Interview with PK
BY JOHN LEE

As the 'mak-nae' of 5 children, born and raised in the incredibly boring city of Burbank, little PK grew up thinking of ways to entertain his family and friends. 

Among his friends he is better known as PK squared, which stands for his name and also for Pastor's Kid. (and we all know PKs have some issues...) 

PK has hosted a radio show on Radio Korea, was a winner on Ed McMahon's ‘Next Big Star,’ and has performed at Kascon, Kalc, Texas, Colorado, Yale, UCLA, UCR, and UC Berkeley. 

His true passion is elevating all Asian Americans. He produces an annual Korean American talent show called KOLLABORATION (www.kollaboration.org) which drew 1,200 people last year.  He is also producing a show for Asian Americans, called ELEVATION.

He is the weekly host of The Saturday Midnight Show at The World Famous Laugh Factory in Hollywood and would REALLY appreciate it if all of you came to support the show when you're free.   www.prokreation.com/laughfactory Get Yo ( | ) to the show and Laugh!  Laughter is medicine!

Ktown213:  So you wrote a song called, "It Costs a Lot to be Your Oppa?"
PK:  To hear some of my songs concerning relevant aspects of Korean American culture, you can hear them on www.seepk.com.  There are a lot of important songs such as, I LOVE YOU KTOWN GIRL, DJ AH JUH SHI, SONG FOR UHMMA, SEOUL FOOD, and many more.

Kt213:  So what is the biggest problem of being an Asian guy today?
PK:  We're just not viewed as attractive.  If you see a FINE white girl with a black or Latino guy, people think he must be a good lover.  If you see a fine white girl with an Asian guy, people think, he must be her tutor.

But here's How Asian guys pick up on girls in tha '03...

"Hey girl, are you on Friendster? Do you have Xanga? What's your SN baby?  You know I saw you on www.ktown213.com!"

"No, I don't want your digits. that's so '02. I wanna get on your site, look at your pictures, and give you a hot testimonial. How does that sound?"

Kt213:  How about Asian guys that don't go clubbing?
PK:  Well, if they go to church, here's the best Christian pick up line.

"Hey, Nice Bible."

You can follow that up with a myriad of lines such as...

"What version?"  "Is it leather?" or "How much does it cost to get your name on it?"

Here's the second best Christian pick up line.

"What kind of doughnut is that?"

Kt213:  What do you love about K-Town?
PK:  Too many things, but the greatest memory of K-Town was the World Cup.  I loved everything about the World Cup except our theme, 'Be the Reds...'   Beeeeee the Reds?  We got our International soccer theme from Morning Glory... "The sunshine is like fire in your eyes to Be the Reds..."

The entire world is watching us and we look like a huge communist rally with 'BE THE REDS' on our shirt... You would think before that printed 40 million shirts, they would ask one English tutor in Korea and say, Hey, does this make any sense?

Kt213:  So where are the finest girls in LA located?
PK:  Come on now...they're all at www.ktown213.com baby babeee!

Kt213:  Ha ha, thanks PK, that was hilarious.
PK:  No problem!
