Are you updated on your K-pop news?
Recently, the Thai member of the South Korean boy band 2PM was involved in a DUI car accident. He hit a man on a motorcycle while under the influence of alcohol.
After an official letter of apology from his company JYP Entertainment was released to the press, the singer tweeted the following message on July 26th:
“I would like to write this letter of apology for such an irresponsible act. To the injured person, his family, the people of Korea, my fans, JYPE family and staffs, 2PM members, and all the people this situation has affected. I have betrayed the ones who have given me their love and support, the love and support I don’t deserve with such behavior. I feel the need to take some time off to re-think about my action and myself, to make myself a better person and never again repeat the same mistake. I am truly ashamed that I have disappointed so many, and I am deeply sorry.”
I never condone drinking and driving and I’m torn on this subject. I think hitting and injuring someone was wrong and he should not have gotten behind the wheel drunk. However, what should happen to a person’s career after a DUI accident?
What do you think?

WCL: “Let’s Get Windy”!
Recently, I had the opportunity to be apart of the Windy City Live studio audience.
The 9:00AM show requires their audience to dress upscale and be in the ABC-TV/Disney Studios by 7:30 AM. There is about a hour and 15 minute wait until you are seated in the icy (air conditioned) WCL room.
If you plan to visit the show in summer, make sure you bring a sweater or jacket to avoid frequent trips to the restroom!
The show is a hour and its very enjoyable. Three TV monitors airing the live program are located to the right of the audience. (Two are on mounted on the ceiling and one is eye level to the bottom row. The screens are very necessary when the cameras and crew frequently block the audience’s view of the hosts and guests. However, ALL LIVE SHOWS have gigantic moveable camera equipment so it is no biggie.
Host panel Ji suk, Ryan, Val and Roe
Nonetheless, the crew was very friendly and the show was entertaining….plus WCL has frequent giveaways on many of the shows!
I would recommend anyone visiting Chicago to give it a go!

Hello Pop! host Chrissa Villanueva
K-pop is infiltrating into American’s music scene!
With the Girls Generation and Snoop Dogg collaboration, JYJ and Kanye West single and Black Eyed Peas’ Will.i.am promotion, the USA should have seen the Wonder Girls newest single coming. While you are still reeling from the Wonder Girls’ debut single “Like Money” with Akon, check out a statement from one of the networks behind the K-Pop explosion.
Mnet America’s COO Sang Cho
Recently, Mnet America’s COO Sang Cho made the following statement exclusively to BTSCelebs
“K-pop is a global phenomenon that is breaking into the American mainstream pop culture in a big way. The genre’s biggest artists are appearing on U.S. late night television. They are sharing stages with Snoop Dogg and collaborating in the studio with Will.i.am. Mnet’s goal is to help ignite this K-pop explosion by introducing fans to the hottest recording acts, cutting edge K-pop inspired trends, fashion and lifestyle through our TV Everywhere platform.”
Do you think K-Pop will top hits like Carly Rae Jepsen‘s “Call Me Maybe”?

BTSCelebs: What inspired you to become an artist?
Minjae Lee: It was something that just happened really. I enjoyed seeing someones cartoons and manga drawings one day and then started doing it myself and eventually it developed into the style I have today.
How do you decide on a subject to paint/draw?
If it inspires, it inspires.
K-Pop is becoming very popular around the world, Do you have an idol crush?
I think many of them are very talented and very beautiful.
Do you think drawing a singer could help your art’s popularity reach new heights?
Of course it’s what people do to bring their art to new audiences and a new series I am working on will feature some recognizable faces from film, music etc
How long did it take you to complete your most difficult piece?
Some pieces have taken over a year, off and on.
What additional talents do you have besides art?
Have to leave a little for people to discover for themselves.
Have you created any of your pieces in foreign countries? If so, where?
Israel is where I just recently started a piece the size of a shipping container, but it was only 80% complete. It’s HUGE!!!
What do you predict for your future in art?
I do not predict, but I hope more people see my art and enjoy what they see.
