Se7en is going back to Korea ... this fall, this according to an interview with Yonhap news and YG Entertainment CEO / Former Seo Taiji member Yang Hyun Suk.
Before he returns to Korea, he'll finish up his activities in America and Japan. Se7en plans to release his debut song "Girls" on iTunes on March 10th. Then two to three months down the line they're planning to release a second single. Se7en will then go to Japan in the summer to have some activities in the Japanese market. Finally returning back to Korea in the Fall, after more than 2 years in America.
YG CEO Yang Hyun Suk said this in the interview:

This isn't about album sales, more so about signaling Se7en's debut into the American market. We don't except our first single to enter the Billboard Charts or even receive a lot of sales, but that doesn't mean we haven't succeeded. We worked with famous musicians and producers such as Lil' Kim and DarkChild, that in itself is half-success. I had meetings with some industry contacts in America, such as officials at Interscope Records. Through these meetings I was able to have Lil Kim's participation. Another prominent US musician will be featured in Se7en's second single.
We never anticipated Se7en's debut to take such a long time with so many delays. During the process, he was working hard learning English and constantly recording music. At the same time, we were still researching the American market for Asian artists. It's very difficult in America because there isn't any Musical Ranking Type shows like back in Korea. Even TRL on MTV is gone now, so that makes it difficult. Constant Radio play and Music Videos are most crucial in America, and MTV won't play just a random foreign singer with a different look, musical style, and someone who can't speak English properly ... |

I don't have any sympathy for the guy, since he jumped on the anti-America bandwagon during the mad cow beef fiasco.

Please. Dark Child I've never heard of. Lil Kim I can work with for $100 per hour and a crack pipe. |

Um... where did they get this nonsense? Oh wait, Korean reporters can just snatch it from their gape and that's ok as long as it's to the Korean masses that will believe whatever excuse the can come up with.
