Jason Lee said, "As Teddy Riley made Jaebeom's song, he said 'It feels like when I made Michael Jackson's 'Dangerous,'' showing his excitement. Jaebeom said, 'This is the best moment of my life' and he showed a great satisfaction in his work," he revealed. The song is good enough to be a huge hit not only in Korea, but in America, as well.



Jason Lee also revealed recent updates about Jaebeom.

"His decision to be the main character for the movie 'Hype Nation' took 10 minutes. In mid-February, we decided along with his father to make the contract, and in April he came to LA again to record the songs. He attends church regularly, and spends a lot of time with his family. He is also practicing hard with his longtime friends on his b-boy team AOM."

He also revealed detailed information on Jaebeom's selection for the Hollywood movie 'Hype Nation.' The movie, which has about 20 million USD invested in it, will be directed by Alan Calzatti, who also directed music videos by Backstreet Boys and NSYNC that won awards at MTV Music Video awards. The movie will be made in 3D so the breakdancing may be enjoyed realistically. Jaebeom's b-boying team AOM will also appear in the movie.

Jason Lee said, "The movie is about a worldwide b-boy competition in Korea to which a team representing America arrives and has a battle with world breakdancing champion Gambler Crew. The main plot will involve both love and action, and American rappers B2K and others will be making an appearance," he said. Universal Pictures will be distributing the film worldwide. When Jaebeom arrives in Korea at the beginning of June, filming will start, with filming in America afterward, with the goal of a summer premiere [in 2011].
