Former ‘American Idol’ contestant Heejun Han, who was voted off the hit FOX reality singing competition last week, stopped by ‘The Wendy Williams Show’ today to discuss his experiences on the series. Han, who is originally from Korea and moved to Queens, New York when he was 12, auditioned for ‘American Idol’ because he was working with children with disabilities. He wanted to show them that anyone can do anything they put their mind to.

Han also discussed how he worked with such acclaimed singers as Mary J. Blige and Stevie Nicks, who mentored the contestants on ‘American Idol.’ He also said he was only joking when he said P. Diddy was drunk when eh mentored the contestants this season.

Han also joked that judge Jennifer Lopez has a crush on him, and that fellow judge Randy Jackson suggested he try comedy and acting. His immediate plans, however, include touring with his fellow top 10 ‘American Idol’ finalists on tour this summer.
