[TRANS] 111126 Meeting TVXQ In Las Vegas, “Popularity Kings In America? We Are All National Representatives Of K-Pop”
On 25 November at 4.30pm, TVXQ attended the “2011 Bilboard K-Pop Masters” press conference held at the meeting room of MGM Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada. They said “We are very happy to have a chance to help educate people about K-pop in a famous city such as Las Vegas. As compared to the fact that this is held specifically in America, we are happy to be able to spread our culture to more people. As a representative for all of our country, we will work hard, and we hope that everyone can give us more love and care.”
Answering an American journalists question of “Did you know that you are in fact very popular in America?” U-Know Yunho said, “ We were a little embarrassed when we heard about that. It makes me want to show even more of the Korean culture to everybody. We will express our gratitude via today’s show.”
On this concert, TVXQ said, “Every group’s performance has reached a flawless level. The last performance will be “Arirang” (a Korean folk song). We specially prepared this to enjoy it with the audience. It would be great if everyone could use their cheers to express their happiness towards this show. We want to spend a meaningful day with everybody.”
As for “The American musician you would like to work with,” they replied “We live by listening to music from a variety of singers, and if we had to pick just one, it would be difficult. If there is a good opportunity, we would want to work with them, We hope that we can work together to produce an even better album.”
Responding to the K-pop fever, this press conference saw many famous local media such as FOX channel, MTV and The Huffington Post.
After the press conference, TVXQ had an outdoor red carpet event, and appeared in suits. With this world tour that went to places such as America, France, Japan, China and others, they have left a deep impression, courageously meeting up to the large cheers. Any movement made by TVXQ is capable of igniting passion from the audiences.
Bonnie Wong (22) who watched their performance in LA, when evaluating K-pop artists, said “I feel that their vocal and dancing abilities are exceptional as they move towards a global stage, and it is amazing. Their performances are full of charm, and that attracts me even more.” Stacy Kay Gully, who was present in Las Vegas, praised K-pop, saying “I don’t have an accurate understanding of the lyrics, but I can still feel the passion and depth of their music. Korean music touches my heart first, and not my ears.”
With the soaring K-pop fever reaching Las Vegas, the “2011 Billboard K-Pop Masters” is a large-scale music festival organized by Billboard Korea and MGM.
