How did you first discover K-Pop?		3 Years ago my friend showed me Korean movie “My little Bride (어린 신부)” and after watching it a become addicted to Korean movies, dramas and especially music. First Korean song that I heard and loved was “Because I`m a Girl” by K.I.S.S. I`ve never heard such a touching and beautiful songs before, It was something new for me. In a short time I already knew all famous bands and songs in K-Pop. My favourites are 2NE1, Big Bang, CNBlue, B2st. Me and my band cover one of the Super Junior songs “It`s You” for MBC Star audition, we didn`t win but attracted many people who liked it and we also have been shown at Korean TV programJ
If you are a member of K-Pop fan club, please give details of your recent contributions to the group.		Unfortunately, I`m not a member of K-pop fan club, but I would love to join.
What is your plan for the furure?		At this moment I`m studying at university and my subject is Politics and International Relations. I`m studying it not because I like it, but because my parents want me to get a good degree. My dream and life is all in music, i`m musician and I want music to be my career, my hobby, my everything. And because K-pop is my favorite genre I am thinking to go to Korea to study at Korean National University of Art in a Department of Composition. Sounds a little bit crazy but That is my big and deliberate plan for the future and I`m working hard to be able to make it come true.
If you had the opportunity to go to Korea, what is the first thing you would like to do?		I think it would be Hongdea (Hong-ik University). My Korean friends told me that this area is the most hottest spot in Korea. There are so many clubs, pubs and etc.. it`s a place where you can meet many of young fashionable people.
Why do you want to be part of this programme?		I love Korean people, I love Korean music, food, movies, language, but I still can`t say that I know what It is - Korean culture. I want to learn more about it. It is very interesting how did K-pop developed, where did I t come from. Also it would be nice to know about Korean ethics and culture basics, so I could feel myself a little bit more confident, when I go to Korea. I want to be part of this programme because It`s a very good opportunity to learn about something that I really like and I`m interested in.
Is there anything in particular you want to learn about Korean Culture?		The most important thing that I want to learn about is K-pop, it`s history and how does k-pop industry works, how did it become so famous and global. It`s very interesting, who writes these amazing songs for K-pop artists and who are K-pop artists, where the big stars came from and how did they become K-pop celebrities. Also I`m curious what is a relationship between modern K-pop music and Korean culture in particular.
