As part of our spoooookkkyy hallyuweeen series we discuss why we see so much western media coverage on the "dark side of k-pop," which rely on clichéd tropes. We welcome K-pop journalists Crystal Bell and Todd Inoue for this discussion to weigh in on what they're seeing from the newsroom perspective.
