GLITTER: What's it like acting on Nickelodeon's Make It Pop? Who do you play?
MEGAN: I play Sun-Hi, a Korean-American girl who is a social media expert and dreams of becoming a worldwide star. Being on Make It Pop is so much fun because we get to sing dance and act all in one production which is a dream come true! Working with the cast and crew is also a blast!

MEGAN: I love to sing, dance, and act so I guess I am one! Although I definitely think that I have tons to work on and I hope to grow as a performer everyday.
GLITTER: What can you tell us about your first K-pop single, "8dayz"?
MEGAN: "8dayz" is my first Kpop single ever & it's released in both Korean and English versions with lyrics about dreaming and creating your own imaginary 8th day adding to the seven days you have in a week! Its a very fun, free-spirited song that is intended to inspire people to live everyday like its a new day!

MEGAN: Surreal~I met Jason Mraz when he had a concert in Korea as a cover contest winner of his songs! He was super nice to even tune the guitar that I also won from the contest for me and we decided to jam to one of his hit songs, " Lucky". I actually don't remember how I was able to sing because I was so nervous at the time but it would also be a dream come true if i can have the honor to share the stage with Jason Mraz one day!
