Though I like her idea, I don’t think it will be very successful. The entertainment system in Korea is already so established that I don’t know how her company would survive by itself under a style different from every other company–especially in Korea, where the everyone and everything in the entertainment business seems to be connected and networked with one another. But good luck to her.

Oh cool, some LOST lovers here, I’ve been hooked on that show too but for some reason I’m wanting to continue with some low-key, feel-good or hit the spot kind of kdrama over the big, epic, flashy fare that is LOST, I love it but not ready to watch it. Maybe the long break in-between has turned me off a little. Hopefully re-watching it when it begins will kick-start my enthusiasm once again. If Desmond’s in it, or Locke saves the day, or if Claire re-emerges from wherever it was she disappeared to. Otherwise, no.

@amera
The current system in Korea is extremely controlling like the old Hollywood
studio system. Many established actors and the DBSK trio want more say in their own lives and more Money from their labor. Don’t most people want that?

smart move! in many ways.
timely opportunity too = East + West. i hope she achieves that balance.

the fact she is a proven Korean-American made good and established in the West, will do lots to endorse her company, and inspire confidence.

esp in these times of explorative Hollywood foray by Korean stars and singers.

YES. I love LOST.

I’m glad she’s introducing this whole “American standards” thing.

Good for her. Hopefully, this will be a stepping stone for her to bring out not just Korean artists but Asian artists in the world spotlight. I’m hoping that the fusion of the Korean and American standards will be a great blueprint for other management companies in Korea to follow.

When speaking about Lost, I feel completely…..lost? I have yet to jump on the bandwagon but I think I might do a whirlwind marathon after this season.
