YG needs to partner with people more noticeable in the US, like, Warner, Sony-BMG, EMI, even Disney, anyone who has that "American influence" can really help him out. as an American, if he wants to make it big, its not his music that needs improving, its his record label.

I am an American and listen predominantly to C-pop and K-pop because there is little to nothing worth listening to in the states save National acts like Far East Movement and a few groups out of LA like DDL Roundhouse, Burning Tree Project and Putnam Hall. The state of music in America is absolutely horrible! It is my hope that musicians out of Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and China can make an impact here. It is about time the Asian entertainment community makes an impact on the US Market- lord knows there are many talented folks out there who are from here (Van Ness Wu and Stanley Huang are two such talented gents who come to mind- they are both from the LA area born and raised- and Wang LeeHom who is from NY originally, graduate of Berkley) and go abroad to make it because of the complete lack of support and opportunity here in the states for Asian artists. One hour's viewing of a network like MTV or BET can show the talentless bimbos and thugs who are the 'music scene' in America. If US record Companies continue on with promoting such talentless hacks as Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears and 50 Cent, whose only claim to fame is a buncha PR from the brainless media machine in the states, they will continue in their downward spiral of lack of sales and go under- and perhaps it is actually a good thing if they did- maybe then the recording industry would have to take a second look at themselves and reorganize things to where the talent and music come first cuz their bottom line, the almighty dollar, will be null. The fact sales are so down in the states should give them a clue- and it obviously hasn't and doesn't. The only saving graces in popular American music today are folks like Justin Timberlake and 36 Mafia and maybe Shania Twain... most of what is played on the radio is complete and utter rubbish. Personally, I'd rather listen to something like Se7en's 24/7 in which the music is excellent and the performance above par even tho I don't understand the language than have to hear things like Soulja Boy 50 times a day. Get with it America- there is alot more out there than just your closed view of what popular music is or should be- and it is also past time the Asian community has some REAL representation in the market- not just some fly by night novely like William Hung ( who is a total embarrassment)who has no talent at all and makes the Asian community a laughing stock. I really hope Se7en makes it here, as well as Rain should he return again- and help kick down the invisible barrier the recording industry claims is non existant. There is a market for them and other artists of their ilk, if only the media outlets out there ( IE: MTV and that sort) would take the time to help promote them. I wish Se7en, and all who come after him to the USA all the best and hope to see them live someday- which, by the way, I saw Rain when he was here- awesome is the only word to describe the show...

Why approach the media when U.S media when your English is not that good. You just open yourself up to more criticism. About the songs played, they actually sounded like Se7en's style. I have been a Se7en fan since the beginning. And no I am not a part of his camp. Just a true fan that will support his U.S. debut. You should do more to promote Se7en as an Asian Artist then to knock him down. You must be a Se7en hater. There is no better artist from Asia to try and break into the U.S. Market.

I can't believe he keeps replying to these posts. All he does is tarnish and turn me off to Se7en and his company. FYI, Popseoul and readers do ACTUALLY know what we're talking because we ARE, after all, the average American viewer and listener. We know good and modern American artists when we see them because we're the ones who BUY and SUPPORT their music and who keep up with the latest hits. Popseoul has a love-hate relationship with celebrities, just as ALMOST every American does (w/ the exception of obsessed fans who don't count). If Se7en came out with a great hit and he really appealed to our mainstream music, of course we would support him. What part of this don't you get?? We are more critical of him BECAUSE we know that breaking into the market will be 50 times harder for a foreigner, which means Se7en and other Korean artists need to work 100 times harder. That's with every minority in America. America isn't like Korea, where its praise after praise and overrating every single celebrity there except the really talented ones. We have MINDS OF OUR OWN. Honestly, Korean artists are NOT doing enough. The expectations in Korea compared with America are like two different worlds. It'll be a total waste of time just to fail at it and an embarrassment to Korean-Americans. When people are critical and pointing out the faults of others, it's not only for entertainment but to show all the things you're lacking or can improve. Why are YOU guys so negative and bitter about mere criticism. This is NOTHING compared to professional music critics and American sites. WHY can't YOU turn this into a more positive experience or construct, no matter how much you feel personally attacked?? That's what any smart and professional artist or company would do.
