Looks like today is a special day for announcements. As Justin blogged, YOMYOMF is launching a new film division called YomWick Entertainment. As some of you know, Offender Phil is a bonafide screenwriter. Aside from his daily pontifications here on this site and being YOMYOMF’s resident gadfly (check out his post on K-Pop sensation G-Dragon and his dry humping scandal), the guy actually sets aside time to write, you know, screenplays. Well, I am proud to announce that one of Phil’s passion projects is finally coming to fruition and will be YomWick’s first release.
Since Phil is a music lover and also Korean, his magnum opus is the real true story behind Korea’s first boy band, SOLID. Who the frakk is that, you ask? Just the first boy band in Korea that introduced hip hop and R & B to a then very unhip South Korean populace. Before SOLID, the Korean music industry was basically overrun with weird drunkard folk songs, or whatever. SOLID, which were oddly dubbed a duo, but actually was three Korean-American guys from Los Angeles, broke major ground by wearing plaid vests, oversized sports jerseys and black high top British Knights, and releasing their infectious hit, Soul Mates! Check out their then, groundbreaking music video for this hit song…
