Asuka Kondoh and Ricky Sun on So You Think You Can Dance Season 5

So You Think You Can Dance fans, Asuka Kondoh and Ricky Sun may look familiar to you cuz they auditioned for the show last year. The duo are at it again for Season 5 of So You Think You Can Dance. They hope to get further than they did last year. For their audition, they’ve got their eyes on the prize. Favorite quote – “When you think of International Latin Ballroom, Asians usually don’t pop into mind.” Asuka Kondoh and Ricky Sun will change the way you think about International Latin Ballroom after you watch their dance routine to Mercy by Duffy. It’s HOT!!! Also positive comments by the judges.

Lisa Ling on Nightline for Laura Ling & Euna Lee

Following her appearance on the Today Show, Lisa Ling pleads for the release of Laura Ling and Euna Lee on Nightline. Lisa Ling is the older sister of Laura Ling and a Nightline contributor.

Lisa Ling talks about the arrest of Laura Ling and Euna Lee and her communication with them. Diplomacy hasn’t worked the past 3 months between North Korea and the US as North Korea continues its nuclear tests. Definitely an emotional interview for Lisa Ling. There’s been a lot of grassroot support online to free the 2 journalists, especially Facebook, which Lisa Ling uses as her “support” group. BTW – Don’t forget to sign the Petition to Free Euna Lee and Laura Ling here.

More details of the interview with Lisa Ling can be found here.
