Great interview Lil Kim!
I wanna meet my subbers too
woahhh, kinda miss you. Fans from from debut.
It is good to see her finding her own color as an artist. I liked her since the Superstar K 3. 🥰🥰🥰
I do not like her music, but I am very happy to see she is developing some individuality, and her own creative style.
I liked her before superstar K 3
@@krollpeter
Really...kpop is real music?
@@itsbeyondme5560 To be honest, to me not. But I understand she wants to change that.
Blijf sterk en veilig💪
She’s just so cool. It’s not easy making your own path as an artist, but she’s good at what she does. yellow was one of my favourite songs from last year
Loved what she said about fantasized imagery of Asian artists especially in Kpop. It's a double edged sword, the Korean industry perpetuates this infantalisation and people respond and in turn demand it. I love that there's a new generation who are opened up to other cultures and influences of being able to stand strong and proud in being different but also proud of ones heritage - with a unique spin. Love that she's upholding where she's from and blending it with something new.
There were(and are) already many artists like her. Kpop is not Idol music. Idol is just one of many Kpop genre. Foreigners are just thinking that Kpop is all about Idol groups.🤦♂️
Could you elaborate on that 'double edge sword' and the yellow fever?
I love Lim Kim and her old songs "All Right" and "Rain" will always be my favorite from her. I was there from the time she debuted and had always adore her work. Her voice is very appealing. Although I'm not into her new music but I'm really happy that she's doing what she loves and still active. Her work are filled with art and filled with her messages; stories.
Same here. Whenever it rains, I play rain ☺️
why aren't you into her new music? too different? you like to listen to the same things you're already used to?
I liked her voice and that one of the reason why i listen to so many song from her back then ..but now i dont know if i can vibing to her new song but anyway im still glad she back to music scene and i wish her a very good luck 😌
@@guiafb99 correct, I always love chill relaxing type of music to listen whenever I'm tired and my playlist is full with those kind of songs - i can't do it with her new songs except very few
I mean, you don't really hear of people talking like this. She's revolutionary.
I was SUCH a huge fan of Awoo by Lim Kim and I knew she was such a talented vocalist. I'm so glad she's creating her own sound and paving her own path. SUPER proud.
The first Korean artist I ever liked. Fell away a few years but found her again with "yellow" and it was jarring... kinda scary. Fierce. Very different. I'm glad she's back. Her voice is amazing. I loved her old stuff but although her new music isn't my style, I'm glad she's doing what she wants
what do you mean it isn't "your style"? what's the thing you don't like in it?
YAAAAASSSSS IM SO GLAD ASIAN BOSS DID A PIECE ON LIM KIM!!!!!!!!! Seriously underrated and so brave to go it alone. She reminds me of an asian styled fka twigs in some respects.
Yup
as someone who really resonated with a lot of her older music (goodbye 20 especially, rain helped me through a really difficult time in my life) i’m sad that her heart wasn’t truly in those songs. however, i’m really happy for her and am glad she’s found something that she’s truly passionate about and is fearlessly pursuing it. honestly the day i found out she was coming back i was so happy and surprised i screamed at the notification 😅 i’m excited to see what else she’ll do in the future, and i’m fully supporting her as always ❤️
Yeah I am fairly disappointed that we won't get anymore songs like that from her. Those were the best albums. Very good quality.
I feel the same, but... truly, she sang and performed beautifully. I think she did it with her heart, even though she was unaware of what she would love the most.
I've followed Lim Kim for a while and I'm so happy to see her getting some attention and spilling the tea.
Tiptoze forreal, also, totally random but i see dat Jack Atlas pic 👌🏻
I missed her - Awoo is still one of my favourite songs ever
im not a huge fan of her new music but im happy shes expressing herself
Totally agree with youuu. I love her old style
@@Sivibi7564 guys open your minds to her new music, wth... why keep listening the same thing over and over again? try something new
I agree as well, I love her old style of music, it fits her unique voice but the same time I'm happy she's expressing herself as well.
This is random but wow this is like a whole asmr video, both Lim Kim and the interviewer’s voices are so soothing
Then you should check out Latte ASMR and other Korean ASMR creators :)
Riiiiiiiiiiight???!!
