A lot of hype, another delay for Son Dambi

eunicec in TV / Movies | 11 Mar 2009 - 09:05 AM

WGM's alumni Son Dambi has had a slight setback in her career yet again. She was supposed to begin filming "Hype Nation," a hip-hop English language movie early next month. Hype Nation seems to be the perfect name for the movie, a lot of Hype but not much besides that... besides delays.

Son Dambi was supposed to play the female lead named Esther. However, due to financial distress related to the economic recession, filming has been delayed yet again. It seems that this project already had a hard enough time getting off the ground, with an initial delay back in January and months of planning. In the mean time, she's keeping herself busy. She has plans to continue with the release of her next album at the end of this month. Son Dambi is also keeping busy with acting lessons and practicing her English. She also has plans to star in an upcoming drama.

Poor girl... all she wants to do is speak English and make her US debut too just like the other pop acts, like Se7en, BoA, and Rain.

So BoA and Se7en will be leading the music scene while Dambi and Rain will be leading the acting scene?

How ironic since Dambi is considered the female Rain and Se7en is BoA’s male equivalent.

As much as I like Son Dambi, I can’t help but feel that Hype Nation will be the hip-hop dancing equivalent of Speed Racer.

I think my favorite part of the movie will have to be how a group of black guys who can only speak English hide in South Korea from the most powerful yakuza in South Korea who have big government connections.
