The blue-haired 25-year-old who recently won the American Song Contest – the US version of Eurovision – said that eating kimchi was one of her few cultural links to her Korean heritage growing up."That kind of sparked my dream and my drive to become a K-pop artist," said the Tulsa-born rising star, who has been dancing since she was two.
The country has long been a major exporter of overseas adoptees, with hundreds of thousands sent away since the 1950s. "The opposite party must be in search of the other in order for the first party to gain information," the singing star said.However, she has had some success through the internet and DNA testing, and found some cousins in other countries."Hopefully in the future, we can find some of my Korean family here. It would be nice," she said, adding that she now considers Seoul her"second home".
"How can we do staging, what concept would work, what would really grab the American audience while staying true to the K-pop?" she said of their process.