I like the fact that she wants to be her own kind of QUEEN who doesn't want to be like everyone else.
Bruh I wonder where she went after all these years lol
Julie Huynh I thought she died
@@alicewong9935 Don't say that😑😑😑
Kim Jisoo don’t tell me what to say
@@alicewong9935 OKAY😑😑😑👌👌
THEHATEDANDUNWANTED SMOLBEAN because she just disappeared for a really long time without warning.
Its good that she shows Asian cultures in her own Music
People tend to forget that there is also South East Asia with a Diverse difference of Cultures from each other
I feel like the korean industry should include other Asians like south Asians. They are just as Asian as them and South Asian countries (like India) has a lot of relations and cultural exchanges between parts of East Asia, both in the past and now.
@@LM-ix7pk Why should the "Korean" industry promote other Asian nationalities? They are not a ethnically diverse country like the US to have any compulsion to do that. Moreover it is quite demeaning to talk about South Asians like they need help from kmedia, when in reality, the south Asian entertainment industry is the second largest in the world. Thanks but no thanks.
Arnimal Kaul their music genre is incredibly popular , really really much , i don’t see why they shouldn’t .
@@arnimalkaul4327 she meant tht we k industry has the ability to erase all these boundaries we Asians have made among each other by tht. Not for promotional work. But for making a positive social impact and erase segregation.
@@avibratz941 kpop isn't the industry to do it. As much as I love it, it is pretty shallow and manufactured. Additionally, why do we have to forcibly integrate? There are already cultural exchanges that are happening between India and Korea and that's quite enough. India has bigger things to think about first.
Man theres some people in the comments completely missing the points shes making. In the KPOP WORLD theres a set image and if you go against that you’re subjected to extreme hate from knetz (korean netizens). So it is almost groundbreaking for idols or even korean artists to not try and fit in those boxes that kpop companies want them to fit in.
Most of the 'kpop' world is not independent artists making it big, but going straight from auditions / competitions to being signed with big labels, which then form them in to a "brand", where they just follow the labels demands.
Knetz aren't the only ones hating, inetz spread a lot of hate too.
So excited
lets be real, that goes for the music in the us as well. if you dont do things a certain way you will get funny looks.
No. you are wrong. She is talking about her racism experience in US. She want to talk about yellow-fever in US and prejudice against Asian women in western society. "KPOP world" doesn't do anything wrong to her and she is not talking about that.
I like that she’s being creative and expressing herself!! Get it girl!!!
Hey Lim Kim!
She used to go to the same church as my friend in New Jersey.
Lim Kim your songs are powerful. You being a strong makes me wanna be brave too. Thank you to our amazing Asian Boss crews for interviewing this inspiring artist
I love Lim Kim. I've been following her since rain. I'm happy that she's happy creating music that is her own and I support the message she's trying to spread.
YEEES! Generasian is such an amazing EP and i really hope to hear more in the future! (i did not know her from k-pop)
It was a bit hard to hear that her heart wasn't into her old songs because it was created by other people ngl. But I'm glad to see that she is making music that she loves, and I especially like that she's trying to help break some of the stereotypes about Asian women!
Finally someone who's an artist first!! WELL DONE! thanks Asian Boss!
Yes. Not these fake kpop brand
Good on her; as much as I love K-pop, it is such a small part of the diversity in Korean art. So glad she’s showing another aspect.
What Lim Kim is doing is so amazing to see. Being unique in a world that pushes you down is hard. I'm so grateful that she made this amazing album and I can't wait for the next.
When I noticed for the first time that Lim Kim recorded new songs I was pretty happy, because I missed her voice so much, but when I started to listening them I was S H O C K E D. I didn't expected THIS kind of art and I'm not disappointed! I love all the music videos and whole concepts of them and now I'm pretty excited to see what will be next! Can't wait for another album 😍 Sending lot of love from Poland 💖💖💖
She has 2 face with different auras.
Thumbnail and MV she looks mature and fierce but in interview she looks gentle and cool girl 😍
I’m surprised so many people don’t like her new song Yellow :C I really like it, it’s catchy and aggressive in a great way.
I wish this kind of Korean music gained more attention. Mainstream K-pop the world knows are mostly directed towards youths (bubblegum pop) and heavily marketed by K-pop industry.
