Due to scheduling conflicts, many other stars couldn’t make it for yesterday recording. But a second recording has been scheduled for 5th June.
Park Jin Young was very enthusiastic about this project as he composed the track “We are the Asia”. He had just flown in from America a few hours earlier and then immediately headed for the recording studio to direct proceedings.
The stars who lend their voices all wore t-shirts with the I L♥ve Asia logo and started recording from 11am without even stopping for lunch until finally ending it at 3pm in the afternoon. Figure skater Kim Yuna had some trouble initially since it was her first collaboration with so many artistes. But she was soon able to adapt and resumed her cheerfulness.
Park Jin Young expressed, “To be able to cast their busy schedules to one side, every artiste beautiful and lovely hearts to want to do something for the victims of the earthquake has really touched me. I hope that our little effort will bring hope to all Asians who are suffering and in pain.”
The track “We Are the Asia” will be recorded and made into a digital single, DVD, Making film and shown during performances in China. It will also be released in Korea, China, Japan plus other Asian countries. All proceeds received for this I L♥ve Asia project will be donated to the Sichuan earthquake relief efforts.
Its really cool to see korean artistes gathering to help out the victims in China.
very nice!
I’m curious as to what “all other Asian countries” really means since I have found that the majority of Asia is left out of the term “Asia”. People typically ignore anything that is not far-East Asia as Asia. I am all for coming together for a cause that extends a helping hand to our fellow human beings, but that doesn’t mean it should be done at the expense of isolating certain groups from their entitlement of such a project. I don’t know much about this project but I really hope they are talking about ALL of Asia.
cool….chae yeon hwaiting!~
I’m a recent Chae Yeon fan. I found out from Youtube that she went to HKG by herself to take part in the fund-raising concert held there. She flew 4 hours n went straight to the venue for just a 1-minute brief talk (with the help of Master Jackie Chan as her translator). She was the only Korean artist to go there. She has such a big heart and for that I
love her n support her! CY-ssi, hwaiting!
JYP is so very talented in making this collaboration. He may not be a good singer but he excells in being a mentor, talent-scouter & producer! Good job, JYP-ssi!
