It began as a thesis project in graduate school a few years back at Columbia University in New York City. But in August Bora Kim got the chance to return to her native South Korea to try to carve out a niche for her K-pop boy band.
What makes the group different is also what makes it controversial — none of the members are Korean.
"I really believe in the project and the boys," Kim told NBC News. "So I'm really excited to have all the resources, the right platform, and the right channels to really showcase what we've been dreaming of."
The four-man band, renamed EXP EDITION, made its South Korea debut this week with its single "Feel Like This." The group also performed on a popular South Korean reality show, which aired Thursday, according to Kim.
Short for "Korean pop," K-pop is a music genre made popular in South Korea since the early 1990s that incorporates singing with highly choreographed dance moves.
RELATED: Making the K-Pop Band: Can a Non-Korean K-Pop Group Succeed?
Kim said they're still gauging audience reception since they're just getting started in South Korea. The members moved to Seoul in August and have been busy acclimating to their new home, Karin Kuroda, Kim's associate, told NBC News.
While immersing themselves in the Korean language, the performers have also been working hard on their singing and dancing routine, Kuroda said.
"They went with it full throttle right after moving here," she said.
Founded in early 2015, EXP EDITION had originally planned their South Korea debut for this past winter, Kim said. But they had to delay it after one of the members was hobbled by a broken ankle, she said.
Since releasing their teaser and music video, EXP EDITION has received positive feedback on music distribution sites from Korean K-pop fans, according to Kuroda. Their appearance on "I Can See Your Voice," the music reality show, was also a hit among Koreans, Kim and Kuroda said.
But the band has taken flak from some English-speaking K-pop fans.
On the YouTube page of its "Feel Like This" music video, some commenters outright dismissed EXP EDITION, saying they shouldn't meddle in a music genre that they believe is reserved for Asians. Others zeroed in on what they thought was a poor performance.
And then there was race.
The group was slammed for being all white, Kuroda said, though one performer is half Japanese.
"The last time that we had this controversy, people were really attacking us for being non-Korean," Kuroda explained. "And this time around, two members who are no longer in the group...were people of color, so now people are attacking us that we are all white boys."
But other English-language commenters came to EXP EDITION's defense. Some praised the band's vocal skills and effort. Some urged detractors to give them a chance.
At least one picked up on what Kuroda has said drove the project in the first place — thinking about what K-pop really is and what makes it Korean.
"It's a bit interesting to see the different perspectives that people are giving us," Kim said.
Controversy is nothing new to EXP EDITION. The group initially drew criticism for its original name, EXP, which stood for "experiment." Some fans accused the band of trying to imitate a well-known K-pop group called EXO, an allegation that Kim and Kuroda have denied.
They eventually changed the name to EXP EDITION. Doing so not only helped with potential copyright issues, Kuroda said, but the name also embodied the group's latest phase — their "expedition" to South Korea.
Kuroda and Kim said they have more in store for fans, including upcoming performances and additional songs to release.
"Before it was really hard to operate this project because we had such limited resources," Kim said. "But now we have investment, we're a fully functioning entertainment company, and [are] really learning the K-pop industry."

Microsoft Patchday May 2009: One update released
Every month Microsoft delivers security fixes for its operating systems and other applications - this time one critical update has been delivered.
After the quite extensive Patchday in April when eight updates we released for Windows and Office users, this month only one bulletin was issued.
The update is classified as critical and closes a security vulnerability in Microsoft Powerpoint that allowed attackers to infect systems with malicious software code which could cause damage to the memory.
For more information about the security update see the Microsoft Security Bulletin Summary for May 2009 in Microsoft's TechNet.

DC101 Visits Six Flags America To Try Their New Rides
What an awesome time we had! Clint and I got invited to Six Flags America to be some of the first to ride the two new rides, the Ragin' Cajun roller coaster (their 9th coaster!) and French Quarter Flyers!
I may have conveniently forgot to mention to Clint that the rides both spin... Oops!
Just to let you know, no Clints were harmed in the making of this video.
We had an awesome time at Six Flags America and I loved both Ragin' Cajun and the French Quarter Flyers! Definitely must get on rides when you head down there yourself.
Click here to get tickets for Six Flags America and see their summer schedule for 2014!
One last thing. I saw kids riding the rides a couple times and Clint, a grown man, once. He needs to get it together!

The ArcGIS Platform Enablement Community is a public community group created to facilitate understanding of how a wide array of ArcGIS users, from local governments to multinational corporations, integrate Web GIS as a platform to transform their organizations. This group is facilitated by the team behind the Platform Enablement Area at Esri conferences. Here you can find blog posts, presentation agendas, and other relevant content. We invite you to ask questions and engage with ArcGIS users and Esri subject-matter-experts on six key topics:
Defining a location strategy that identifies where location (maps, spatial analysis, and more) will add value and what is the best approach for adopting new capabilities.
Ensure ArcGIS supports your business operations and demands by selecting the appropriate deployment pattern, technical architecture, and infrastructure capacity.
identifying, curating and managing geodata, including defining where and how your geodata is engineered—from individual files, databases, geodatabases, and cloud services.
Configuring apps and templates that support your operational workflows, and integrating ArcGIS with your existing business systems.
Preparing the people in your organization with an overall approach to stay current on capabilities, generate productivity, and manage change effectively.
Developing a proactive approach to operational support. Engaging your helpdesk and selecting the level of technical assistance and channels of engagement that are right for you.

