There just isn’t a market for korean artists in the american music industry. People are very ignorant about pronunciation. I sense fail is in the horizon.

FAIL like se7en.

seriously, he wasn’t that great in the first place. as always, we’ll get bashed on by american articles and tv reporters by saying, “oh look! an asian who wants to be like chris brown and omarion. how lame!“ -_-

failure just like se7en…

NO. there is nothing remotely distinctive about his talent or image(besides being azn yo!) that will set him apart from other acts today. homeboy, either needs to get a magical haircut and a hit song like rihanna, or change his sound completely.

As much as I love TY he shouldn’t come here.
I mean look at Se7en, he was at the top of his game at Korea[to put it loosely.]  And off he went to the U.S. and you hardly hear from him.  To be honest I don’t think Se7en is going to make it at least not make it big.  During the time he spent here he could’ve just stayed at Korea and kept doing his thing.

he is not even that talented to begin with…i watched some of his perfs and really it wasn’t that great since his voice is quite nasally and too breathy….if taeyang can’t dance and if he is not from bigbang, i doubt it if he can make it as a solo artist coz his voice is really mediocre.

i dont think he’s ready :|

4 “11”-He’s that short?

wait.. i just remember his fail engrish..
ignore above post xD

well to be honest, i really don’t know what people will think BUT if he does go and sing in english and not “engrish” then he might have a shot. His accent can stay because he really can’t do anything about that, but at least he can make his english understandable. When he sang Always, which was old i know, i couldn’t understand alot of what he was saying so i was like “wth?“ so i just listened to the korean version. With U was a better of course so his english is okay now but not as good as what some Americans might expect, including me. He did well solo i guess so if he can remake those songs in English(not engrish) he might have a shot.
oh yea and if he really IS that short then he needs to grow a few inches and then go to America. gosh i’m taller than him and he’s older than me…way older.

hes not 4’11 hes like 5’6 hes shortest of big bang

Se7en isn’t total fail in america..he hasn’t even debuted here yet =/
I think all of them should just stay in korea.

Even if he sings great in english, i dont think he’ll do so hot here in the states. # 1 he’s not ready , # 2 the states is completely different from korea and #3 the americans here are sometimes racist, so unless he can blow them away with his music, he might not have a chance..dont get me wrong, i love big bang and their music, but going solo is hard, and harder here in the states…why not come as a group??

se7en hasn’t fail yet…and he won’t!!! I’ll support his album…if it ever comes and even if I don’t like the genre of the music…I’ll even buy one for each and everyone of my family member even friends…lols…I’m even planning on going to Rain’s movie…
but conclusion: its hard…if they can’t even break into Japan don’t even try here ^_~ its 10x harder…

Wow…not gonna happen. They should sign their artists up to do some American reality show (or something of the sort). It would be publicity and it would be hilarious. Rain (Se7en/Tae Yang/etc) and his Engrish on Dancing With the Stars. Fun stuff…but likewise I doubt they can think of anything to make Kpop singers known (least of all famous) here.

Taeyang in America? I don’t know man.. this is hard.. You can never know until it happens.

he doesn’t have his own style. Since he is trying to copy American artists , Omario, T-Pain, ...... He can’t make anything big in here.

tae yang’s like 5’7-8
he’s not that short~

I really like Tae Yang, and Se7en HOWEVER I really don’t think there’s a market for Korean artists in the west. I think the music style is different, and there’s also a large language barrier.

I’m sure he will make it..
i personally don’t like Rain (for no particular reason), and i’m sure he won’t succeed, but TY, i guess he will, since he got the american style, he’s not a copy of chris and Omarion, he got he’s own style, and i’m sure h"ll make it.
i’m waiting for that day!!^^

succeed?
yeah. no. that’s never gonna happen if he comes to america.
it doesnt matter how talented he is… looking at who’s popular here now?
fame in the US won’t come. im sorry to say it, but it’s true.
i mean, look at se7en and rain. they’ve been performing longer than he is and
look at where they are. ask any american on the street and they’ll have no idea who you’re talking about. sorry taeyang, but it isn’t gonna happen.

I definitely agree with Pijiu.

ekk. no. please please please no.
i think he is completely awesome but,
i would seriously hate to see him fail.
i would much rather he stay in korea/asia and be successful there. 
besides its not like he doesn’t have foreign fans. =)

i think taeyang is better to stay in korea and be a hit there; i would have to see him fail.

nooooo! he should stay in korea with big bang…his pronuctiation[sp?] isnt even that good. if he does go..he would be a bigass failure.
