Ktown213: Erica and Lisa, how about a quick intro? How long have you guys been modeling, and what made you decide to get into it?
Erica: I don't consider ourselves models. However, we did one magazine cover last April for Dragsports. We were interested in modeling but never got serious due to our busy schedule.
Lisa: Well for me, since last year. I always wanted to model but I wasnt tall enough. But one day, one of my friends who searched for models for his magazine asked me and my sister to be on the cover in Fukumi and Fukuyu outfits with a racer dressed as Austin Power. You can see the magazine cover at www.dragsports.com for the April issue, 2003.
KT213: You guys were born in Korea, grew up in Japan, and now you reside in California. Whats it been like growing up in different parts of the world?
Erica: It was always tough at first but once we started to talk, make friends, learn new things, and go out, it really became fun.
Lisa: Its very interesting and confusing at first but I enjoyed the experience so much. Hopefully, I can live somewhere else again.
KT213: Any recent projects? Where can we see more of Erica and Lisa Kim?
Erica: Our recent project was to finish our first debut album, called Fantasy." The genre is hybrid. Most of our songs are Dance-pop but we have a few songs that have good cross-over between pop and urban music. We have all kinds for the world market. The album will be distributed globally and in MP3 format in English, Korean, and Japanese. They are already available at http://www.migrecords.com, http://www.fantasytwins.com, and http://www.musicwatchavision.com.
Lisa: After our first album was done, we had to start the second album immediately. We wrote most of our songs on our album in English, Japanese, and Korean and that means we almost always have to write songs. It is very tough but we can do it.
KT213: Wow, songs in three languages?
Erica: As you see American Idol, writing song is a tough major. But writing in 3 different languages is tougher. But we can do it he he he he
Lisa: Writing in Japanese and Korean was easy but putting them in melodies was hard. We had to change words around to fit the melodies.
KT213: Do you guys ever hang out in K-Town? If yes, where? If not, why not?
Erica: I would love to hang out if I had time. I work from the time I get up and until the time I go to bed. If I can go to the supermarket for grocery, I would feel lucky.
Lisa: Oh, yeah, we love to go to Korean Arcades, PC rooms, coffee shops, bars, clubs, pool places, restaurants, supermarkets and all kinds of stores. But Mainly we go there for delicious Kimchee!
KT213: Any funny stories growing up, where people constantly mixed you two up?
Erica: We switched our class rooms once. Everybody was giggling except the teacher. Of course, the teacher had no idea why the whole class was giggling. This other time I broke up with my ex-boyfriend and I was lonely. And at that time Lisa just got a new one. I asked Lisa to give me all the phone numbers of cute guys she met once, and I got myself a nice date and told him I am not Lisa. He didnt have a problem as he didnt know Lisa personally. He was glad at least one of us was available for him, ha ha.
Lisa: In many cases, some of my friends dont know I have a twin sister and they see Erica in streets or stores thinking its me. Erica doesnt respond to my friends as she doesnt know them. (Erica: People stare at me for no reason!) When I saw my friends, I would be very friendly. They thought I had two personalities and thought I had a serious mental problem. They thought I was a scary person, ha ha.
KT213: What do you guys like to do during your free time?
Erica: I like listening to Electronica music, so I would say going to clubs. My favorite place in LA is Spundae. Or sometimes I listen to online radio for Electronica/Dance music. I go on chat rooms a lot just to talk to people. I dont have time to socialize and I try to socialize in chat rooms. Isn't it sad? Ha ha. I play chess online even though I usually never win. I also like to spend time at Best Buys!
Lisa: Surfing the Internet, reading many cool science and entertainment articles in Japanese, English, and Korean. I also like going to nice restaurants, playing video games, and sports. Please invite us to play basketball, volleyball, racquetball, tennis, softball, and on and on. Lets compete against each other!
KT213: Ha ha, we'll be sure to leg you guys know if we ever host a sports tournament. Now, what are your turn-ons and turn-offs?
Erica: My turn on's are guys that are mature, smart, funny, loyal, family-oriented, and successful. I am such a business-minded, not-so-family person that I always wanted a guy that valued family the most. I like a guy that leads but at the same time can be flexible instead of the whatever you want kind of guys.
My turn off's would be guys that talk too much, bossy, closed-minded, drug addicts, and etc.
Lisa: My turn on's are positive thinkers, someone who's wise and smart, athletic men, giver and receiver, a true gentleman, and a man with a big heart. My turn off's are drug addicts, alcoholics, no future goals, who gives up easily, scared of being in love, liars, bossy person, deceiving person, lazy person, not friendly, stuck up, etc. You know the type!
KT213: Ha ha, well we thank you for your time, and good luck with your careers! Im sure well be hearing more of you very shortly!
Erica: Thank you. We would love to support your organization and K-Town. Just let us know!!!
