Kpop Audition I get daily emails from young talent who are looking to audition for JYP Entertainment or YG Entertainment. I do try to direct these people to the correct information. Unfortunately, I am pretty sure that these people are doomed before they start. The Korean pop music industry is so tough to break into… you stand the same chance at winning the lottery and starting your own record l...

SACRAfice If I am a fan of anything it is great music from an artist who isn’t pushed out of a cookie cutter and forced onto the general public from a major record label. We have far too much of that nonsense lately and we have forgotten what real music sounds like.   Much to my surprise I came across an aspiring Asian hip hop artist who goes by the name of SACRAfice. Like other aspiring artist...

What Does JYP Want So I got a random message from Gogole as I was looking into these new global auditions. These auditions are pretty big news right? Most reputable Kpop sites are talkign about this new development and why should I be any different? I was gong to make a story about the good points and bad points of why you should go to the auditions and become an Asian Pop star. I am going to g...

Could You Replace 2PM’s Jae-Beom? You should be careful of what you say because you never know when it will come back to haunt you. Hindsight looks crystal clear to Jae-Beom in this case! I am not going to go in depth about how he left 2pm and went back on the plane to Seattle. The point is that he said things that he probably shouldn’t have and is now paying the price… Should he be paying t...

JYP Cleaned Up For those of you who missed my earlier post about working for JYP Entertainment you should read it. Apparently JYP entertainment is looking for a full time Online Marketing Assistant to help spread the word about their Kpop talent such as Wonder Girls, 2PM, and other newcomers that are soon to emerge onto the Asian market. However, as I was digging deeper into JYP I found a first ha...

JYP Job For those of you who read my last article… you may remember when I stated that JYP needs some help from someone who knows the North American marketplace. Well, JYP has not been sitting still it seems. JYP Entertainment is currently looking for a full time Online Marketing Assistant. Here is the details of the job description: JYP Entertainment seeks a skilled internet marketing assis...

Wonder Girls So Sad You know the saying… “bright lights big city”. Anything is possible in L.A… even a Kpop mega group going on National TV… or perhaps not! I endured the teen choice awards for its 2 hour broadcast on national TV in order to find out they they were not even on air. Sure, they performed for 15000 people. I can only imagine that those select few got to ...

TVXQ Wants Cash We all know about their concert last month when the five-member Korean pop band Dong Bang Shin Gi, a.k.a. TVXQ, enjoyed one of the best moments of its career at the Tokyo Dome, which was filled with tens of thousands of fans relentlessly screamed their names. The consistent drumming of the catchy rhythm played at sound levels that would make your ears ring for hours afterward…...

Wondergirls in Toronto The Wonder Girls will be up here in the land of the maples syrup at the end of August. Here is my opinion about that. Everyone that goes to the concert will go there for the Wonder Girls and the Wonder Girls alone. Don’t get me wrong, there will be tonnes of teens going crazy over the Jonas Brothers in the audience. However, Toronto has the 2nd largest Asian community...

Wonder Girls The Wonder Girls appeared on Radio Disney’s “music mailbag” on Aughust 1st at 11:00am. I may have said some things about JYP in my last post… and I do stand by them. However, if he continues to increase their image with this type of promotion he is on the right track. There was a recent comment on my last post by the author of Saranghae Kpop that stated “...
