Park Jin-young: taking Korean talent to the West
"I wanted to form a group that was young but appealed to all ages with music and dance", says Park Jin-young, the man behind the stellar success of the Wonder Girls. Park debuted as a singer in 1994 and established JYP Entertainment in 1999. His company produced a list of K-pop stars like 'Rain', G.O.D, Byeol and Noel, and in 2007, Park launched his first group manufactured girl band, the Wonder Girls. "The concept of the Wonder Girls is similar to the one I had with G.O.D, who have sold over 6 million albums. As a producer, I want them to be trend leaders, and I want the singers to become the top Asian vocal group through hard training and long hours of practice", he says. Everything about the Wonder Girls, from writing lyrics and composing music to costumes and choreography is controlled by Park's magic hands. Not just for the Wonder Girls but for every choice he makes, Park claims personality matters most. "I don't just ch...| More | |||||||||||||||||

 By Lee Hyo-wonStaff Reporter Singer-actor 'Rain' will give concerts next month in the United States, for the first time in three years, J-Tune Entertainment announced Thursday. The 27-year-old pop star will reappear Dec. 24 and 25 at Caesars Palace Hotel in Las Vegas, where he performed three years ago. This will be the U.S. leg of his "Legend of Rainism" tour that took place in Japan in August and in South Korea last month. " 'Rain' is preparing to perform at the Caesars Palace Hotel, which is famous as a concert venue for top pop artists such as Celine Dion and Elton John", J-Tune Entertainment was quoted as saying, according to Yonhap News. "The concerts will feature the fancy visuals and events that characterized the `Legend of Rainism' tour. We received the offer from a staff member who worked on "Rain"'s 2006 tour, and all that is left to do is sign the contract". The singer, who is also known as Jung Ji-hoon, performed at the Madison Square Garden Theater in New Y...| More | |||||||||||||||||

| The screening was great! As for the movie.... well, first let me say, if you are the least bit squeamish then DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE. There was intense, anime-style violence throughout the entire film. As I watched the opening scene, I did not have high expectations for this film. The opening is full of ridiculous dialogues and really bad Asian stereotypes. It left a bad impression on me during the whole film, but once I put it out of my mind and tried to enjoy the movie, I found that it was pretty good. 'Rain' did an excellent job! I really enjoyed his character. His acting and fighting scenes were the best in the film. There were also lots of 'fan service' shots ('Rain' running about in minimal clothing) so fan who saw the movie just for 'Rain' will not be disappointed. If I have any complaints about the movie, the are about the unbelievable plot-line (yes, even unbelievable for a ninja movie. It was some where between a samurai movie and 'The Da Vinci Code') and terrible di...| More | |||||||||||||||||

'Mass Media Should Give Balance to Programming'
By Park Si-soo Staff Reporter It may not be an exaggeration to say that today's Korean pop charts are literally "occupied" by boy bands and girl groups such as the Wonder Girls and TVXQ, whose members are in their late teens and early 20s and dance to computerized hip-hop music. This trend is making it harder than ever to watch sophisticated performances by middle-aged artists on the small screen particularly during primetime hours. Lim Jin-mo, one of the country's most influential music critics, said the unbalanced exposure of singers to the media will undermine K-pop's international competitiveness and eventually devastate the country's breeding ground for young musical prodigies. "The Korean music industry is extremely unbalanced", Lim said in an interview with The Korea Times. "Music producers, consumers and media are all liable for that. "Producers try to make only money-making music and consumers are moved by son...| More | |||||||||||||||||

 By Cho Jae-hyonStaff Reporter Singer and actor 'Rain', one of the top Korean wave or hallyu stars, said the term "Korean wave" would be better not used as it is too self-centered and could cause anti-hallyu sentiment among Asian fans. Asked about the reason behind its recent waning on CNN's Talk Asia interview program, 'Rain' said, "The biggest problem is the term Korean wave. It doesn't sound right. It's a bit too self-centered". 'Rain' said it shouldn't just be about exporting Korea's own culture but about using each other's cultures and exchanging ideas. "I think the word hallyu can actually create anti-hallyu sentiment because it sounds so unilateral, which could be why some of the dramas and other things are losing popularity compared to before". He also said a lot of people have jumped on it for the money, and introduced works with low quality, causing a loss of face to some extent. Asked about the strong points about Korean pop culture, he pointed to a lot of...| More | |||||||||||||||||
