Se7en colides with BoA & Rain
BoA is postponing her debut as an actress because of her U.S. debut.
Singer BoA (23, real name Kwon Bo-a) says she is looking forward to performing in the U.S. along with Rain and Se7en, because–despite their different music styles–the three of them can cause a bigger stir in the U.S. pop market together rather than individually.

This year, several K-pop artists including BoA, Rain (27, real name Chung Ji-hoon) and Se7en (25, real name Choi Dong-wook) will establish their presence in the U.S.
BoA released her U.S. debut single album “Eat You Up” in October last year and is to release her first studio album targeting the U.S. market early this year. Rain, for his part, will debut in Hollywood in July-August in the movie “Ninja Assassin” and will release his “worldwide album” in August.
Se7en, who last year announced the song “Girls” by famous American producer Dark Child, will launch promotional activities in the U.S. in February along with Lil’ Kim, who is featured in the song, and will release his studio album early this year.
In a recent interview, BoA said she looks forward to this “goodwill competition” with other K-pop artists in a foreign market. “I hope we’ll all meet up in the U.S., because we’re going to feel very lonely. I know Se7en personally and we’ve been keeping in touch while he’s been staying in Los Angeles. He tells me about his life in the U.S. and how he’s learning English,” said BoA.
She also added that she prefers to maintain close relations with a small group of people rather than with many people and that she will need good friends in the U.S. more than ever.
In the interview, BoA also mentioned her long-scheduled debut as an actress. “I’ve postponed my acting plans for a while because my U.S. debut is a priority at this point. In fact, I’ve received an offer from Hollywood as well as from Korea and Japan. If I’m made an offer to appear in a really good production, I’ll try my hand at acting,” said the singer.
BoA says she is happy to see her junior colleagues like TVXQ, Girls’ Generation and SHINee growing up as artists. They are all managed by the same agency, SM Entertainment.
“Singers don’t have much opportunity to meet other apprentice singers after their debut. I learned about TVXQ only after the band’s debut. I like it a lot. I’m the same age as a lot of the TVXQ and Super Junior members. One of the Super Junior members is even older than me. That’s why I jokingly call him ‘Super Adult.’ The Girls’ Generation members are very pretty, while the SHINee members are like my little brothers. The youngest one, Tae-min, is seven years my junior,” said BoA.
BoA said for the past six years she has spent December 31 in the waiting room of the Japanese broadcaster NHK, because she has appeared in NHK’s Kouhaku Singing Festival every year. The singer added that she was happy to see TVXQ participate in the festival last year.

Korean pop superstar, pays a visit to the Seattle area
Fans swarmed the Korean pop star's show in California. And now, Choi Dong Wook, known as Se7en, will take on Washington.
"Nobody hates the number 7," Se7en said about his favorite number. "I want to be everyone's luck. I want to give them luck from my music."
The 25-year-old has won nine Korean Music Awards (equivalent to Grammys), as well as Most Popular Korean Singer (MTV Asia Awards). In addition, he's sold out shows in both South Korea and Japan, in arenas that sit 20,000. And after four albums in South Korea and two albums in Japan, he's ready for the states.
"My music is pop and R&B, so the music that I love is born here, in America," said Se7en, who has been singing since age 5. "In Asia, every singer, their best dream is America."
Se7en is coming to Washington for the first time this week, performing in Seattle at Fremont Studios Saturday and signing autographs in Federal Way on Sunday. After more than 3,000 people showed up for his Highlands Night Club concert last May in Hollywood, who knows how many Seattle-area fans will turn out? More than 1,000 queued up for San Francisco and Orange County signings, arriving as early as 7 a.m. for autograph sessions that started at 2 in the afternoon.
"It's really like, so special, that I'm here in America, not Asia, but still people know me and people are supporting me," said Se7en. "That kind of thing is really like an honor, and I'm so thankful about that."
With hip-hop-flavored dancing skills, an R&B taste and Michael Jackson-inspired clothes, Se7en is like a pop-ier Justin Timberlake. Over the past year and a half, Se7en has settled in Los Angeles, working on a self-produced American debut album all in English, set for release in February.
"It was pretty hard. I'm still working on my English," said Se7en, who describes himself as a hardworking, happy person.
The singer has a hit-making team that includes Grammy Award-winning producer Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins (who has worked with pop stars like Beyoncé, Ludacris and Michael Jackson) and Noize Trip (who produced Fergie and Pink). They created a hip-hop-funk-R&B album, with Se7en collaborating with such rappers as Fabolous and Three 6 Mafia. And Se7en's first single, set for release next month, is with Lil' Kim.
"I want to show them something from Asian culture, something fresh, something new," said Se7en. "Me and Lil' Kim come together — isn't it kind of fresh?"
He is looking for an American major label to work with, and if successful, he could be the first Korean artist of his caliber to break into this market.
"Music is just music — music is universal," said Se7en. "I don't think it matters where I'm from. It doesn't matter my face color. ... I want to show them just my music, then my singing, my dancing, my performing — that's the point."
