HEY BEAUTIFUL APA's FOR PROGRESS!!
NYC Korean-American actresses Elena Chang and Sam Yim have made it to the Semi-Finals for KoreAM's Krazy K-Pop competition!
We are asking for your support on this project that means a lot to them on a deeply personal and professional level.
There is a kpop phenomenon going on (or rather, Korean/Japanese music video obsession). This queer take on Taeyang's "Wedding dress" made it to the semi-finals in L.A. and has the potential to be selected and screened to be a part of a massive Asian-American Hollywood event.
This would be the first ever queer Korean remake of Taeyang's "Wedding Dress".
As progressive as the community has become, there's still a lot of work to be done and my goal is to reach audiences to challenge them to question the traditional notion of marriage and recognize that possibility for universal love through this m.v.
I would sincerely love to have your support on this !
***Voting closes this Wednesday, Nov. 17th and my team is really imploring for our community to help get this queer asian take on a k-pop video re-make to represent at the ceremony.
This is the only lgbt-wedding theme-love story submission in the finals, so it is extremely important to get the word out and show folks that queer love stories CAN EXIST in modern day Asian pop videos.
Unfortunately it's ultimately in the online voting process in determining which videos make it to the "top".
"a different kind of wedding dress"

Rock on, guys :)
This video competition is very exciting and I certainly hope that the queer remake of Taeyan'g Wedding Dress wins! This video has everything: love, humor, friendship, sadness, loss, regret and longing. As someone who identifies as a Queer/Lesbian Korean American woman, I am thrilled to see this video rise to the top! I think it would have been even lovelier to see the two women get together at the end. It would help if U.S. laws recognized marriage & immigration equality for all but then that's a different kind of longing...
