Fashion disaster and ex G.O.D. member Sohn Ho Young was having difficulty finding a wider audience in the motherland so he was on the lookout for a less competitive playing field. And that’s how he decided to try out Thailand. Many were doubtful of Sohn’s succeeding in the land of the friendly smiles, but he proved everybody wrong after his showcase. Apparently, Thai teenagers were infatuated with Sohn’s abs and charisma. And he was even punked by the local tv station, Titv. Maybe his exotic fashion sense and cheesy sense of humor will get him far in Thailand because it sure ain’t getting him anywhere in the land of morning glory.
| Can Sohn Ho Young make it in Thailand? 1) Hell Yeah 2) Hell No 3) Lets wait and see |
yay im first. lol
Oh, I heard about this. No offense, but why the hell Thailand? Not to bash, but what is there in Thailand? Maybe this is a trade. “Here, Korea, take Golf&Mike.” “Gee thanks, Thailand. Here, you can have Sohn Ho Young.”
If you ask me, that’s not much of a trade. At least SHY is better to look at and actually had a good career once. I can’t say much about him now, but dang. I wish g.o.d. would reunite, even if it’s just for one song.
I guess SHY knows he wouldn’t make it in Japan or China or Taiwan. Or even the Philippines. Good luck in Thailand, Hoi. Remember that us g.o.d. fans will still be waiting here in Korea.
^ hahaha!
haha. i like g.yoo’s statement. so funny. exactly why i come to popseoul. funny comments like his make my day x]
Every star in Korea seems to be going to Thailand these days…
Look at Bi, TVXQ, and now SHY. Seems like Thailand is an easy place to gain fans from.
come down to Singapore Hoi!!!!!!!!!please!!
He’ll make it in Thailand.
How hard is it to make it in Thailand?
If you’re foreign, they just eat you up.
I agree with lyn. They seem deprived of gorgeous men, so they just eat up the foreign ones.
Btw, hoiakoito, I’m a she. ;]
How exactly does one get punked by a tit? I’m up for it
Thai girls love Korean men. He will do well. He’s sexy as hell , has a nice voice, and killer amounts of charisma. Yeah he could always follow in Bi and SE7EN’s footsteps and try to make it in the US
Yeah Thai guys are pretty ugly. I would like him too.
hello, i’m Thai
and about this news, I don’t think he’s that popular in Thailand.(no offense). by the way he dance well i think^^
but i myself don’t like him and many people don’t know who is he or what is G.O.D….
He came here because D.R music, Korean Entertainment company, wanna co-operate with Thai company and do business here. and they will bring more their singers to Thai more in the future.
i agree wt Virus. and Thai girls dont know much who’s G.O.D.?? and im pretty sure.even if K-pop so hot&popular in Thai but we still consider & analyte. Possible or not !! in this case im not sure -_-” ’cause he alike Bi.. is he cloning??
stupid koreans… they still think that if someone’s popular in their little world then they’re popular in all of asia.. tsk tsk.. they even have the nerve to insult artists from other countries when they don’t even try to find out who they are first … plain IGNORANCE.
^yeah, it reminds me of the BIG MISTAKE they made at Korea’s 2007 Asia Song Festival. I can’t imagine any other country who didn’t know that THAILAND isn’t “TAI”…
errrr… lets put this as simple as possible>>>
I’m Thai and I don’t know him.
oh yeah….i dont even know who the hell is he (dont even eager to know
)
why is it always…KOREAN KOREAN KOREAN…
well…im not gonna be bias or anything..i would say that Some of korean singers are pretty good, but isnt this too much for overwhelming other asian nations by YOUR music and YOUR culture?
I’m Thai too.
Just want to let all you guys very clear about KPOP culture in THAILAND.
KPOP for Thai (girls) mean … TVXQ, Super Junior, Bi, Se7en, SNSD (maybe?), Wonder Girls (Maybe?) for others I don’t shout name.. I don’t count it on KPOP scene in Thailand. (TVXQ & Super Junior about 90% for KPOP scene)
For the G.O.D what the hell is that name ?(some Thai girls may ask)
Some of them don’t even know SG WANNABE (geeeezzz, how can be?)
The only money maker for IMPORTER is just those group that I mentioned.
Thanks for read.
