Singaporean K Pop stars

K Pop group Skarf has 2 Singaporean teens, Tasha and Ferlyn, as members. One of them, Ferlyn, is now the team leader and has been asked to host a Korean entertainment programme. Yes, I'm proud of their achievements. But what impresses me most is that 1 year of grueling training in Korean language (from zero knowledge), acting, singing and dancing, these 2 girls have completely embraced Korean K Pop culture and Korean language to be considered "local".

Ms Jasmine Lee has been elected a member of the Korean Parliament. She has fully embraced the culture of her late husband, yet she is not fully accepted as a "local". Contrast this with Ferlyn's quick acceptance into the world of K Pop and entertainment!

Speaking the language opens many doors. Tasha and Ferlyn were forced into that environment. When everything was new and fresh, they did not find it too tough. But somewhere in the middle of the year-long boot camp, they felt like giving up altogether. “可是，为了完成我们的梦想，我们坚持下去，” ("But, to fulfill our dream, we persevered on,") Ferlyn said on a TV interview. Today, Ferlyn has just started living out her dream to be a K Pop sensation.

What's your dream? Does it involve having to learn another language? If yes, go for it! Dreams don't become reality just by dreaming. Get started on learning a language! Get on the road to fulfilling your dream! You can do it!
