Jamie’s “Pity Party” is perhaps a far cry from her debut stage in 2011 as part of a music competition show called Kpop Star. (You can watch her cover of “Irreplaceable” here. Spoilers: she won the competition.) We love to see a good comeback and an artist that has come into their own.
Though she was born in Korea and Korean is her mother tongue, she spent 8 years living in Thailand and attending an international school. She apparently prefers speaking in English, so it makes sense that her discography features English songs. A question I cannot answer: is it still Kpop if it’s a language other than Korean? Is it Kpop solely because it’s pop music sung by a Korean artist, and what then of Korean-hyphen artists, or even Chinese artists who sing in Korean?
Ultimately, it doesn’t matter. Jamie is here to do whatever the hell she wants, and we respect her for it.
Will listen to it!!!
Lol even I cannot answer those questions yet
