Ludacris is officially working with YG Entertainment!

American rapper, Ludacris, is set to sign an agreement with YG entertainment next week! If you haven't been following kpop news (like I do religiously), Ludacris has already expressed his positive feelings towards the genre. He feels that kpop is going global, and really favors YG Entertainment's Hip-Hop/R&B music. Ludacris is visting Korea on September 20th, where he will sign a memorandum. Representatives from YG hinted at a music exchange and a collaboration in the future.

Also, Ludacris will release his brand of headphones "Soul" on the 20th at the press conference with YG.

If you don't already know, The Black Eyed Peas' Will.I.Am. recently visted Korea to work with YG's 2NE1. Maybe Ludacris will work with Big Bang? Who Knows? So many possiblilties.

Anyone excited for the American/Korean collaborations?

Toyota's "Growing Up" commercial

Back with my ongoing commercial spotlight posts, I just recently found Toyota's new commercial featuring an Asian American dad and his little girl who "grows up" in thirty seconds.
The commercial is cute,relatable, and effectively sends out the messages Toyota is trying to accomplish.
The most awesome thing about this commercial is that stereotypes are nonexsistent. This fits the typical "American" lifestyle. Job well done,Toyota.

Glee returns this September. And guess what? Mike Chang now has parents

Tamlyn Tomita

If you don't already know by now Mike Chang, played by Harry Shum Jr., is not a supporting actor anymore. In this season on Glee, Mike Chang is now one of the main characters alongside fellow Gleemates like Rachel Berry (Lea Michele) and Kurt Hummel (Chris Colfer). Chang now has a larger role in the series so gleeks can get a closer look into Mike Chang's history. Which means, Mike Chang now has parents.

Tamlyn Tomita of The Joy Luck Club and Keong Sim of The Last Airbender will play Chang's mother and father respectively.

Keong Sim

This is really exciting news. I think this is a big step for the media. And of course you would see it first on Glee. From a show that disregards what anyone has to say about it, Glee likes to take chances. And it pays off. I just hope the characters are played respectfully.

You won't get to see this duo until October 4th during the third episode, but I bet Glee fans cannot wait.

Check out the new season on Fox starting September 20th!!
