ELFs hold onto your chairs because there’s some exciting news for you to hear! If you live in the States, you know what the TV show “Glee” is, right? The Golden Globe Award-winning show is gearing up for its return with a third season, the first episode premiering on September 20th. What’s really exciting is that some KPOP will be heard on the third episode!
Rumor has it that for the season’s third episode, “Asian F“, Harry Shum Jr.’s character Mike Chang will be singing and dancing to Super Junior’s “Mr. Simple“! In the episode, Mike scores an A- on his chemistry test, or in other words, an Asian fail (according to stereotypes). His dad then wants him to drop out of New Directions and focus more on his studies, leaving Mike conflicted about what to do.
So if this really is true, then I can see why the picked the song. The lyrics fit perfectly with the situation presented: “There must be times when my performance goes up then down tooIt’s okay, it’s also good to rest then keep going, because everything has its time”.
Fingers crossed that this is really true! “Asian F” will air on October 4th, so be sure to tune in!
But really. Just the though of a KPOP song being on a national American Television show?
While we wait to see if this is true, go ahead and read Jinra’s interview with Harry Shum.
