May 11, 2007A challenge is always beautiful. Top star Se7en is currently recording music in Washington with local producer Rich Harrison. Last autumn, Se7en joined hands with the said producer, who also produced Beyonce’s “Crazy in Love”, to prepare for his US debut.
Two days after his concert on April 7 at the Seoul Gymnastics Stadium, Se7en headed for the US. He met in Los Angeles Amerie to record their duet song “Take Control”.
Since there was no assurance that Se7en would be returning in Korea, an e-mail interview was made with him by Star News. Se7en, who was in the recording studio, did not mind the time difference between Korea and the US and went on with the exchange of emails.
“The reaction of Netizens is considerably hot”, said the reporter.
“Oh, really? I will do my best to finish this interview”, Se7en sent together with a laugh.
Since you came to the US, what have you been doing each day?
▶ The producer makes, records music… I’ve been doing a lot of music work. If I have time, I exercise and also rest.You’re in the US to work on songs, how’s the progress? Are you confident that you can enter the Billboard?
▶ It’s a 50-50 thing. (? not sure) Entering the Billboard is important but I’m very happy that I’m able to do my dream. I’ll work very hard to be able to reap good results.Have you been “working” with local foreign women? ^^
▶ Where I’m at now, there’s a small chance of meeting people. I’m busy with music work so there’s almost no opportunity for that.You’ve meet local artists in America? What can you say about them?
▶ I recently met and worked with Amerie and it was really nice. She praised my music and style and that I’ll forever remember. When I formally debut, I would like to receive good reviews.Rain will be holding a concert there in June, do you plan on going?
▶ I heard about this and if my schedule permits it, I want to go. I would like to give my support.You debuted as an actor in “Palace S”. What did you feel after doing it?
▶It was a valuable life experience. To work as an actor was quite a new challenge and experience that is valuable and I learned so much from doing it.
What kind of role would you want to have in your next project? Do you already have a concrete plan?
▶ Since I’m in the US and will be doing activities in Japan, I have no concrete plans. But if in the future I’d be given a chance to work in a good project, I’d like to do it.You regretted that your 4th album activities were short?
▶ It was short but I worked with more zest. I was able to give a good stage. I ended my activities with the “747 Concert” in April. What I regret is that I didn’t have many activities. Also, the fans were also sad. ^^Living in a foreign country, what in Korea do you miss most?
▶ I miss Korean food the most. Isn’t it that most Koreans miss their mothers’ cooking? My mom’s cooking is the one I miss most.On Parents’ day, you were not with them but what gift did you give them?
▶ I wasn’t able to give them a gift. But I called them this morning.If you weren’t a singer, what would have you become?
▶ Since I’ve always dreamt to become a singer, I couldn’t think of what I would have become if I weren’t one. However, if I were in a different career, I would do my best in that field.How do you see yourself at 30 years old?
▶ By 30, I’d be doing what I still haven’t done in this field. It seems that I’d still be a singer by that time to spread my music to the entire world. ^^Aside from being a singer and an actor, what challenge would you like to take?
▶ There are various challenges in being a singer and actor. It is a challenge for me to show how I developed in those fields.
For your Korean fans, what would you like to tell them about your plans (album, acting)?▶ When we meet again with my 5th album, I would like to show a Se7en who has developed. I’m working hard and please watch out for me. Please give your support until the end. Stay happy and healthy!! Peace~

People are planning to go to Rain’s concert, watch out for our boy numero 7!
and one more thing … this guy learned a new word “peace” ???!!!?? he keeps saying that lately .. we saw it in the video now here?! hmmm good job se7enie. .. bet Rain doesn’t know that yet!

This is the rough translation.. . Sorry there are so many words I don’t know in Korean and even worse I can’t find their meanings in English. Endless apologies on my part … and after doing this I realized I can’t even get my English right .. everything is backward in Korean … verbs are at the end .. so you need to pull them in front and add the rest of good stuff .. which makes it so awkward to read … so I revise them for the 3rd time to sound readable! Big clap to all those Koreans learned how to speak English!
So here it is my very rough translation .. it drained all my energy *zzzzzzzz

Singer rain separating from his company after 5 yearThe world tour will end at the end of June and the contract of singer Rain after 5 years ends with JP entertainment. I donno why it says (11th ?) but the contract period ended without a renewal. JYP representatives revealed, that the discussion came in a way to accomplish the renewing but then something like we wanted the best for the both sides.
This line is so hard to understand … but I think it’s talking about how Rain debut with JYP in 2002 and got where he is today. Also says in this situation there is also a big possibility of Rain coming up with his individual company
홍 Representative ?!!? my ***** dictionary says 홍 means red (?)
But I guess it’s the name of the dude! The Representative Mr. Hoong says Rain last April met producer Park in NY and got an advice from him with his future plans.With 5 year contract coming to end Rain will reveal his final decision by the end of the June and it is difficult situation for him. Currently the world tour is in the process to advance the public performance subjected by Star M and JYP company, in order to come to tie in 3 person contracts for Rain.
So basically till the end of the June he won’t say anything till the world tour ends
and at the end usual stuff we already got used to .. it brags about how last year Rain was selected in Times magazine for the 100 most influential people in the world and how his world tour was such and such call it a large scale project through Asia and the United States.[source]