Yeah, I know that youths are the most profitable consumers. But I want to see more depth in their artistry of music.
I guess I'm growing older.
"Drunken shrimp" is still one of my favourite songs. I love her new style, but still miss good old songs
been a fan since her all right days and it's really amazing to see the way she come back with a totally different side
listen to Generasian y’all!!!! Its truly amazing and unique!
Gosh, Lim Kim's last album is one of my favorite things in 2019!!! You go giiirl!
Amazing sound, style, flow and production. Real modern art.
Thank you so much Asian Boss for giving her spotlight 🖤
As a fan I find it hilarious and really cool to see Asian Boss do a special on her.
I recall hearing her back in k-pop days in 2015 and not being particularly impressed by her music. However, I was blown away when I heard her comeback transformation! The most powerful and unrestrained music I've heard from Korea.
This is the interview with her that I needed. I like Sal-ki and the Generasian EP because I like challenging music even though I've grown a taste for K-pop, but was confounded by how different it was from what she released before, which I also like. This let me know she's an artist forging her own path and not just an idol singing songs written by someone else and that her agency thinks will make money. She has something to say and deserves support and respect.
I freaking love her, her latest album was truly masterpiece!!! So original!
As soon as I saw her name on an Asian Boss video, I was shocked because I nearly forgot about her. Then, I realized that she's also been reacted to on Classical Musicians React, which made me intensely curious as to why she came back and what she was getting so much attention for. The moment I heard her track Yellow, my jaw dropped. I couldn't recognize her previous image at all. Her voice, style, everything, had changed, and this will be probably one of my happiest surprises of this year in rediscovering her. I LOVE the East Asian instrumentals and opera vocals more than I should.
Yellow is an iconic song.
Loved meeting this artist : love what she's doing and trying to do. Watch a LOT of KDrama, really tried to like female KPop, but find it very homogenised and and blandly irritating - sorry - though the artists are incredibly skilled and talented. So refreshing to find a powerful woman coming up in the Korean industry, and it seems doing it her way. Thank you Asian Boss! and Lim Kim!
Loona is different, check out Butterfly
also Dreamcatcher is a very unique group in Kpop, you shouldn't say they're all the same if you haven't listened to all of them
Wooooooow thank you very much!!!!!! I was hoping for more visibility for this case ! she is GREAT!!!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰💖
Her music reminds me a bit of the Korean japanese artist Chanmina, who is breaking stereotypes in Japan. You should check out her song Bijin to know what I mean.
So nice to see an artist in Korea who can express themselves through their art. Don't get me wrong, but everytime I see "K-pop" bands they all seem to act in the same way, like they're not really expressing themselves but just being part of an industry. Anyway, wish you guys all the best.
Because most of kpop is manufactured
There's way more artists/bands in Korea with artistic freedom than you think.
That just shows how ignorant yall are
@@atailypo exactly!!
A lot of groups like bts, stray kidz, twice, g-idle make their own music and express them in way they want. There is more artistic freedom for idols than y'all think.
Been listening to her since she debuted. She is VERY talented! I love the way she recreated herself and found the kind of music she truly enjoys. Her new album is AMAZING! I highly recommend people check out her performances on 'Onstage' for both Yo-Soul and Entrance. Entrance is so artistic❤❤
Thank you for such an amazing video! Korean experimental music is ought to get much more attention than it does! I'm sorry if this is asking too much, but I wonder if you guys could maybe make English subtitles optional and add the language that is spoken in the video (in this case - Korean). I'm sure there are a lot of people who are learning Asian languages among those who are subscribed to your channel and adding subtitles can help a lot in learning the language in an entertaining way. Thank you, once again, for all your hard work and I hope you'd at least consider my small suggestion!
She is so adorable, strong, beautiful, talented and her own individual unique talent. I love her so much.
Her efforts are so necessary and meaningful. Much love and admiration
I was so sad during her hiatus because I thought she quit music altogether but it’s great to see that she was rebranding. Ngl tho I’m a huge fan of her earlier music. It has such a soothing effect on me and although I can’t say the same about her music now, it’s still great to see she’s being creative and freely expressing herself. It’s also really nice to see that she wants to change people’s perception about the Asian community. It’s true that a lot of westerners view Asians as passive and that’s why racism toward Asians isn’t taken seriously. Hopefully, more people start spreading awareness about this.
