[ARTICLE] New York Designer Richard Chai is a self-professed fan of 2NE1
From a minister, to an athelete and now, a designer, it seems like no one is immune to the charms of our girls! The latest addition to the growing list of 2NE1 fanboys is none other than Korean American designer, Richard Chai, who confessed to be a fan of 2NE1 in his interview with, Zao Bao, a Singapore news publication.
When asked about his Korean roots, Chai replied that he's a fan of 2NE1 and Big Bang and that the most 'Korean' quality about him would be his personality and work ethic.

Richard Chai plans to finally get some vacation time after he presents his collection. Where’s he going? “Maybe somewhere I can actually look like someone in my show," he says laughing. He’s been unable to make it the beach all summer. Chai will present both his men’s and women’s spring/ summer collections together today for the first time. “Tons of color, kind of an eye explosion" is how he describes the clothes, a break from last year’s more sombre palette. Chai’s been loving Korean pop, like the girl band 2NE1(look them up!) and he’s also more confident than ever before. We find him amid castings, taking a break on the fire escape.
Tons of color?.. An eye explosion?.. Sound familiar? Was he perhaps inspired by our 2NE1…?
Just who is Richard Chai though?

A fashion prodigy! That's a pretty cool fanboy to have in my book~ Welcome to the Blackjack family! ^^
