Asian Junkie Asian pop. Without discretion.
In case you missed it, a previously unknown Korean named Han Heejun got on the American hype machine yesterday after his performance on the Fox talent show, “American Idol“.
See the picture? That is what being mainstream looks like, not having a dozen fluff articles with no substance over the course of a year.
Anyway, we should all support the guy because:
1) He has already generated more media attention from the American press in a day than Korean companies and Korean government agencies could muster by actively trying to force K-pop on America for years.
2) How hilarious would it be if some random homely looking Korean dude from New York ended up being mainstream in America while spending zero in marketing and publicity, while publicly traded corporations flop one after another in the same market?
3) He’s good.
Join or die.
dudes good
MY OPPARS AND UNNIRS ARE MORE TALENTED THAN THIS NOBODY!!!!!! ROARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
They would absolutely bash him for “lacking visuals”.
He makes it to the top 42 semi-finalists.
Is that further than John Park?
That ending had me cracking up XD
But yeah, the dude is pretty good.
Guy has got a wonderful voice sweet jesus. Also checked his fanpage out and it seems he lead some poll regarding which auditionee from that set of auditions people favoured. But yeah, dude is awesome.
Dunno, guy got a ton of buzz on most American pop sites.
Shit, I even saw him on Grantland, which is a sports pop culture site.
He’s got a soulful voice. I hope they don’t try to make him the next John Park though.
socially awkward penguin
He’s awesome… and he has a personality! I’m on team Heejun.
