As many of you know, 2 months ago I won a contest that put my photo on the cover of the 40,000 circulated Korean American Journal.  I was very happy with this achievement and proud to have such great supporters.  With that appreciation from everyone's help and support, I also had a little magazine release party.  Thank you to all who made it and thank you to all who voted for me.  I sent a bunch of copies out to friends and family, but still have plenty more.  If you would like a copy, please contact me at nathan@weddingsbnathan.com and we can make arrangements.

There were no details on how many artists entered, but the 3 finalists were Christina Mijung Lee, Josephine Park, and myself.  Please see the below scanned pages for the pages and submissions.  All entries were excellent and I'm glad everyone got some magazine coverage.

We held the party at Joey's Smokin' BBQ in Torrance and had a great time.  My star models Natalie and Ethan were there to sign autographs and be little stars.  At one point, their 7 year old cousin Kasey told me to "back off paparazzi" as I took some more photos of them in action.  It was a great little gathering and fun to get everyone together.  Please see photos below.

Again, thank you to everyone for their support and thank you to my first Magazine Cover, but hopefully not my last.

Regards!!

With 10 years of outstanding entertainment, Kollaboration 10 started with a bang at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California.  5000 fans came to watch the amazing singers, dancers, musicians, and comedians perform for the top prize of $2000, with $1000 2nd place and a $1000 Verizon viewers choice award.  With talented performances by all, Clara Chung came out victorious, voted by the celebrity judges of Lisa Ling, Kev Jumba, Patty Yoon, Michelle Phan, and more!!

Congratulations Clara Chung!!!

More photos to come....

I have had a dream of having one of my photos on the cover of a magazine.  I am now close to that dream.  I would appreciate any votes towards my photo at the website below.

http://iamkoream.com/koream-cover-contest/

The theme was about Third Generation Korean Americans and having a cover that best illustrates that topic.  Are they Korean, American, or both?  What do they eat, listen to, speak, know about the heritage.  I felt the best and most impact was through a photo that showed a Korean on the inside, but an American flag layer on the outside.

Thanks for all of your support!!  You can vote Daily!!  Spread the word!!  Contest ends Feb 12th, Friday!!!!

UPDATE: I WON!!!  Thanks to everyone for their support and votes!  You all really pulled through and helped me win my first Magazine cover.  Thank you.  The issue comes out in May, along with a short artist bio and photo inside.  Their estimated circulation is around 45,000 magazines, so I'm going to try to get a bunch for those who helped me out.  Thank you again!!
