Korea’s favorite hip-hop couple Tiger JK and Yoon Mirae were celeb guests at the Stop Trafficking of Children & Adolescents event in Seoul today (August 31st). Three thousand participants were asked to write their thoughts on the campaign as well as make hand prints with the children in attendance.
Btw…

The couple won the Most Influential Stars Award on MNET’s 20s Choice Award on August 26th.

Tiger JK is planning to make his move over to the U.S. music industry. According to DrunkenCamp.com, he said:
“I had a dream when I started working with music, so I was always satisfied with what little I had… But through twitter, I realized that many people (the U.S.) show interest in me and YoonMirae.”
My thoughts: If Tiger JK decides to seriously pursue a U.S. music career I believe he will succeed. Why? Because he’s mad talented, a heck of a rapper, knows English and the big kicker – the African-American hip hop community will embrace and love him!

Jet Li and Jackie Chan attended the inaugural opening of the 2010 Beijing SportAccord Combat Games celebration on Saturday. The sporting competition is billed as the biggest comprehensive international sports event to be held in the capital since the Summer Olympic Games in 2008.
Li, 47, is actively campaigning at the SportAccord Games for Chinese Taichiquan, or shadow boxing, to be officially included in future Olympic Games.
“It’s my dream to help Taiji push-hands become an official Olympic sport. I’ll spare no efforts to make that happen in 20 years,” said Li.
In the meantime, Jet Li’s latest Hollywood flick The Expendables has earned $82,010,000 in the U.S., $3,850,015 internationally; generating a total of $85,860,015 worldwide as of August 29th.
Btw, Stallone recently told the media the real reason behind Jean-Claude Van Damme’s refusal to star in The Expendables.
“I wanted to set Jean-Claude against Jet Li, but he didn’t want to lose to Jet. He didn’t think that was cool,” Stallone told The Sunday Times.
My thoughts: For Van Damme to think he could/should beat Jet Li in film (and possibly in real life) is…well…laughable at best.
