How does a K-Pop star win American Song Contest?
Well, AleXa may live in South Korea now, but she was raised in Oklahoma and is an American citizen. She was born in Tulsa. And, when it was announced that a K-Pop star was going to participate in this show, she became the odds-on favorite to win what was essentially American Eurovision.
This was the winning song, and remains her only US chart hit to date, reaching #38 in 2022.
The song is still a fan favorite, even in her adopted home country of South Korea. The focus is on dance performance here - and it matches what she actually did on the NBC show, and not the video above.
To compare, here is her week 1 performance from the show. To be clear, this is the song and performance that won the show for her. And the win was NOT close. She beat Michael Bolton, y'all!