Narrator: This year, he’s gonna invade the U.S. music market.
Singer Se7en’s special encounter; our camera was there.Se7en: Hi, I’m Se7en. I’m in the U.S., I came here to co-work with this gorgeous lady. Let me introduce her to you guys, AMERIE!
Amerie: 안녕하세요. 에므리입니다. [an njŋ ha se jo, E-m(u)-ri ip ni da] (Hi, I’m E-me-ri[e-m(u)-ri] = Amerie)-Video: 1 Thing by Amerie-
Narrator: Amerie, who Se7en met this time, is a Korean-American RnB singer,and she’s popular not only in the U.S., but also worldwide.
-English conversation about teaching each other, the album, concert-
Se7en: What she means… is under here, as subtitles. Hehehe.
Narrator: The reason why they met is to record her album.
We could notice her singing ability in the studio. Se7en was listening to her singing very seriously. This time, his turn. Se7en’s recording started. They were enjoying recording process rather than working, so that we could feel their warm air.
Listening to their recording, both of them were satisfied.
They had fun with each other, looks so close.
This time, Amerie tried to teach him how to dance, but maybe she didn’t know he’s a dancing king.
Anyway, it seems that they were really enjoying recording process.-About Amerie’s korean writing…-
Se7en: Se7en, 사랑하기 “대”문에 [sa raŋ ha gi "dæ" mun e]. Hehe.
Amerie: Hehe.
Se7en: “때”[tæ], “때”[tæ]
Narrator: Suddenly, there begins writing-a-name-in-Korean-letters class in the recording.
Amerie: Oh, “때”[tæ]! 사랑하기 때문에 [sa raŋ ha gi tæ mun e]!
Se7en: Eh..
Amerie: What’s so funny?
Se7en: I dunno whether I’m right or wrong. Kekeke.
Amerie: 사랑하기 때문에 [sa raŋ ha gi tæ mun e]!-English conversation about her name in Korean & English and writing a name in red-
Narrator: Is the Korean language class over, right?
They started recording together this time. She’ll release the album that Se7en is featured on and come to Korea on 24th, 25th of May.
We’re expecting her concert even from now!Se7en: Everyone watching Mnet Wide Entertainment News, Amerie will do concerts on 24th, 25th May. Please come and enjoy the show.
I want to be there, but I can’t. What a shame. Maybe next time, we’ll try to show you our performance together.Amerie: Thanks! (감사합니다! [gam sa hap ni da])
Se7en: Thanks! (감사합니다! [gam sa hap ni da])
Amerie: I love you! (사랑해요! [sa raŋ hæ jo])
Se7en: I love you! (사랑해요! [sa raŋ hæ jo])Narrator: With featuring on Amerie’s new album, Se7en is preparing to release his U.S. single in this summer, it would be good to expect lucky Se7en’s successful debut soon.
Please ignore the Romanization in the brackets … it’s messed up .. i didn’t wanna change them cuz that will alter the original credit … but ignore them … just wanted to warn u before walking around saying those thinking u speak Korean lol!!!
ooooooooo people i just saw the weirdest thing ever!!! someone mentioned about Amerie’s wikipedia page here before … that in there they wrote her first language is Korean … and now she is now only “conversational” in the Korean… but GOD after this video came out … i think they should better change what they wrote in there … not to be mean or anything .. i have all the respect in the world for this girl … but seriously that Korean piece we heard doesn’t seem to have to come from someone who is speaking it at home *rolling eyes* next thing we know .. we make her so pissed off … she makes a video just to prove the point .. but sweetie .. hmmm should have though about it before that comes out T___T
According to wikipedia:
Amerie’s first language is Korean. However, after the family left Korea, Amerie’s mother made a conscious effort to limit the use of Korean with her daughters out of fear that it would impede their development of English proficiency. In an interview with KoreAm Journal, Amerie stated that she is now only “conversational” in the Korean language and speaks it at home with her mother, Angela,
and seems like she is around the net a lot ^^ the thing we heard her explain in the video about her name and the tattoo .. i really wondered why she is so pissed at that cuz if u watch other version of the video (check it here) i donno why the link doesn’t work
http://www.diodeo.com/id=entertaintv&movie=000589555&pt_code=01
so any ways, she clearly says .. yeah some ppl said she didn’t spell it right in Korean .. i know how to spell my name?!!!” are coming from the piece written in the wiki .. Amerie it’s alright sweetie … ken chana yo!
Amerie also bears a tattoo featuring her given name in Korean script on her lower back, which can be seen in the music video for “1 Thing”. The tattoo does not directly translate to Amerie, but “Emeuri” (에므리) while the Korean media pronounces her name “Eimeori” (에이머리) however. Amerie is noted for signing her name in both English and Korean when giving autographs.
