Hey, that's not the Brian Lara show theme. That's no secret. So how is it that we're listening to Korean-Pro?

Hey, that's K-pop? Well, we're a local show. That's no secret. So how is it that we're listening to Korean Pop right now? Well, one of the members of the K-pop group, BDU,

is a local to our listening area. His name is Jay Chang. He's known for his unique vocal ability.

You hear his voice once and you'll always recognize it. But we were particularly interested

in how a kid from Bergen County can go on to become a Korean pop sensation in Korea.

A bit more about our guest, Jay participated in a Korean survival program

and took on the unique challenges that presents without giving up.

We'll talk about that more on this experience.

He is currently continuing his activities as a member of one Pact and BDU, where he's loved not only by the Korean fandom, but also by overseas fans for his powerful vocals and bright positive personality.

Jay, thanks so much for giving us a few minutes. Welcome to WNYC.

Hi, thank you so much for having me. It's a pleasure.

And listeners, I'll open up the phones for you right away. Do we happen to have any Jay Chang fans in

the audience, any fans of BDU or One Pack or watchers of the shows build up and Boys Planet

that Jay participated in? If you know those survival shows,

now's your opportunity to talk to Jay

and ask him any questions about his experience,

becoming an idol,

participating in group activities

in the K-pop idol industry,

and now touring the world with BDU.
