She was born in Yokohama I believe but I know for a fact she was born in japan. Can't speak any Korean as she previously stated either.


Yep she was born in Yokohama.
Her father is African-American and her mother is Korean. She speaks Japanese and English, no Korean.

Pretty much. They have the most disturbing fans. I like Tohoshinki/DBSK but I do not really follow their career. I've got a crush on Jae Joong but that doesn't mean I'd go crazy spazzing over his group. I hate trash talking about idols.

She was traumatized because a different singer sang better than her? Talk about petty.


^ IDK. He's not making any sense with it. And if it was to embarrass Luna in front of the people, then Kevin implies that Luna has no talent because most of the people believed in Charice.

For ICONIQ, she was previously published under a completely different company. It may be that avex has some legal hurdles denying them from mentioning that or something. I don't know, I'm not a fan.

Crystal Kay (African-Korean-American (or Japanese? I don't know her citizen) and JYONGRI are both very forthcoming about their Korean heritage.

For example, when Charice Pempengco guested in Star King the Korean idols were so amazed by her vocal skills and Luna of f(x) even tried to make a duet with her. Luna's version was just fine but it wasn't as powerful as Charice's (though, idol groups aren't really meant to have such powerful voice). It made me think that Charice at that time, made Kpop look like a whole "joke". Yes, they were laughing and even one of the SHINee's member imitated Charice's gestures.


No. I don't believe that. They do that ONE MOMENT IN TIME thing to Luna to embarrass her in front of the audience and Charice. Darn host. Poor Luna. Even some say after the incident that it left a scar on Luna's heart and was totally traumatized. And that makes my being an ANTI-CHARICE gain more for the second time (the first when Charice first guested in StarKing -- a duet with Super Junior member Kyuhyun and their rendition of A WHOLE NEW WORLD -- obviously Charice's voice was louder than Kyuhyun's).


No, that was not to embarrass Luna to the audience. Why so? Because Luna herself said that she performed because she also wanted to be discovered by David Foster. But in her style, this time is not yet the right time for her to cross-over America. I've seen several Filipino Anti-Charice. Mostly are Kpop fans. Didn't you saw that Charice even complimented Luna's singing? They differ in styles but Luna really has the guts. Colonial mentality. Oh well, in the first place, Charice won't be recognize in the west if she's just nothing. What specific reasons do you have to hate her? Because you just felt that Charice dumped the Kpop idols? Nah, Charice's voice isn't loud, it's powerful. If you believe in your idols, then hating other artist to give way for them is not the best solution.

@ LoBFCanti: Yup. I know. That's why I said that J-music in general has a wide variety. And it's just silly for Korean idols to get into the Japanese market with the Japanese versions of their Korean hits. IDK, it's just an unhealthy strategy IMO.

i know that hikki is on her hiatus mode but.. i think this is not good.

obviously, the topic starter just wanna have some "posts".. as in .. many number of posts etc etc.
and flood topics that are related to kpop and other nonesense threads.

if u want to post kpop, go to their respective forum not here.
thats why group/artist fansites are created.

this thread should edit its title to...

"Why Korean topics/posts enter the Utadanet Forum?"
