dok2

Dok2’s talent in music was not just his own but his whole family’s.

Recently, Dok2 posted on Twitter a picture of himself at a young age, stating, “People who don’t know me never speak to me in Korean, then and now still.”

Dok2 is a half-Korean with a Filipino-Spanish father and a Korean mother. Not only that, Dok2’s cousin is Nicole Scherzinger, a former member of American girl group Pussycat Dolls.

Korean media have begun to create a buzz over this, as it was recently re-discovered. Dok2’s brother is also a rapper in a group called Ezis, who is active in South Korea.

Are you surprised by Dok2’s family talent? Were you a fan of the Pussycat Dolls when they were active?

1. [+663, -37] Even if they're cousins, there's no reason to meet often if you're not close
2. [+577, -48] Cousins might seem close but in this generation, it's not.. Especially interracial families that are spread out all over the world.
3. [+424, -41] So do you meet her at Chuseok or what?
4. [+351, -41] I had no idea he was mixed;
5. [+215, -5] First time finding out he's mixed
6. [+53, -2] Wow, he comes from a musician family. Also my first time finding out he's mixed.
7. [+55, -5] Didn't know he was mixed. Daebak that he's cousins with Nicole!

I think we might need an Illionaire tag... or maybe I'm missing a similar one.

I love pcd songs hate that it's basically nicole and the pussycats

i have pcd cds and they are great jams. tho i bought them for like 0,5% original price cause majority of my cd collection comes from thrift store (and i'm not complaining). their worst song is jai ho though, i can't forgive the person who decided remaking that song into english was a good idea...
i remember how big pcd were when i was 12. but i never liked nicole and i kinda prefered the dancers over her, esp the melody girl. i was flipping through some gossip magazines few days ago and i was surprised that nicole is still with lewis hamilton :p

'cause majority of my cd collection comes from thrift store (and i'm not complaining)' lol i bought my PCD CD within the last year from British Heart Foundation I think

She's still with him? I thought they broke up aeons ago, he grew up near me so he was always in our local paper lol

idk, i never bought a cd at full price. i'm lucky with thrift stores and i usually get what i want. even really old cds like whitney or george michael...

they are back together, i even checked few moments ago. on and off couple i guess. i remember being heavily into f1 when first polish driver debuted but then he had a crash and i don't think he will ever be back in f1, he's doing different races now :(

I liked PCD! I never knew this. Definitely agree with the netizens though, cousins doesn't necessarily mean close to some. For me, my cousins and I were never close, but my older siblings were closer to my cousins. Since we have such a larger family I also have distant cousins as well that I didn't even know existed until FB happened lol.

I still listen to PCD songs. The thing is I wish the other members got some spotlight. They all had solo tracks for their 2nd album and it is not like they couldn't sing. I loved Ashley and Melody's solos. I was annoyed that the 2nd album had songs where Melody actually had a part and not just doing adlibs that were not released as singles. Then by the end they kept releasing songs as PCD ft Nicole. I remember some interview where they asked about that and the other members clearly weren't happy about it.

I wonder if his father is really half spanish/half filipino or maybe filipino of spanish descent (like well, probably the majority of the population) because well, we've all heard the stories about idols who aren't pure korean but don't talk about it bec of xenophobia.

oh what a surprise, he has filipino blood... no wonder he is so short lol .. . nicole is his cousin, but then again all filipino are related in some way or another : we have cousins of first, second and third degree.. and then cousin because of an uncle.. and it goes on and on and on :) all pinoys are related basically. hell i could say that dok2's my cousin trololol
