Dancing while Korean

by Carmen Van Kerckhove

As many of you know, I’m a sucker for a good dance-off, and I don’t think it gets any better than this! Stephen Colbert faces off with international K-pop superstar Rain.

Some background from Angry Asian Man:

So we’ve been following along with ongoing Rain/Stephen Colbert “feud.” The rivalry began a few years back when the Korean pop star defeated Comedy Central’s faux news host in TIME’s annual online poll of the world’s most influential person. In some of his most inspired bits, Colbert shot back with various pokes at Rain, including his own K-pop music video. Recently, Rain talked a little smack back, advising Stephen not to quit his day job. As it happens neither of them actually came out on top in the poll this year: Colbert, Rain Not Most Influential.

Funny side note: When I emailed Latoya to ask if she had anything planned for this, this was the response I got:

Post it post it!!!!

OMG!!!

I MISSED IT!!!

ETA: You have no idea how crushed I am that I missed the first airing of the dance off. You best believe that I’m getting the whole k-crew together for a replay. -LDP
