Hallyu movement in America- more and more singers/rappers/etc. are pointing towards Korea with their music. will.i.am's Check It Out features a Korean man introducing him in Korean. Also, throughout the music video, there are Korean phrases thrown around the screen. Although this video/song is not something new, I just found it and thought that it was pretty cool.
Also Far East Movement went to Seoul to perform a last month. Here's a link to an interview about the group. The article mentions will.i.am's mv as well!
I'm not entirely sure how I feel about will.i.am's mv and his use of Korean... but I think its kinda awesome that American artists are starting to use the Korean language as well as collaborate with Korean artists and producers.
