The World of K-pop, A Review
Well, I suppose this is my world of K-pop. As someone who usually turns their nose down at most current pop music, that sentiment also extended to K-pop, if not more so. That’s why I’m as surprised as anyone who knows me would be that I’ve fallen hard for a few K-pop groups.