But imagine all the Thai singers decided to go to Korea and spent minimal time in Thailand. Wouldn’t you be a bit bitter? Aside from F4 (JKVK?), it seems like it’s always Korean singers who are heading to other countries to ‘make it’ there. We want our singers, too.
i find it funny that there are so many comments complaining about “why is it always…KOREAN KOREAN KOREAN…”. um, excuse me, if you haven’t noticed yet, this WEBSITE is called popSEOUL.com. and yes, people, SEOUL is in KOREA. and this website is about KOREA.
that aside, i’m sure there are great pop singers in thailand, as there are great pop singers in every country. it just so happens that some artists have the luck and connections to branch out to other countries.
i find it funny that there is a comment that says: “why is it always…KOREAN KOREAN KOREAN…”. ummm, if you haven’t noticed, this website is called popSEOUL.com. and yes, SEOUL is in south korea. this website is related to anything KOREAN celebrity related. if you have a problem with that, why are you still here??

^oops. sorry for the double post
Why don’t they go to the Philippines? ^^ There are a lot of Koreans here.
I don’t think that korean singers are going to be successful here in the philippines. Even if there are many korean and filipino kpop fans it is still not enough to put them in the main stream… Only F4 was able to do that… Filipino music dominates the filipino charts. Even american singers are having a difficult time making their songs a hit here, and we can understand what they are saying and what the songs mean. What more if we can’t understand a word from the song… They wint be able to succeed.
Omg!!…i didn’t know either why many thai teen like TVXQ!..but for god’sake!…thai boy band,looked a lot more nicer..dress better,not looked feminine….moreover,i think thai star has less plastic surgery than korean star..
anyway,one thing have to admit,korean series was worth to watch,better than thai ser….it’s reasonalble,in term of acting,actor,actress and all prop.,korean drama invest more than thai,eventhough korean movie plot never been changed,but still can be able to enjoy them…what the heck!…we came to this page coz leaving a comment!!!what,s a big deal..korean or thai?!!!
well, i’m thai
i saw Son ho young in news so i just wonder who is he
then i found this site
but it seems more and more intense on nation things here
anyway, i admit that nowadays it’s korean fever in thailand
but as i can see, it’s not all the people of the whole country who involve in this fever…
i have korean friends too,, they also said that it’s just some group of people, usually teenagers, who’re crazy about their idols,, as same as in thailand
let say, it’s about business things
i think it’s not the idols who can decide where they want to go but it’s the company who tell them where to go
so let support them wherever they are ^o^/
lastly, i guess in every countries has both good looking and ugly people.. and normally, people admire good-looking, rite?! ;p
At my point,thai should recognize how to be revelry business among nabour country ,not only being serve by korea or japan.In order to do so,thaiself should more concern for higher standard,i belived many thai people has their quality to make,…consumer will turn to better serve.
thai teen may not meaning the whole…but somehow reflected korean’s influence…
Venus, you made absolutely no sense. At all.
What’s your point then?…
It’s just a business guyssssssss. To listen to difference type
of music or language isn’t that a big problem? I’m a Thai girl who like Korean a lot but, also “still” love my Thai singer actor and everything. Someone had said Thai girl will eat up for foreign lol. What an annoying word. For me I will eat up everybody doesn’t matter Thai, Korean, Japanese,…. If those guys got a real talent I’m sure my self will full of joy watching and listening to them. Please RETHINK in other way if you are Thai who got an accident came to read all the comments
how do you feel?
It’s nothing to do with Thailand. This about your country sending people to my country!!
justifiable comment,may i?…thai girls’re not eating up korean poppy cute guys….and no place for business if their are no market!..ok?
no worried,thais will be fine..not everyone has korean sydrome…
and korean?,.. good business mind..lol
Yeah, justa biz, marketing, n whatsoever.
And yeah, Thai guys are far less plastic-lism.
Better looking back to “yours” instead of insulting others.
Remember this one episode from Bugs Bunny..where Bugs is stranded on an island with two convicts..one skinny and the other short n fat. I swear this clown looks exactly like the skinny convict character!
the first few comments are full of ignorance haha..y’all think he’s all that that he can make it anywhere? man i’ve never even heard of this guy until now. it’ll take more than just a few crowds of teenage in thailand. i can listen to k-music but it can get tiring, but i’m never tired of thai music (love the boran songs!) i don’t know why thai peepz like kdrama when they’re so long and boring nowadays. i’d go to thailand anytime instead of wintery korea (not to mention the food is so bland).
oh yeah not to mention, too much plastic barbies and kens (celebs and non-celebs) in kr as well hehe..
