    But the point is…the U.S. stars are waaaayyyyy more popular in Korea, than the Korean stars are in the U.S.

    I wish it wasn’t so heavily noted that way, but facts can’t be beat. Come on, Korean celebs, show the U.S. you’re just as good. >:3 Make some people who say Asians can’t sing regret it…to some extent. Yes, I have heard some people say that before.

    OMGOSH!! UTW is going ot be in SF!? When? I hope somewhere around march 8? hehe I live like an hour and a half away…I want to see him so bad, he’s so HOT =P

    hm…Koreans don’t really like American singers don’t they? But I’m glad Neyo is going cause he has a fab. voice, sean kingston, ehh…he’s a wannabe reggae singer, just cause he was born in jamaica he’s just a fake and a disgrace to REAL reggae artists
