Alex was a chef at a restaurant (I'm pretty sure it was a sushi restaurant) before he became a singer for Clazziquai. He's amazing! He was on Vitamin a few times for the cooking portion. I guess the fact that he actually knows food makes the whole ordeal a bit less random. It seems like an interesting idea though, crossing over to Japan through a cooking show.

No... not random at all.
He had a ton of culinary skills before he was even a celebrity, so it's nothing too out there.
It's much less random than Kim Rae Won and his cookbook from what he learned in Gourmet. lol. Now that was random.

yea i think it is a bit random...

firstly, i didn't think he was going to host a cooking program (though he is a chef with a sushi license thing... etc and has experience with "vitamin")

second. random thing was... in japan? (i didn't think he would go to japan to do this, it just seemed so sudden- no previous inkling of going to japan... or maybe its just me who didn't notice)

yea... very random... does he have some sort of fanbase in japan, jw?

but hopefully he'll do well (im guessing he really likes to cook ;)

-but definitely he should continue singing soon--- very soon...

^clazziquai does a bit of promotion in japan so he is known there.

and it's not too random because of what everyone else has been saying.

Actually it's not that random since clazzi's ish-wellknown over there and it's known that he used to be a chef/n is a great cook XD so "debuting" as a tv host for a food program is perfect =]

I don't think it is random either. Alex can cook really well and i saw him do it on Vitamin. Didn't know he used to be a chef at a restaurant though. I guess he knows a lot about cuisine, hence hosting a food program is just right for him!

random?.....not so much, he was a chef afteral before Clazziquai

It's really good to know he has projects going on...i REALLY like him :)

Not long ago, I read something about how a singer overworked himself and have to halt all the activites. that's like VERY NOT LONG AGO.
and here we go. I bet He's good at cooking and singing too, But he really need just to focus on ONE thing he's best at (Singing and together with Shinae )
"Don't keep on stepping on to other boat. Later, the Overworked singer news will resurface again and fans will get bored Alex."

He's dating Han JiMin!

(Just thought I'd add another random factor.)

^ uh, for reals? han ji min?

i dont find it really random at all..
random would be suddenly taking a role in a drama or something, haha.

oh weird this really is random! alex i miss ur singing, not ur cooking!! i dont think the han ji min thing is true. heard it was just a false rumor???

Doesn't he kinda look like Rain here?

maybe he has We Got Married withdraw so he had to get back into TV. about the rumor about him dating Han Ji Min, they both said it is false.

He is not dating Han Jimin, they both denied it, and Han Jimin even cried about it in public while denying it. haha
