well this certainly won't help Kpop in America

Jenny Hyun, a U.S born Korean (gyopo) and writer of many songs for Korean pop groups had this to say in response to a Floyd Mayweather comment that said that Jeremy Lin was doing what many other guys in the NBA do every night but he is getting so much extra attention because he is Asian. Now I have to admit I find basketball the one sport to make soccer seem interesting and so do not qualify as an expert by any means. However, this hype seems comparable to Kobe Bryant back in the 90's or Michael Jordan back in the 80's. I'm not sure if Lin is as good, and I do personally think the amount of support he gets from Chinese fans is a bit nuts, especially as it's just because of his race, or at least partially so (he's a US citizen born and raised after all).

However, the responses which run the gambit from a pro-slavery stance to pro-genocide to animal comparisons and a whole lotta fun in between has assured that whenever any Korean band who has had a song written by her performs or does an interview it will come up. This is especially sad for Girls Generation (SNSD) who recently played David Letterman and who have had several songs written by Jenny Hyun. While fans of Asian pop, Jeremy Lin and people who just find this sort of stuff scary have come out against it (I'm happy to see so many Koreans here genuinely shocked by it) it will take a while to fade away. Jenny Hyun's career is over, and while I don't think people who have had songs written by her will be associated with it, it certainly doesn't help the move of Kpop or Korean culture in America.
