Listen "Ep 8: The K-Culture Boom"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome back to the 8th episode of Seoulful Sisters! Today, I’m joined by Yesun Shin, who leads global business development at MAKESTAR — a rising K-POP commerce platform. While K-pop and K-culture’s explosive rise may seem sudden, it’s anything but. For decades, Korea has been shaping the global stage with polished idol groups, addictive dramas, flavorful cuisine, and cutting-edge beauty products.
But behind the glitz lies a deeper truth: K-culture thrives on community. Without BTS’s ARMY, BLACKPINK’s BLINKs, or the passionate “GOLDEN” fandoms fueling media buzz, the Hallyu Wave would not exist.
In this conversation, Yesun and I unpack how K-pop sustains its global influence — and what the future may hold for idols, fans, and the industry’s next chapter.