[Programming note: Join me at noon for an online discussion with Metro General Manager Richard Sarles.]
When Mark Berman and I do our "Which Way?" features, testing routes to work suggested by commuters, we don't consider it a race, and we don't say who "won." Whether one of our routes works best for other commuters is a personal decision, and who gets to the destination first is only one factor in making such decisions.
I think travelers know this, because many will comment by adding up the costs of a drive or a transit ride. Others will note conditions that either add to or subtract from the stress of the trip. A Metrorail ride might involve a wait on a cold platform, but it offers a rider a chance to read or get some work done. A drive is more of a hands-on experience. The drivers must focus on the road. But the trip might also offer more privacy, and a chance to be alone with your thoughts — and music.
Mark drove all the way to downtown D.C. from the Kingstowne area, while I drove to Franconia-Springfield station and took the Blue Line, but we did share one experience: We each thought the trip took a really long time, and we were sure the other guy would get there first. Maybe that's the heart of the shared experience of commuting: anxiety.
Some commenters, though, are divided by transportation ideology: It's better on principle to take either transit or to drive. Or they argue about who is subsidizing who.
Others offer practical suggestions. or share their own experiences. Here are some examples from the comments on our story.

So gas and parking adds up to about $15/day max but doesn't include wear and tear. Otherwise I can take a bus into town for $3.20/ day round trip or bus and subway for about $7.00/day round trip. Bus takes 40 – 70 min and bus metro not much different..So I can save $200+/month taking public transportation."

The entrance ramp becomes a fourth lane and you can sail up 395 at least until the backup for 14th street begins around Columbia Pike. I get off on 27 and come in over the Memorial Bridge. I am traveling at the same time this experiment begins, and I arrive by 7:20, 7:25 am at my office at 18th & K. I've found that as long as I'm on Van Dorn past 495 by 7 am, things are fairly smooth."

This experiment involved two people traveling from one point to another on one morning. The best part of the experience is the discussion it provokes. Our aids to navigation were Google Maps and Metro's online Trip Planner.
Frequent commenter 1995hoo asked if I might have been better off taking a Rush Plus Yellow Line train from Franconia-Springfield and then transferring to the Blue or Orange Lines at L'Enfant Plaza to complete the rail trip to McPherson Square. When I was preparing, I thought I could do one of three things: Take the Blue Line all the way to McPherson Square, take a Rush Plus Yellow Line train and transfer, or ride the Blue Line to King Street and transfer there to a regular Yellow Line train, then transfer again at L'Enfant Plaza.
But when I checked Trip Planner for the schedule from Franconia-Springfield between 8 and 8:30 a.m., all the recommendations were to ride the Blue Line all the way. For that reason, and the fact that the Blue Line train was the first to arrive at Franconia-Springfield, I chose to ride the Blue Line all the way. I think the Blue Line/Rush Plus Yellow Line would have been a closer call if my destination had been farther east than McPherson Square. For example, if I'd been going to Federal Triangle and a Rush Plus Yellow Line train were the first on the Franconia-Springfield platform, it might have made sense.
As Blue Line riders know, the one-seat ride is much more tempting than a transfer.
Among my other options was to drive from our starting point near the junction of Franconia Road and South Van Dorn Street to the Van Dorn Street station on the Blue Line or the Huntington station on the Yellow Line. The Van Dorn Street station was closer than Franconia-Springfield, but I was worried about parking availability around 8 a.m. Driving to Huntington at that hour looked like a time-waster.

Spring pet care
Easter pet survival guide
Don't kill with kindness. Easter eggs are a favourite family treat, but can be fatal for your four-legged friend.
Each year, PDSA vets and nurses see over 400 dogs who have been poisoned by human chocolate. Many pets require emergency treatment as human chocolate contains, theobromine – which is fine for us, but life-threatening for pets.
The biggest risk is dark chocolate. It often contains the largest amount of cocoa solids. A small bar contains more than enough theobromine to kill a small dog such as a Yorkshire Terrier.
Don't forget to avoid giving other Easter treats: chocolate coated raisins, peanuts and coffee beans are even more dangerous to pets, due to their potentially lethal cocktail of toxic chemicals.
Worryingly, research from the PDSA Animal Wellbeing (PAW) Report, the UK's biggest assessment of pet health and wellbeing, reveals that nearly half a million dogs could be at risk of being poisoned as 6% of owners admitted to giving their pets human chocolate.
If you do have an Easter egg hunt, count them before you start: it's easy to forget where you've hidden them all – which risks your pet sniffing them out and eating them.
So keep your pet in eggcellent heath: don't feed it chocolate.
Chocolate poisoning symptoms
The effects of chocolate poisoning in dogs usually appear within 4 to 24 hours of eating.
Initial signs include excessive thirst, vomiting, a tender tummy, drooling and restlessness.
These symptoms can progress to tremors, an abnormal heart rhythm, raised body temperature and rapid breathing.
In severe cases dogs can experience fits, kidney failure or even death.
Bad for the waistline
The high sugar content of chocolate is also bad for pets' waistlines and teeth, leading to obesity and dental disease.
Vet advice
PDSA Senior Vet Elaine Pendlebury said: "Owners should store chocolates in the same way as medicines when they have pets in their household – safely and securely. If you can't resist giving them a little Easter treat, make sure it is something pet-friendly, suitable and safe. A new toy or a nice long walk is a good alternative."

