[News] Yiruma Wants to Work with TVXQ

Over at dnbn, a TVXQ fan posted an article which featured Yiruma and in the article he stated:

“I want to give a music piece to an idol group like TVXQ.“

Yiruma is a world famous Korean pianist / composer. He’s 30 years old, born in Seoul but moved to London when he was a child. After his musical education, he moved back to Korea and started composing music for various venues (mostly dramas and movies). Although he had dual citizenship (Korean and British) he gave up his British citizenship so he could serve in the military for mandatory service (Navy back in 2006). He was discharged not too long ago and he married a former Miss Korea.

[Info] BoA to Release Her First Regular Album in America

Superstar BoA has finally unveiled the release date of her first regular album in America. In a radio interview with KIIS-FM in Los Angeles, she made a surprise announcement that her regular album will be marketed next March. This is the first time that any official reference was made to the release date.

BoA is currently staying in the U.S. to work on the album with two famed music producers, Brian Kennedy and Sean Garrett. Having launched her career in the U.S. with the digital single “Eat You Up” in late October, she has steadily made names for herself by appearing on MTV New York Live program and the Jingle Ball Concert. However, not having a regular album out has impeded her music career from panning out further in America. So once her album is released in March, she’ll be able to put on more aggressive PR activities and performances.

The American mainstream music market has been a tough nut to crack for Asian pop stars. Korean and Asian music lovers are waiting to see how bit this Korean pop diva can make it in the fiercely competitive market.
