Hyori rejects lovecalls to advance into American market

[-ochre.livejournal.com]

It has been revealed that top star Lee Hyori has received lovecalls to advance into the American market but had refused the offers.

The reason is that there are plans for Hyori to venture overseas. Mnet revealed, “We are currently working on Hyori moving to other Asian markets like China, Taiwan, HongKong etc. We may also be looking at Japan.”

“The idea of Hyori moving to other overseas is as welcoming as moving to America. But we saw more of a need for careful consideration for advancing into America. Also Hyori will need a long term plan into her overseas advancement. Hence this is what we see as feasible.”

Hyori has always been one of the top entertainers in Korea in 10 years of her debut. But her overseas activities have also been lacking, and seeing the several stars like Se7en and BoA venturing into America, there has been a lot of interests into whether Hyori will follow so.

Hyori will release a full length album in the later half of this year.

Me too, I feel like if/when Se7en and BoA go back to Korea they wont be the same.

Yeah. Like when Rain came back and was on those variety shows, there was this unspoken "FAILURE" in the room. Maybe that was just me projecting, but no ever really talked about how he didn't even get close to breaking the American market.

As much as I love my Korean singers, I want the to stay in Asia. They just get lost in the overwhelming size of the US market.

Umm, did Rain release a single in America?

[off-road-ninjas.livejournal.com]

Not that I know of, but wasn't that the end goal? He was trying to become "known" in the US, right?

I'm not a fan of Rain (or an anti) so I haven't really followed his efforts in the US.

[cherrypop.livejournal.com]

OK. Technically he IS known, but he's known as Stephen Colbert's dance / Time magazine rival. Unfortunatley that's how he broke into the US market. (insert lulz)

[iluvkidnappers.livejournal.com]

[cherrypop.livejournal.com]

i, notafox wish she stay in Hanguk because it's nice. also, i am here.

[cherrypop.livejournal.com]

Lee Hyori's U Go Girl video received a lot of love when Perez Hilton posted it. But advancing in the USA market takes a lot of extremely precise marketing in the right places. And I'm not seeing that with BoA. Se7en's not doing too bad though.

[fashionbang.livejournal.com]

hah, what's she gonna do? learn japanese? rofl

i'm so glad she has the sense not to go to america though. she should def. stay in korea~

[xcherryblossomx.livejournal.com]

I think that if she goes to the US she would be like a korean Devon Aoki... someone who is considered pretty/sexy but not really relevant

[yumi-maki.livejournal.com]

Stay in Korea, Hyori unni - where they appreciate you!

I don't even like Hyori that much but I have to say this.

If they want to market her in the US then they'd have to market her smartly and AVOID the failures of the stars who tried for the US before her. Her looks can get her far but not as far as she/the label wants her to go.

The only way for her to be somewhat recognizable in the US is to maybe follow what Rain did. Sure, he didn't get that far but he's been in two movies and his name is internationally recognized (my offline friends recognized the picture of him I used as my phone wallpaper :o).
