Do you think Korean pop stars should gain popularity in the U.S., by appearing on trashy American tv shows?

I wasn't born in the US but I came here when I was 1. I dont' get most pop references at all. It's not that I was secluded or didn't have any friends, it's just that a lot of pop culture you pick up from your friends and my friends weren't the follow the trends type. Or I just plain didn't know. I mean besides the really obvious pop idols and icons, if you're not interested, why follow?

but yeah, it seemed rather silly that a Big korean pop star would waste his time going to a high school prom....(is that what it was?)


Yeah, I don't think Bi/Rain or anyone as popular as they were claiming "Big Korea" was, would be caught dead at a high school prom.


Heh, if his girlfriend was in high school, maybe. Big Smile You know high school dramas.. hehe. But yeah Rain is bit old to be attending school proms...

Are we (people who are born in the U.S., but aren't Caucasians) not Americans too? You are generalizing that the Caucasian communities are Americans and the other ethnic minorities born in America are not Americans, but that's incorrect. If you look back in history Caucasians immigrated from Europe; they did not originate from America in the first place.



I agree with AngelGurl6.. people who aren't caucasians are still considered Americans... you don't even have to be born in the US to be Americans.. as long as ur a citizen.. so the correct term Bugsie should've used was "Caucasian Americans" Big Smile



Was it prom? or was it just a formal? I don't watch the OC.. although I have a friend that's obsessed with it.. she have every season and have been pressuring me into watching... haha the character I like the most in there would be Steph he's so dorky! But is it just me or do they ALL look way to old to be 17/18...I swear that main character guy Ryan/Brian...looks 27 and married with 3 kids... Mr. Green

Yes!! lets go n watch some quality dramas!!!! =D


What some quality dramas do you recommend? I have only 1 episode left to download for Full House (iCEDRAMA 700MB version). Big Smile


If you like Full House, I would recommend We're Dating Now and Which Star Are You From? I haven't finished either, yet (still waiting for subs on some of the later episodes), but they are both romantic dramas, both with a fair share of comedy. TV


Thanks for the recommendation. Last year, I started to watch "We're Dating Now" half way through the series then stopped. I must had some really good series to watch that time. scratch Have you watched "All About Eve" starring Chae Rim? Another good Kdrama. Smile

Whoa, bugsie, when did I said that I wasn't influenced by the culture in the U.S.? scratch I think you quoted the wrong person.

Like everyone else, I'm tired of seeing the typical Asian stereotype, which is why I absolutely LOVE Grey's Anatomy and the character Sandra Oh plays. Although she's the braniac (like asian characters are) her character is completely high maintenance, a slob, and very very blunt. I love her character. Smile

Benjamin McKenzie is definitely too old to be authentically playing a 17-year-old. They all are, really.