Amazon: Grossly Overvalued At Current Multiples
Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) believes in the long term! Demanding one of the richest valuations in retail, Amazon is all about growing revenue and market share in the long term at the cost of profits. Trading at a price to last twelve months earnings ratio of 1389, Amazon's valuation defies all financial logic. It is often argued that Amazon's valuation cannot be measured by standard valuation metrics. The valuation thus seem to be based upon its intangible powers like its strength in customer service, its popularity in online retail, the excitement around its new product launches every year; totally ignoring the margins each of them is capable of generating. The company believes in investment for tomorrow than profits today. Thus, today we will review Amazon valuation based on its top line, bottom line and its cash flow.
Amazon Revenue and Cash Flow Analysis
Amazon revenues have grown at a compounded annual rate of 31% for the past three years. As the growth story looks phenomenal, Amazon has clearly utilized all its cash flows as capital expenditures to generate higher revenues while sacrificing its margins, as can been seen in the chart below.
The operating cash flows for the company have been growing, followed by a similar growth in capital expenditure resulting in low free cash flows for the company. Amazon generated negative free cash flow of $2.4 billion in the first three quarters of 2013 (measured as Operating cash flow minus capital expenditure).
Business Segments
Amazon identifies itself as a low price retailer. However, Amazon is unable to extract profits by the economies of scale achieved from its vast customer base. Along with low barriers to entry, and high competition Amazon will be unable to push up its margins in the retail segment and will have to come up with new ways to monetize its large network. Currently electronics and other general merchandise segment (E-commerce) contributes 65% of the revenues and grew at 29% on a Y/Y basis in the third quarter of 2013. Kindle's new Paperwhite e-reader and Kindle Fire tablets have also created a buzz in the media.
Online retail, online video, and cloud will be the primary drivers of growth going forward. While these growth factors are keyed in investor expectations, their margin contribution to Amazon financials remains a concern. Amazon is heavily investing in data centres, causing high depreciation levels and low margins. Media segment grew at 33% in the latest quarter and generates 29% of revenues.
Amazon's Web services (AWS) generates 6% of revenues but is the fastest growing segment for Amazon at 58% on a Y/Y basis. This segment, although small, is expected to generate high growth numbers.
Amazon 2013 Q4 Results Expectations
Analysts expects fourth quarter 2013 revenue in the range of $23.5 billion to $26.5 billion. Given Amazon's strong sales in the holiday season, Amazon is likely to achieve the top line expectations. This is expected to fuel another jump in price, irrespective of its bottom line performance. Amazon stock price had jumped following the earnings release in Q3 2013, as Amazon registered 24% Y/Y growth in revenues, despite generating a loss of $41 million.
Amazon Stock Valuation
Amazon is excessively overpriced when compared against its peers on the basis of price to earnings ratio, price to sales ratio as well as price to cash flow ratio. Considering price to cash flow metric for Amazon, as cash flows is where Amazon is expected to be strong, valuation is way over the industry average.
|Price Earning ratio (LTM)
|Price to Book value
|Price to Sales ratio
|Price to Operating Cashflow
We are cautious as the stock trades at insanely high multiples as compared with its peers. Despite Amazon having strong operating cash flows, the price to cash flow multiple of 36x paints a very risky picture for Amazon, given most of these cash flows are then reinvested into the company as capital expenditures. The company will have to grow at a whopping 25-30% annual growth for next few years to justify these current valuations. However, we find it difficult for Amazon to achieve these growth rates as the company will eventually run out of investments to boost its revenues. Even if it grows to the levels of Walmart in the next few years, valuation levels should return to the similar range as Walmart's, which is grossly lower than that of Amazon. Without positive net income, Amazon will not be able to return cash in the form of dividends or share buybacks keeping it purely a momentum play. Amazon has never been a favourite at Amigobulls, and our financial analysis for Amazon gives the overall company a rating of 2.3/5.

In the post-divorce, over 40-something world, dating seems like a foreign language; something that if you haven't practiced in a while, you find yourself rusty and making some mistakes along the way.