Also, as a Kpop fan it’s nice to see some artists that were part of that industry, breaking out of that mold and redefining their art. BTS are doing it and now Lim Kim is...hopefully more follows.
Always good to see ppl succeed in doing what THEY want to do, not others. Some may be cool with that, but I think most aren't.
I feel like there are other genres somewhat related to idol music, but still diff (like KRnB, Khiphip, other misc. things)
Oh and korean rock is a personal favorite. some more idol oriented like day6, and others more indie like kiha and the faces
Diagree with bts
Nat I mean, cool...i guess
But does that change the facts tho? It’s like saying the earth is round and some flat earther saying “I disagree”. I’m sorry but that ain’t gonna magically flatten the earth Cindy but go off ig lmao
Bts have been real artists who have been creating their own art since their debut. Having control over their creative process, they compose, produce and even contribute to their own choreographies. Not to mention making music with actual substance tackling really heavy subjects that are taboo in their home country, from mental health, to politics , the rigid school system, unfair societal standards, etc...
They’ve went beyond breaking the mold of Kpop, they’ve even pushed the limits of being an artist.
Their impact on not only the industry but just society in general is undeniable but I guess this is easily overlooked because they’ve become well known now and that somehow takes away from their value. You know... since people seem to think that hating on popular things is a personality trait🤪🤡
@@coldebleus
No worry but that lasted albun is a mess. Bts is now a brand than artists. I agree with pitchfork with their review.
Tears and wing were their best album.
Nat Personally I think that their latest album is one of their best and one of their most personal. It’s a bit too pop for me in some parts, but the lyrics are amazing. I think their HYYH albums are the best out of their entire discography so far, but BTS are no longer producing music with extremely dark themes and it’s fine, artists grow. They’re happy now, and I think their new music reflects that. I don’t agree with the pitchfork review. I don’t like this narrative of “Only songs talking about suffering can be called good or art.” To me, to a certain extent, it glorifies pain and suffering. Maybe you’ve just grown apart and don’t like their songs anymore, and that’s perfectly fine too. You don’t have to like everything an artist puts out or the direction that they take, but I have to disagree with calling BTS just a brand. The lyrics obviously show how personal this album was to them.
She popped up in my head one day. I missed her so I searched for her music on UA-cam. I keep seeing this new mv from someone I couldn't recognise but has the same name as her. Imagine my shock when I realized it's actually her! I was really sad for a bit but then I am really happy she's doing what she wants and killing it! Really admire her courage. Not going to say I won't miss her old music. All the best to her.
After all these years I was thinking about her like 3 days ago and now this pops up💚
I honestly thought the title said LIL Kim. Lol
*AN ICON FOR THE AGES*
Wyndell Lee Yea me too
Those are the EXACT words that came out of my mouth after I clicked the link!!! 😂😂🤣
I thought it was Lia Kim
loooooooooool
I love that she followed a new path where she can freely express herself & give exposure to such important things to her culture. Such an inspiring young Asian Women, props to her 👏🏼
She is a treasure, I hope she inspires more kpop idols / aspiring singers to be unique and break out of the mold
I knew her since her being an idol. 😍
I am glad she is still doing music, kinda lost track of her when she left Mystic
I LOVE HER SO MUCH FINALLY GOT the RECOGNITION SHE DESERVES
편견을 깨부수고 차별에 목소리를 높이는 림킴 사랑해!! 오늘 6시에 나오는 음원도 너무너무 기대중♡♡
She's really talented, intelligent, cool and beautiful.
She's gorgeous
I'm down with any artist who decides to buck the system and do their own thing, their own way! Respect! I can't wait to check out her work!
I remember finding out about her like 6 yrs ago and loved 'alright' '20'' 'weeoo'. I fell in love with her voice and love the path she's carving for her own music and artestry
I remember listening to Lim Kim All Right wayyy back. Nice to see her on Asian Boss now
This whole album is magic! I am so excited to see where she keeps taking herself!
I bought her album simple minds years ago on iTunes and to this day, I still play it almost everyday.
