[t-domination.livejournal.com]

I am South Korean Singer, Rapper, Composer, Dancer and Creator of Gangnam Style PSY. AMA

I recently read you went to Berklee college of music up here in Boston. I've always had the impression that pop music isn't typically what Berklee students are interested in producing. I imagine this might just be misconception that I have, however. Still, with this in mind:

• How do you think Berklee prepared you for a career in K-Pop? What things that you learned translated well (or didn't translate) to that style?
• Were you interested in producing K-Pop style music while you were at Berklee, or did your interests change?

1. unfortunately i didn't attend class that much. sorry!

2. when i was in college i was young and stupid so i thought i cannot learn creative things from other people like professors. i taught myself. but nowadays sometimes i regret but things worked out ok.

My Korean friend introduced me to the TV show Infinity Challenge, and we spent our weekends watching it in college! Loved your duet with Noh Hong-chul.
