Upcoming Preview Party @ San Francisco

YG: “I was also surprised at Se7en’s English”

Not only mass communication officials in the US were surprised at Se7en’s English, which he used to communicate with the reporters in a press conference hours before his preview party in Los Angeles, but also YG Entertainment’s Yang Hyun Suk.“I was also surprised at Se7en’s English. His English is very good to think that it’s only been 5 months since he focused on learning it,” related Yang to reporters whom he met last May 4 in a hotel in Los Angeles.credits: newsen + http://z12.invisionfree.com/Se7enth_Heaven/

According to Se7en, the language was the hardest part in his US debut preparations. But based on his English skills during the press conference, he has considerably become better in the language.

“Se7en seems to have an excellent ability in learning a language. He learned Japanese in less than a year but he speaks it well. He seems to have an inborn talent in language but he also works hard on learning it.”

Last May 3 and 4, Se7en and Yang Hyun Suk were busy attending to offers. Also, right now, according to an official, Se7en’s camp is continuously meeting with a record company, which is almost at the point of making its decision. Se7en’s American album, which includes 12 tracks, is to be released in June-July under the determined record company.

 

Se7en To Also Act In The US

According to Red Queen Media’s Director of Public Relations, Jonas Hudson, aside from debuting in the US as a singer, Se7en is also going to be busy this year on his acting career.“It’s not been fixed yet but Se7en is planned to participate in acting casting calls of US cable TV this coming July-August.”

Hudson also added that for Se7en to effectively localize in the US, he will also be visible not only as a singer but also as a model and actor.

Se7en’s US debut album is planned to be released in July-August.

 

Se7en Opposed To US Beef Products In Korea

Se7en, who is in the midst of preparing for his showcase in the US, expressed his opposition to the government’s decision to fully open Korea’s market to US beef products. He did this through an entry in his mini homepage on May 2, which he titled “Are you crazy??????? You gave yourself as a servant*!!!!!!!”

Will.i.am: “I don’t have a reason why Se7en and Rain can’t be popular in the US”

“I don’t have a reason why Se7en and Rain can’t be popular in the US,” said Black Eyed Peas member and producer Will.i.am, who was one of the speakers of Day 2 of the SBS-sponsored “Seoul Digital Forum 2008,” which was held today, May 7, at the Sheraton Walker Hill Hotel. Will.i.am was a speaker for one of today’s sessions entitled “Entertainment, At the Forefront of Imagination.”According to Will.i.am, if Black Eyed Peas is getting popular in Brazil, he does not see it impossible for Se7en and Rain or any of the Korean singers debuting in the US to be popular in the said country.

“But Korean singers are still not known in the US. If up-and-coming Korean singers collaborate with famous producers in the US, there’s a high possibility for them to succeed,” added Will.i.am.

美国夜店开个唱

SE7EN大派钞票讨好歌迷

 

泛华汇讯专稿,积极冲出亚洲市场的韩国男歌手SE7EN5月3日在美国洛杉矶的夜店举行展示会，宣布首张英文大碟将于7月面世。他大派印有自己头像标志的7美元假钞票，令歌迷陷入疯狂状态！暂停韩国活动专心为美国市场铺路的SE7EN继3月在纽约举行派对介绍自己的音乐后，5月3日又在洛杉矶的著名夜店Highlands举行展示会，亲自上台献唱《You Got Me Now》、《Money Can’t Buy Me Love》和《Girls》3首歌。当晚场面热闹，有大批圈中人赏脸到场，如登台表演为歌迷热身的奥斯卡得奖组合邪恶黑帮（Three 6 Mafia）、曾与SE7EN合唱的混血儿女歌手艾蜜蕊（Amerie）、Jinu等等。