I’ve been her fan since she debuted on the weekly MCountdown, I’m no longer in the kpop fandom but recently found her in the music channel ONSTAGE.. I was so shocked to see how much she’s grown as an artist and I’m so proud and happy for her ❤️
👏👏👏 Really cool and talented singer ... And stunningly pretty 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’m not the biggest fan of K-Pop. Using but seeing this interview brings me much joy. As a professional ballet dancer, I can relate very well and it is truly special to meet people that support you and what you do. All the best to Lim Kim 😊
I can't tell you guys enough how much I enjoy these stories. Thank you Asian Boss! Lim Kim, keep going! Change the world! You're amazing!
This is awesome. I'm so happy for all of them. I am going to check her out as well.
SO GLAD THEY DID AN INTERVIEW WITH HER!!
Absolutely fabulous
I love Lim Kim! I’ve been listening to her music for YEARS
Was never much a fan of Mystic's style and Lim Kim's debut there was accordingly underwhelming for me. But the moment I heard her performance on OnStage, I took notice. There was an authenticity and fire to her voice and presence that I never would have expected from a former Mystic artist. I'm glad she was able to persevere, connect with those that support her, and make the music she wanted to make. I'm definitely picking up her next release when it hits the shelves.
매력적이다
cool seeing her growth as an artist.
I know i should be paying attention, but Lim is glowing , she’s so gorgeous
I actually liked all her songs including the other ones in the albums, I especially liked her voice so it was great to listen to all her songs, i have been listening to her songs from 'all right' up until the lastest album before this, I always play it while driving. And I was thinking that she haven't came back yet for too long now and this pops in my recommendation as if YT wants to give me answers, and I thank this channel for interviewing her! And all the videos you upload are so worth watching for! 👍
Like it's off topic but she's gorgeous. No cap
I love her transformation a lot over the years !!
Finally someone understands the fans entirely and understands the idols too and creating /changing the spectrum of music
Omg yes!!!!! I was just thinking about her too
I think it's great what _Lim Kim_ is doing with her music. She's going beyond the norm for what people expect of K-Pop and also breaking barriers of what it is presumed/stereotyped about Koreans or Asians in general.
9:51 I bet they weren't expecting to see her in person. 🤣
I think the way she uses crowdfunding and keeps in communication with her fans like this is good. I'm sure fans would feel more appreciative.
I wish the best of luck to Lim Kim.
'Alright' was bop
What a strong personality!👏🏻🙌🏼
Her song, Without knowing it All is my favorite. Alright and Rain are okay, but I like the other one better. Her new songs will take some getting used to, but I hope she keeps loving her new approach to music.
림킴 멋있어 최고야
Since I moved to Korea in 2014 and first heard Awoo...her voice struck me as totally different from the rest of Kpop...I found all her songs and bought both her EPs and Togeworl's...I'd be looking for new music from her but she'd disappeared...now I'm in Japan and a student was asking me which Kpop I liked...so I searched for her and found this...I'm surprised she came back...not.exactly a fan of her new sound but I'll buy it to support her. I definitely think she's a unique sound in Korea and should be pushed more to the forefront
Goodbye 20 still one of my favorite Korean albums of all time.
Oh, so interesting - I never considered her to be an Idol (but then I didn't know her superstar K history), but rather a K-indie artist...
I think she really fits the 88 rising concept
what a queen
I know lim Kim is queen and king and a pioneer but i wanted to say that i got the asmr tingles with everyone's voices, especially from the interviewer. So relaxing 🥴
What a fantastic interview - Talented. Intelligent. Thoughtful. And as if that wasn’t enough - gorgeous! 🥂
She looks mature and beautiful.... most K-pop female idols have this very young and girly persona .. not all but a significant amount do..
They have to to be like that for the fans.
That's cause most idols are young.
THANKYOU ASIAN BROSS❤️
I LOVE LIM KIM SO MUUUCHH 🥺❤️ been listening to her since ‘rain’ and ‘voice’
o my gawwd lim kim is baaack i didnt knoioow
Had no idea about this artist
now i love her
Im just so glad shes back even stronger than before🥺❤️
I've never heard of Lim Kim but I see she went to school in Leonia, NJ. Interesting.
