MANILA, Philippines—If Charice owes her fame to YouTube, it must be noted that the first crucial video of the singer seen by millions worldwide was taken from her 2007 guest stint on the South Korean TV talent show “Star King.”
It was that initial performance (she appeared two times) on “Star King” which prompted American actress-TV host Ellen DeGeneres to invite—on air—the then 15-year-old Charice to come and guest on her own show. (It was not until the following year that Oprah Winfrey took her turn in booking the Filipina talent on her own show.)
Full circle
Things will come full circle next week when Charice returns to “Star King” in conjunction with a five-country Asian tour to promote her self-titled debut album with Warner Music.
The past few weeks, she traveled to the United States, Canada and Europe for the first part of the album promo tour.
According to a Vancouver-based website, which quoted Charice’s mother Raquel from the latter’s Twitter messages, the singer will be in Korea from July 11-15. She will tape an episode for “Star King” on July 12 (to be aired July 24).
As for her much-anticipated stint on Season 2 of the musical-drama-comedy TV series “Glee,” Charice said in a TV interview that shooting starts July 28. Season 2 premieres in September.
