Singer Paul Kim teams up with fellow singer Eunice Kiss for this remix of Big Bang’s “Bad Boy”. Paul loved this Big Bang joint and decided to write his own American version. He blends his R&B skills with the Korean track. In the music video, Paul Kim plays the bad boy, while Eunice Kiss plays the Shy school girl. It’s a fun little track. You can download the remix FREE here.
Baby I’m a bad boy, sorry I’m a bad boy
Baby you a good girl, one and only good girl
Girl I know you got you pullin’ out your hair
Pushin’ all your buttons when I act like I don’t care
I just hope you recognize that I’m a complicated man
Never meant to hurt you baby please just understand
Baby I loved you, I always stay true
Someone you can run to, but somehow we ain’t cool
Cause you think, day and night I’m so cold
Cause I’m so real, but I can change
Running in these streets and causing trouble I’m a bad boy
Never late for class or in the club cause you a good girl
I don’t care what they say, I think they just crazy
You the only girl that I need
Baby don’t leave me, I know you still love me
Just need you to trust me, so we can be happy
Forever my lady, my la-la-la-la-lady
I know I made you cry, I was foolish girl but I can make it better
Just put your hand in mine, I’ll mail my heart to you inside of this love letter
Don’t say goodbye, the love we shared was sent from heaven
Please come back, back to me, yeah, yeah, yeah…
Gwen is the spokesperson for a radical technology allowing people to overcome their natural disadvantages and begin life anew. But when her job and family are in crisis, will she undergo the procedure herself?
Director Jennifer Phang also share some insights about the short:
To what extremes would a parent go to secure their child’s future? In considering the purpose of this series, I felt it was the right time for me to take a hard look at issues surrounding the future of women. I started envisioning the tale of a talented mother going to extremes to preserve her own viability in the job market in order to protect the prospects of her gifted daughter.
The stories of mothers sacrificing and suffering for their children proliferate across generations and cultures. I began looking for a multifaceted approach in exploring this theme. I didn’t want to tell a story about a guileless, idealized mother whose sole need in life is to raise a child. Rather, I wanted to create a mother who was a savvy, accomplished figure – a woman certain of herself, even prideful – a woman aware of her station and the tenuous nature of her position in a hostile, fast-paced world. This mother had to be fiercely determined to make good on her commitment to her daughter and to make up for past mistakes at any cost.
Around the time I began developing the script, I also began to notice an evolution in America’s collective consciousness: while in the past women were stigmatized if they had any plastic surgery done at all, they were now being judged on whether or not their elective surgeries were well-executed. Through the media, through our personal and professional circles, we are encouraged more and more to accept this kind of “self-improvement” as a compromised empowerment, or at least a practicality.
With this in mind, I wanted to look at the decisions of a cosmopolitan single woman at a time when competition for employment and education has reached a crisis point. This tale is ultimately a reaction to the myriad ways we try to self-improve in order to attain stability and success.
NBA hall of famer Wat Misaka was profiled by NBC news reporter Richard Lui recently. The first non-white NBA player stirred up his own LINsanity of sorts seven decades ago. “Kilo” Wat had a quick first step which gave him an advantage on the court. The New York Knicks knew this and selected Misaka as their very first draft pick in 1947. When WWII and internment camp rolled around, the uneasiness of the events had him feeling out of place. He struggled through it, but still made a name for himself in the NBA. Giving advice to a new Asian American NBA player, Wat Misaka wrote a letter to Knicks star Jeremy Lin — who is currently coping with an injured knee — to tell him to ‘hang in there.

Live Your Life by Yuna on Conan
Lyrics to Live Your Life by Yuna
Find your lie, don’t hide from what you are
And rise before you fall,
And hope for something more
Live if you really want to
Live if you really want to
Live if you really want to
All my life, I’ve been looking for something amazing
It’s almost like I’ve been star gazing
The sky is riding above me
Oh, oh, oh
We were meant for something bigger than this
Don’t ever try to dismiss yourself
Cause you don’t have to lose
Find your life, don’t hide from what you are
And rise before you fall
And hope for something more!
Live if we really want to
Live if we really want to
All my life, my dreams just seemed so far away
And now it’s like they’re here to stay
I hold it close to me
Oh, oh, oh
We were meant for something bigger than this
Don’t ever try to dismiss yourself
Cause you don’t have to lose
Find your life, don’t hide from what you are
And rise before you fall
And hope for something more!
Live if we really want to
Live if we really want to
Live if we really want to
Live if we really want to