事实上，逗留美国半年以来，他的英语已经进步不少，当日在记招上，他便能够以流利英语应对，语言天分非常高。

现场挤爆逾千名歌迷，当SE7EN一出场时，他们即大叫Sexy Guy（性感男生），并随着SE7EN的歌声跳舞。SE7EN也很聪明，一早预备了见面礼，向歌迷大派印有自己头像标志的7美元假钞票，令歌迷陷入疯狂状态，掀起一阵争夺战。

语言最难

SE7EN在开个唱前举行记者会，透露自己杀入美国市场的心情，有如5年前在韩国出道时一样紧张。他知道很少亚洲歌手成功闯美，希望藉此可以打破大家对亚洲歌手的偏见，让更多人听到自己的音乐。他暂定7月推出首张英文专辑，被问到闯美最困难之处，他说：当然是语言问题啦！最初录音时，花了最多时间在发音和记歌词方面，不过过程很有趣，我很满足。

Se7en: “My album will break the prejudice against Asian singers”

Before the start of the preview party at Highlands in Los Angeles, Se7en first held a press conference at around 8:30 pm. The interview was done in English and Se7en did not get the help of an interpreter for the reporters’ questions.

In the said press conference, after sharing the process of getting in YG Entertainment as a trainee when he was still in junior high school and debuting in 2003, Se7en expressed the pressure he is facing now.

He said, “It’s rare for an Asian singer to debut in the US and the load is heavy on my shoulder. The nervousness is actually bigger than the burden. I’m feeling like 5 years ago before my debut.”

He continued, “There’s prejudice on Asian singers but my music will change that. Famous producers worked on my album, which includes R&B, pop, hip hop music that will be able to remove the prejudice on an Asian singer. If it’s played on radio, it will feel as if it’s sung by a current singer because it was made to current trends of music.”

Se7en’s album put together the work of famous producers like Mark Shimmel, Rich Harrison, Noize Trip and Darkchild.

With regard to the production of the album, Se7en said, “It went well and was fun. I learned a lot on music and being a person. I feel that I’ve grown as time went by. How much the album sells and how high it’s going to rise in the Billboard chart are not important. It’s my goal that a lot of people get to listen to my music.”

When asked what was the hardest thing about his debut, Se7en said it was the language.

“I had to study pronunciations and the meaning of the lyrics. I studied English for 4-5 months, 3-4 hours a day. It’ll be great if my English is perfect. But as a singer, the music should be the one to do the talking. If my thoughts can be transmitted through music, then my English will follow through. This year, next year, I’ll continue to show my growth,” Se7en said, who has considerably good English, having stayed in the US for 6 months.

Se7en was also asked which American female singer he would like to work with since he has already worked with male singers. Se7en answered that he would like to work with Beyonce and Alicia Keys because he likes their music.

The press conference was organized by Red Queen Media (RQM) and was attended by its President, Jang Young Woo, and its Director of Public Relations, Jonas Hudson.

Jonas Hudson praised Se7en and said that he is equipped with the good traits to debut in the US and that Se7en is an Asian star that is going to be born again as a world star.

“Top team of producers worked on his album and TV and a music video will be utilized for his promotions,” Jonas Hudson said.

Preview Party

Se7en’s performance at Highlands was to test the reaction of music fans before the actual release of the album, which includes 12 tracks and is planned to be released this Summer.

“It’s a very special day for me because this is my debut stage in the US,” he said.

Attendees of the event were producer “Darkchild,” officials from record labels Interscope and Sony BMG and YG Entertainment’s Yang Hyun Suk and Jinu of hip hop duo Jinusean.

2,500 people, composed of fans and clubbers were present, were first to see The Far East Movement, who opened the show. Three 6 Mafia then performed. Then Se7en, wearing a leather jacket, went up on stage, which made the females in the club scream. At this time, cameras and cellphones were also held up high in order to take videos and pictures of Se7en.

Se7en performed “You Got Me Now,” which features Three 6 Mafia, “Money Can’t Buy Me Love,” composed by 1TYM’s Teddy and “Girls,” which was produced by Darkchild.
