What she said was "My black friend is pretty" not, "She's pretty for a black woman". <br /><br />I am excited to see how Natalie will do, given her recent success for her MBC audition. If nothing more, than to shame the nay-sayers who do not think a Black woman can make in the Korean market whilst they conveniently forget that Beyonce is the 2nd most popular foreign celebrity in Korea. After Usher. Whoops.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30544984.post-73193056677307488472010-02-16T11:00:56.639-05:002010-02-16T11:00:56.639-05:00Yeah, the same happens here.

That’s totally ignorant comment but I could understand if you know the background that we, most of Koreans have not seen and thought about different races because we are living in Korea which still pretty isolated from other side of world…Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02063186341326138133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30544984.post-61972420196666631972009-04-15T01:40:00.000-04:002009-04-15T01:40:00.000-04:00Ms. White and Mr. Cutey aka Bi or Rain is my choic...Ms. White and Mr. Cutey aka Bi or Rain is my choice ;)Reginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09024832959937205245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30544984.post-57755224399643256722009-04-15T01:23:00.000-04:002009-04-15T01:23:00.000-04:00Thanks for this heads up!

When I first heard the story, I envisioned it as ~a black female amateur who had videos of herself singing Korean pop songs actually appeared on TV in South Korea.~ I expected someone looking into a webcam and singing with headphones on ;) Then, again, when I saw the clips, the professional set-up and I didn't believe for one second that she didn't have a manager or agent. <BR/><BR/>I say more power to her. Korean pop acts are packaged and managed into oblivion. Whoever hers is has done a great job because they leveraged her appearance on Star King into other stuff. She made an appearance at Microsoft Korea and I saw another clip of her working on a dance routine with another Korea pop star. I think both sides are exploiting this for all they can get out of it.<BR/><BR/>I do think it's coincidence in the sense that someone had the idea to put those videos up, but Koreans have responded before to foreign faces singing or speaking in Korean on YouTube. Everyone remember Kimchiman?: <A HREF="http://expatjane.blogspot.com/2007/02/kimchiman-arirang-canada-guy.html" REL="nofollow">Kimchiman - Arirang Canada Guy</A>.<BR/><BR/>It's similar. It's just that he didn't have aspirations to be a professional singer/songwriter, wasn't managed and he isn't as pretty as she is ;)Reginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09024832959937205245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30544984.post-29442776527737486432009-04-11T09:28:00.000-04:002009-04-11T09:28:00.000-04:00Very interesting,thanks for continuing to keep an ...Very interesting,<BR/><BR/>thanks for continuing to keep an eye on things a la bando...<BR/><BR/>I'm wondering, though, does Natalie have a handler (or, is she employing one), she mentioned she was in the music industry...and considering her talents/looks, it certainly doesn't seem like a case of coincidence...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30544984.post-80536925952656845972009-04-10T01:25:00.000-04:002009-04-10T01:25:00.000-04:00You're welcome.

I believe the controversy arose over Taeyeon of SNSD(Girl's Generation)making the comment that for a black girl Alicia Keys was pretty. <BR/>I am like anyway can't dwell on ignorance and as Taeyeon isn't the first to make stupid comments and won't be the last.small41https://www.blogger.com/profile/04219876053474725472noreply@blogger.com
