The New Korean Fusion
Dallas Observer

Terry Song can’t seem to get a break in real estate. When he opened Goghee To Go on Inwood Road with wife Janice in 2010, he knew homeless people were likely to congregate at the nearby liquor store. What he wasn’t prepared for was the panhandling that would occur while his customers waited in the drive-thru line to place their orders.

Six Korean Pop Artists To Watch After “Gangnam Style”Dallas Observer G-Dragon The frontman of Korean boy band Big Bang (another YGE project), G-Dragon’s solo output represents the Korean pop take on Western male-oriented hip-hop. G-Dragon’s music shows the curious duality among male pop stars, presenting macho postures (as in the video above for “One of a Kind”) against cloying (and occasionally sour) seduction.

Black, Korean Leaders Come Together to Give a Scholarship to the Girl who Never Missed a Day of SchoolDallas Observer At exactly noon on Monday, 16-year-old Bria Bradshaw and her mother Charmaine walked into Tommy Pak’s Kwik Stop in South Dallas, then stopped short. There was a horde of men and women in the convenience store, black and Korean, and most were in suits. There were video cameras set up toward the back, by the beer fridges, and photographers were on one knee, furiously clicking away. “Surprise!” everyone yelled. Bria still didn’t know what was going on. Then, someone procured the money: three large checks equaling $13,500 that would go toward her college tuition when she graduates from Hillcrest High School next year. That’s when Charmaine started to cry.
