Karen O was one of my favorite interviews I ever did and we did talk about being Korean. 

Photos at Music Slut link below.

...For just about a half hour, she showcased a collection of love songs on par with the latter tracks from Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Show Your Bones (most notably 'Warrior' & 'Sweets'), backed by a quintet comprised of strings, drums & guitars.

...

.The stage was adorned quite eloquently with a Korean flag, ample blue cellophane & a partial ship bow (which read 'Seoul').
