Over the last four years, Rafelson Media has steadily built the most successful American production company in all of S.E. Asia. RM has developed a strong foothold and strategic partnerships with the largest Asian entertainment companies, including Yedang, SM Entertainment, Emperor, and most recently CJ Media. CJ Media is the #1 Korean entertainment conglomerate with international exports throughout the region. CJ has nine television channels and owns the largest theater chain in Korea . RM is proud to be the first American company to partner with CJ Media and grow Asian pop culture in the US . Most recently RM Records landed the #1 slot on U.S. Billboard's Dance Chart, featuring SUN, China 's most successful pop artist. This historical moment was a first for all of Asia . In association with RM, CJ is sponsoring the largest Asian Star Search contest ever held in America . Preliminary tryouts will be held October 2nd and the main event will take place on October 9th at the Velvet Room. The list of sponsorships will include not only local businesses, but international brands as well. Los Angels has the largest Korean population in the world (in excess of 700,000), outside of Korea itself. Both local and international press will be attending the event (Korean Times, CNN, E Channel, M*net, Korean MTV, etc.). This represents the beginning of large-scale plans for CJ Entertainment to partner with RM in creating what is sure to be the next generation of the long awaited “Asian Invasion” in America .

Contestants will win prizes such as a free iPod, gift certificates for music, free CD's, free studio time at RMC studios to record their own music, and the chance to sign with RM Records/CJ Media to launch a singing career in the U.S. as well as in Korea.
