Korka auditioned for the show "in the spur of the moment".[1] During the semi-finals she got sick but was still allowed to continue in the competition as Robin Antin deemed her the girl with the most potential. Throughout the competition, Korka was seen as the underdog due to her lack of dance training but made it to the top three.[2]

Paradiso Girls (2008–2010)

Korka appeared at the CW Upfronts for the 2008–2009 season, to promote the second season of Pussycat Dolls Present and revealed in an interview with the CW Source that she would join the Dolls's spin-off group The Paradiso Girls.[3] During that time she performed at Fashion Cares along with other alums Melissa Smith and Melissa Reyes and the English burlesque group Girlesque.[4] She also performed and headlined at the Pussycat Dolls Lounge with Melody Thornton and Robin Antin as a special guest.[5]

As part of the group, Korka has been featured in multiple publications, websites and shows including YRB magazine,[6] Predicto TV,[7] Young Hollywood,[8] The D-List Magazine,[9] Rap-Up,[10] KTLA,[11] The Complex,[12] Gunaxin,[13] The Logo Awards,[14] PopAwesome,[15] and PopDirt.[16]

She has also been featured on Space Cowboy's Falling Down[17] and in LMFAO's music video for La La La and Yes.[18] She has been touring with the Paradiso Girls since July 2009, promoting their lead-single Patron Tequila,[19] including a guest appearance in San Diego on 9/10/09 with Shwayze.[20] She will also be taking part in the Party Rock Tour.[21] She is no longer a part of the Paradiso Girls, as the group has disbanded indefinitely.
