Sorry to say but the fact is no. But it turns out Koreans think they are fully capable of doing so.
Many people have been trying hard to break in to the US market such as Wonder Girls, Crown J, Rain, Lee Byung Hun, BoA, and Se7en. But out of all the other Korean artistes, which seem like they have a chance in the States?
At Bugs music site they held a a poll, "Which musician could make it in America?" and SNSD won with 29% of the votes. Nothing against the girls but really? In my opinion, they are really far off from what America is looking for. They're cute, I'll give them that, but who would take them seriously here?
Netizens argued, "SNSD has 9 girls and some can speak English. They can pull off all concepts. If they get a good producer, they would be successful." If that's the case, shouldn't most Korean artistes who have tried to make it in the US, have made it already since they always seem to get the best producers.
Another netizen commented, "In the US, they love Asian women. I think girl groups have a better chance than the boy groups."
2nd place went to 2PM. Netizens said, "JYP has a lot of connections in America so they would have an advantage," and "2PM's amazing performances would gather attention."
They chose Big Bang for third place. And Rain took 4th place. Ouch, the one guy that's actually done work in America gets fourth place. 2NE1 took fifth place and Wheesung took sixth.
Where are the Wonder Girls in this?
My comment:
I don't know whether US is one of these girl's target or not. But I think they should try it. But whatever their decision is... we must always support them.
