Chinese singer Wei Chen talks about "Superstar K" and collaborations with Korean artists

Singer Wei Chen from China, who became well-known through a televised singing competition not unlike "Superstar K," was one of the celebrities invited to the 2011 Mnet Asian Music Awards which took place on November 29th.

At the pre-event press conference, he expressed his gratitude and happiness for this opportunity to perform in front of a global audience.

One of the questions that was thrown to him asked if he would like to collaborate with any Korean artist. He replied, "My new CD was recorded in Korea with CJ E&M. I worked together with MBLAQ for this project, and in the future if the chance arises, I would love to work with other Korean artists as well."

Additionally, given the similarity of "Super Boy" -- the program that shot him to stardom -- to "Superstar K", he was asked if he had heard of the latter. Wei Chen explained that he had watched it while training in Korea and thought of it as a good platform for people who want to showcase their love for music.
