Hey guys! Check out ASIANPOPPINMUFFINS to order Korean posters (official and unofficial)! She also takes custom orders! If you order a custom poster, you just have to send her an image of good size and quality (it can be a picture you find from the internet or where ever) and she’ll let you know what size it would look good printed as.
She’s located in Singapore and is really easy to work with! Her English is very good. I am having no trouble at all communicating with her about my order.
Particularly if any of you are looking to get your hands on a copy of the Epik High Lovescream poster (that is out of print at YesAsia.com and is quite the heartbreak for many fans) she’d be an easy person to ask to order from since she can print it for you in a custom order (I don’t know if she’ll keep the image I sent her though. so you might want to have your own)…though the Lovescream poster will look good and be the same image as the official poster it will be a good deal smaller than the original since the image I sent her was from the internet and not of a huge size. It’ll only be A3, but if you’re desperate (as I was) it’s better than not having the poster at all! And you get to stare at Tablo, Tukutz, and Mithra’s pretty faces allllll dayyyyy long!
Here are some examples of unofficial posters she sells…The image at the top are examples of official posters she sells (Overall. lots of Dong Bang Shin Ki. Big Bang. Wonder Girls…just to name a few).
Check out Se7en on BET, tomorrow (2009-06-02) 6 pm (EST?)
Hell yeah! “The First Asian Artist to ever have their MV Premiered on BET!” – allkpop
Here’s his video Girl’s feat. Lil’ Kim:
I felt like I was going to die. Body. pulsing, beating, crashing with the waves of the crowd. Lungs. collapsing onto themselves with the weight of the air. My head felt light as I stared up into his eyes. Skin slick, pruned. I was wearing a different shirt by the end of it. A darker shade. So loud. Not loud enough.
My hand touched his.
A sensory experience. I felt so high–more high than any one induced by toxic substances. I felt so in love. so whole. so alive.
This concert was an experience of a lifetime. Tablo’s every word, every note pierced my soul and I know I could have died right there, in complete and utter bliss, at peace with the world for the first time of my life.
It was exhilarating.
They are really a sight to see–Epik High. Their opening acts were also quiet formidable. Far-East Movement for one definitely emphasized the aspect of on-stage performance. They stepped out from a spaceship from 3009, clad in thick space suits that I’m sure made it hard to breathe.
I don’t think I could coherently describe the wonder that was this concert.
My 魂 is soaring.
Epik High’s Map the Soul World Tour
Today, Epik High had their first concert in America at the House of Blues in Los Angeles, California. I’m sure it was AMAZING! A friend of mine texted me while she was waiting in line. SOOO jealous! Seriously. But just everyone wait! Epik High’s NYC concert is coming up on Friday, 2009-05-22 at Irving Plaza, New York City, NY (17 Irving Pl.). Doors open at 6:00 PM, but I’m sure fans will be lining up around 2 (or earlier).
Oh, they also have a meet and greet at the Verizon Store in Secaucus, NJ on Thursday, 2009-05-21 (200 Mill Creek Dr.). BE THERE.
I’ll tell you all about it later, but in the mean time everyone enjoy a song from their latest album of the same title: Map the Soul
I suppose there’s no better way to start a blog than by talking about a really cool event that just went down…KOLLABORATION!
“ABOUT KOLLABORATION
Kollaboration is an Asian Pacific Islander American/Canadian (APIA/C) organization and Movement that was founded in 2000 by Executive Director Paul “PK” Kim. Under the umbrella of ProKreation Productions – a cutting edge, pioneering production company promoting entertainment in the Asian American community – Kollaboration became officially incorporated as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in January of 2006.
“WHAT IS KOLLABORATION?
Kollaboration is an annual event and movement created by a small group of professional young Asian Pacific Islander Americans/Canadians, volunteering their time and skills to celebrate the vast talents of their community and hopefully bring them into the mainstream.
“WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
It is evident that APIA/Cs are often categorized into a certain image. APIA/Cs may find it increasingly difficult to get jobs outside the “model minority” or “foreigner” role. Such barriers often result in the lack of APIA/Cs in mainstream entertainment industries. Thus, APIA/Cs are not only unfairly portrayed but also disproportionately underrepresented in the mainstream media.
“Evidently, our youth are left with few visible role models and a narrowed pool of aspirations.
Kollaboration is the stepping-stone.

I don’t think I have ever seen so many Asians all crowded together in one place until last night. Yesterday a bunch of my friends and sponsors (AASP/API-SPAM) drove into LA to see this show. It featured the talents of David Choi, Jane Lui, Jazmin, Kina Grannis, Kenichi Ebina, Lilybeth Evardome, and Paul Dateh with guest performances by Fanny Pak, Kaba Modern, Jo Koy, and BoA (James Kyson Lee, aka ANDO from Heroes was also there judging the performances)! All of their performances were extremely exciting, though I think what really made my night (and for pretty stupid reasons might I add) was getting to see AARON YOO! He was sitting in the VIP section only three rows in front of me. Quite frankly it was pretty embarrassing. I haven’t had too many opportunities in my life when I’ve gotten to see celebrities up close so I’ve always told people “Whatever, celebrities are people too. I don’t care more about them than I do about other people!” Well…I guess when it comes down to it, I’m just like every other squealing fangirl out there. Ugh. Either way it was still extremely exciting to see him in person, though I failed at getting a photograph of him or his autograph. So sad.
All of the performances were absolutely amazing! What a great night.
Oh I’d also like to mention that Jo Koy was especially amusing. If you have the time you should definitely check out his stand up performances.
It’s exciting how much great talent there is out there.
