K-pop disrupted pop culture in South Korea in the early 1990s and quickly the new and electrifying sound found fans across the world.
One of those fans was a kid growing up thousands of miles away in Koreatown, Los Angeles.
In K-Pop Dreaming, the second season of the acclaimed California Love podcast, host and writer Vivian Yoon takes listeners on a journey to learn about the history behind the music that had defined her childhood.
From an occupied Korea in the 1930s and a small hip-hop club in 1980s Seoul to the 1992 LA Uprising and the music’s booming popularity today, the surprising story of K-pop is juxtaposed against Vivian’s own coming of age as a second-generation immigrant, struggling to fit in and come to terms with her own identity.
The series premieres on February 23, 2023.
