Black Eyed Peas likes Rain and the Wonder Girls

GhostWriter in General | 11 Jun 2009 - 10:23 AM

Famous American hip hop group, The Black Eyed Peas consisting of members will.i.am, apl.de.ap, Taboo, and Fergie were recently interviewed by a Korean News Station. When asked who their favorite Korean Star was, one of the members stated that they liked Rain and The Wonder Girls.

This isn't the first time they recognized a Korean artist, as will.i.am gave Kero One a personalized video message. It seems like a lot of American artists are interested in Korean acts these days. Hopefully, this time period will be looked back upon as the start of big things for Asian Artists in America. Thanks to Sarah West and wana for the tip.

hong kong knows rain too and very well in fact…i watched this super famous hong kong show <Super Trio Supreme> ...there was a game when you have to do an action for the other members to guess what they’re trying to get through…

The word was RAIN and the celebrities started dancing to rain’s dance…
