L.A.'S Koreatown Cool

From Seth
MacFarlane's karaoke spot to Demi Lovato's spa refuge, the area west of
downtown is suddenly a hot scene for food, nightlife and those chauffeurs who
drive you home (seriously).
Up-all-night, anything-goes
Koreatown, where Los Angeles laws always seem a little looser, is ready for its
zeitgeist-tapping close-up. On July 11, Electus chairman Ben Silverman's
just-launched YouTube channel Loud debuted K-Town, a Jersey Shore-inspired
series that follows a party-hardy group of eight Korean-Americans (yes, there's
drink-throwing) in the glitzy, sometimes-gritty neighborhood between Hancock
Park and downtown. The show's producers include former MTV executives Liz
Gateley and Tony DiSanto, as well as Tyrese Gibson.
"It's a really cool subculture that we haven't seen in mainstream
media," says Silverman. Adds Gateley of the program, "Now you get to
be a fly on the wall."
