Then what about Iconiq (Ayumi Lee / Ahyoomee, formerly of the disbanded Korean girl group Sugar)? One source says that she was born to Korean parents in Tottori, Japan. Let's change the topic regarding her: Why does Avex doesn't publicize her Korean career? (even though Sugar attained mediocre sucess in South Korea while her solo career in Korea gained moderate sucess) and why do the article about Iconiq and her previous career wasn't accepted by Avex? Quote: Iconiq's official Japanese profile did not mention her past as a member of Sugar or her Korean heritage, however vaguely references starting activities "overseas" in 2002. Concerns about the motives of this were raised in the Korean media. Korean netizen reactions were mixed, with some seeing the decision as "embarrassment" of her past, while others reasoned Iconiq's Japanese career's stylistic differences were the cause. Tokyo Sports ran an article about Iconiq's past as a Korean idol, however later apologised to Iconiq's record label. Iconiq as Ahyoomee (2007) Iconiq (2010) Then, so far, TVXQ and BoA were the only Korean artists to gain extreme sucess in Japan...until now. TVXQ/Tohoshinki/Dong Bang Shin Ki BoA |
