American Idol's Heejun Han: Asians are Good At Singing & Entertaining

Heejun Han is one talented and funny guy. I just can't get enough of his humor and charm. I'm hoping--because he's gotten alot of screen time--that he at least makes the Top 10 of American Idol this season.

In an interview with the NY Post, he dishes about wanting to break the Asian stereotype, saying:

I want to show the world that Asians are not only good for getting high scores on their SATs. They are also good at singing and entertaining. That is the stereotype I want to break from this opportunity.

He also says Jeremy Lin is the Heejun Han of NBA. LOL. Women don't throw themselves at him, the throws himself at them actually. HAH. Man, I love this guy.

He also talks his love for Jennifer Lopez, Julie Chang, and how meeting the judges was a spiritual journey.

More from NY Post:

Q: Is there a love connection with Fox 5 reporter Julie Chang? She offered to buy you dinner if you made it to the next round of the contest.

Julie Chang loves me. I think it should be like that for every girl. But it is just Julie Chang for now.

Q: What about Jennifer Lopez. I know you have the hots for her?

There is an old saying in Korean that says ‘An old man cries three times: once you are born, once your mother dies, and once your father dies.’ But in my opinion, I cried when I was born, I will cry when my mom dies, and I cried when Jennifer Lopez hugged me and gave me a kiss.

Q: And you did cry! So real men can cry on TV?

Only a real man cries, I believe. I cried and I was proud.

Q: You were so overcome with emotion. What were you experiencing in that moment?

I thought it was just going to be a casual meeting with the judges, but it was nothing like that. It was such a spiritual moment. I didn’t know what I was doing. All I could do was just walk out there and call my mom and say that I made it.

Q: So your mom didn’t die? I misunderstood.

Oh no. She is still healthy and alive. She is a crazy, crazy woman. But she loves me so much. She is like the most supportive fan I have ever had in my life. I love her.

Q: You have a unique sense of humor. Did you get that from her?

I think so. I am pretty weird too. I think I am getting all the weirdness from her. Hopefully not from my dad. Because he is not that funny.
