I was on a news site that gives you news on things related to the K-pop world. Aside from being so in tune with J-pop, I also really love K-pop. And so, I saw an article on a member from SNSD. Her name is Kim TaeYeon and she had said a very racism or ignorant comment on A.A.(African Americans,Black people etc.) and I felt very offended because I'm half black and what she said was not right. Is she saying that I'm not pretty. I think I'm ugly but for her to say that makes it seems that all A.A are all ugly, except for one person or it's really a shock for someone like Alicia Keys to be from such a race because everyone looks so bad. Overall, I know she didn't know better but many other people who said they have,had or are currently living in Korea and they understand racism and what she said was not acceptable. There were also a lot of fans defending her knowing what she said was horrible. And I thought SNSD's Tiffany and Jessica were bad. Being a leader she should know better. And that brings me to these points.

• When I become famous, I don't want to be like this lady. Not aware of her actions and not knowing they actually hurt people in the end.
• This seems to be acceptable in Korea for a Big Bang member has also made a comment similar this one. I'm not a fan of that person,ethier after finding out.(which was today)
• Also, this challenged me to think about things before I say them so carelessly like her.
• And also apologized for the mistakes I made. She has not yet apologized for this event.

This also made me think long and hard about people I look up to in the music business. I made a list. It's not in order...

• Park Jin Young(JYP)
• Namie Amuro
• Wonder Girls(Ye eun,Sun Mi and Sun Ye<-mostly)
• Hong Ki
• DBSK
• Ayumi Hamasaki
• BoA Kwon
• Morning Musume (I always wanted to be in a big girl group)
• Cold Play
• Beyonce'
• Laurene Hill
• T
• Crystal Kay
  

I picked Park Jin Young because this man is truly talented. He's done work for WG and everytime he comes out with a song it's really a big hit. Also I'm a fan of his personally. My favorite song of his is: She was Pretty.
I picked Namie Amuro because no matter what she kept going, with the divorce of her husband,having a child,dealing with her mom's death...this would have drove me insane or on the edge, but as for Namie she really is a true fighter and for that she is my probably my #1 idol or in the top 3.
I picked Wonder Girls because this group has to be my personal favorite girl girl ever,despite TLC and Destiny's Child(but those girls are inactive). I really envy these girls because there in a group where they can depend on eachother. I guess that what I really want to do when I grow up. Become famous and join a girl group. They are also in my top 3.
I picked Hong Ki from F.T. Island, because first he's my favorite member and he's really cute~! Of course, I love the group as a whole but he's also my favorite because he has such a powerful voice and when he sings it's with great passion. I envy this quality he has in singing.
I picked DBSK because well...they are legend and because they each have a very unique personality and voices. Plus they share a bond like brothers. I envy this also, and that's why I would like to be in a musical group.
I picked Ayumi Hamasaki because she writes her own lyrics and when she write it's like her heart is in the words. I wish I could do that. I've tried but it doesn't seem...correct. She also has a stronger voice and it's also high pitched, I always wanted a high pitched voice-but I lost it in 7-8th grade.

Well..it's getting late so I'll finish up tomorrow. Good Night.
