Black K-Pop, anyone?

Last week, Will Smith’s eldest son, Jaden, took to Twitter and confirmed that he’ll be “dropping a K-Pop single in the next 4 months.” This came moments after he confirmed that he, sister Willow and Odessa Adlon have formed a band together.

This might sound random for anyone but the young Smith is actually a big fan of K-Pop.  In 2013, Will and Jaden even visited YG Entertainment, a popular media company that operates as a record label, talent agency, and music production company, when they were in South Korea to promote their film, After Earth. During their visit, Jaden met with K-pop stars G-Dragon and CL.

In December, Jaden Smith brought up G-Dragon on Twitter, saying the BIGBANG member is his “inspiration.” The Korean rapper responded positively and ended with the promising, “Let’s do something.”

Meanwhile, another K-pop group has emerged from the United States. But what’s interesting about the group is that they don’t even have any Korean member.

Called CoCo Avenue, the African-American singing duo has recently released a new track called “Eottae” on iTunes which also had a music video released on April 14. The Los Angeles-based group is composed of Jenny Lyric, who hails from St. Louis, and Jenna Rose, who was born in New Brunswick, N.J.
