Listen "K-Pop: The Hallyu Wave (Ep. 26)"
Episode Synopsis
The K-pop boy band 'BTS' made history on November 19, 2017 as the first ever Korean band to perform on the American Music Awards. If you're mystified by the worldwide phenomenon known as K-pop, you're not alone. K-pop has experienced a massive surge in popularity in recent years. K-pop has come a LONG way from its roots twenty five years ago when a single live performance by a rookie band electrified the nation. And it's remarkable that what is essentially "Top 40" music from the relatively small nation of South Korea has reached such epic heights of global domination. Our story beings with a 19 year old high school dropout, a lonely 13 year old teenage girl, and "a boy named Soo." (Afterword coming soon!)
