British Teen to be a Korean Star?

AKP STAFF

Rebecca Strachan, a 20 year old British girl has become an overnight pop sensation in Korea. She and a friend Sharon Schilperoord (18) of Holland, made videos of themselves singing various Korean Songs. They posted these videos on youtube and became instant celebrities, generating 200,000 visits in a short period of time. Rebecca says that she loves korean music and that it was her dream to become a pop star in Korea. Rebecca began studying Japanese at Queen's Mary's College and eventually taught herself Korean. She started having an interest in Korean Music and found Sharon on a kpop online forum. They started sending recorded vocals to each other and then decided to post up videos. From there they became instant sensations. Social networking site Gypsii & record label J-Tune are paying for her trip to Seoul. Gypsii & J-Tune are saying that they want to make Rebecca a star in Korea. There are also some rumors that she might sign a record deal with J-Tune. Sharon was also offered an all expense paid trip to Korea but she declined and said she wanted to finish college first. Many people seem to say that Eastern artists can't make it in the West. Will a Western artist make it big in the East? Only time will tell, but looks like Rain (J-Tune) learned from his mentor (JYP). He can see money signs & opportunities everywhere he looks.
