NAME: Amanjot Singh

AGE: 16

HOME: Laval, Québec, Canada

CURRENTLY: a senior at St. Maxime High School

INTRO TO K-POP: “It was during November of 2012, when a friend and I watched a K-drama, which was 'Boys Over Flowers,'" Singh said. “After that, I started to be addicted to K-dramas and I got to meet many friends that are into Korean culture. They started to [tell me] about K-pop.”

CULTURAL MISUNDERSTANDINGS: “When I talk about K-pop to a non-K-pop fan, they are always asking 'how can you identify who is who? Is this a boy or a girl?'" Singh said. “These kinds of questions just make me so angry.”

FAVORITE GROUP: EXO

FAVORITE EXO SONG: “Growl

WHY: “EXO has an amazing style of music that will just capture your heart,” Singh said. “Their dance moves are just perfect. They are really talented and so handsome. My favorite was actually [non-active band member] Kris, but I noticed that even with his departure, EXO always tries to work hard and make their fans smile.”

FAVORITE SOLO ARTIST: Ailee

WHY: “She is so talented,” Singh said. “Her voice just makes me get lost in my thoughts. When I saw her covering 'Halo' by Beyonce, I think I just fell in love with her voice. She is one of the most talented solo artists out there. My favorite song is 'U&I.” Her singing is just so was good in this song.”

K-POP FUTURE STARS: “Red Velvet are the next rising stars,” Singh said.” “They are all so pretty and their first song 'Happiness' is so good! It’s always on repeat on my iPod. Each member in this group has and amazing voice and incredible dancing skills.”
