all the comments are gone…. thanks for all those who commented on the first post ^^
there goes the article!
She’s kind of ugly.
yuck. why does she have to show us her ass?
her boots are kind of odd (to me at least) they look like her feet are in mini straight jackets!
Don’t hate people!! lol
Ciara is fine and Big Bang are everywhere!!

U have a weird way of jumping into conclusion. That comment was really uncalled for…
@ geekgirl: she’s not showing her ass. that’s just a backward pose. get over it. many korean stars also do that pose.
ciara is cool and pretty; however, i must admit that these pics do not do her justice. the make-up is pretty bad. she needs to fire her make-up artist.
i hope the concert goes well for her.
and yay! more american artists are branching out and having concerts in korea! when is alicia keys going? she’s so awesome.
ciara looks really ugly in these pictures @_@… but hey! who wouldnt wanna go to S.Korea? seems fun
!
Right, Narae. I mean, maybe the girl was just plain nervous? After all, she’s visiting a country whose people, for the most part, are not very open to…’others’. I have a dream that one day, Korea will wake up and join the rest of the world. *sigh*
Boy I swear the way some people on this message board speak you’ll make anybody hate South Korea. Ciara is just fine and she is a beautiful lady. Also Lana if you’re waiting for South Korea to wake up you’ll be waiting a long time. It doesnt make sense to be so technologically advanced yet so cultural stagnant when dealing with ‘others’ I mean come on people this is not 1707 nor Confucios times.
unlike another reader who responded earlier, i actutally like the conclusion! the “more and more” part is pretty witty i’d say.. anyway love the way u guys’ve been reporting all things korean so keep up the great work!!
@ Geekgirl…you’re an idiot. What’s the difference in her backpose and the backposes of so many Korean women? Just look at the many photos from the recent and past awards and other events here. Is it maybe, perhaps…you have no ass?
@iloveivy
She’s still showing her ass. “Backward pose” or not.
@justme
No need to call people idiots. So you love Ciara. Who cares? I can like who I like, and you can like who you like. If you can make your comments, I can make mine. Don’t hate. Poser.
geekgirl, i don’t see you saying whne the korean women do it they are showing thier asses, You’re just being… racist,
But anyway, I love Ciara and I wish her success at her concert.
And another thing if S.Korea don’t open up to “others” they might as well forget about us opening up to them.
@Raye
Racist? No, I’m not, but that photo is just blatant. Should I mention it EVERYTIME someone sticks their ass out? I could if you want me to.
It’s true that I don’t like Ciara’s music. But to each his/her own. That doesn’t exactly make one racist.
“Boy I swear the way some people on this message board speak you’ll make anybody hate South Korea. Ciara is just fine and she is a beautiful lady.”
I agree….
and whoever says Ciara’s ugly… I dare you to post a pic up of urself… grab and mike and do what she does.. she has a million times more talent than you haters… and that’s why she’s a star, while all you haters can do is sit on your lazy fat ass and type crap about celebrity.
“I guess she doesn’t realize that many of the learned people in Korea speak English fluently”
I’ve been to Korea before.. and seriously I could count the people who “supposedly” speaks English fluently… even the people working in the Hotel I stayed at (5 star International hotel) couldn’t carry on a fluent conversation in English.
Geekgirl
Does this have to do with you not liking Ciara’s music. I wouldnt call it racist but doing a backside pose whats wrong with that if DBSK, Super Junior,FT Island, SG Wanabe would people be in such amazement or would they just laugh it off as cute and sweet. Also I dont think Ciara is concerned with the fact people dont like her music as she doesnt perform for them just the people that do and she gets paid to do it. Everybody should be so blessed.
Everybody has their own opinon right? Ciara is really pretty, but for some reason i don’t like these pictures i think it maybe her hair color, the black was working for her, and yes the boots are kind of odd ( i do agree with Teuki~Chunsa Jini on that one)
If you think that people saying things like this are bad you should take a look a http://www.bossip.com then you will see something like this is mild compared to what is being said here
ciara is sexaaaaay. woot woot.
@dwilliams
I guess you’re right. I really don’t care for her music. I’m not a fan of people showing their butts, either. It doesn’t matter who it is … to me, showing your backside to someone is a bit disrespectful, sort of like in a “talk to the hand” type of way.
Sure there are people who like her music. I’m just not one of them. Just my taste and opinion .. just like everyone else has their own tastes and opinions.
Really? As in saying many educated Korean folks can speak English fluently?
haha i think it’s pretty cute how ciara is getting all nice and interested in korea. it’s a good cultural exchange, even if it gets weird at times <3
she looks cute
love her jacket.
ciara has skills. seriously she does. and no one can do it like her. the girl has killer moves and sing at the same time.
geekgirl u just a hater. admit it. bro if u dont like Ciara that much why are you even looking at her pics. n as for the backside thing bitch this is 2007 if that is not sexy but disrespectful to you then you need to keep your ass at home and off the computer. n who ever published this is a hater as well. fuck you bitch if not going. jus one more extra spot for a fan. she took the time learn the damn language to connect with i guess the few fans she has in korea. everyday it seems like haters are outgrowing hustlers
HATERS > hustlers
its an shame really
@ Geekgirl, just keep replying to everyone’s post, the more you type the more you prove I am correct….you’re an idiot. Just keep typing.
yeah ciara does need help with make up!>.<
But I hope she had fun down in seoul!
awwwwwww geekgirl is getting bashed….. :p
whatever.
anyways ciara is still cool showing her backside or not.
