"This is the book on K-pop everybody has been waiting for....A
must-read!" --Charlotte Naudin, PR Manager, Torpedo Productions
K-Pop Now! examines Korea's high-energy pop music and is written for
its growing legions of fans. Pop culture expert Mark Russell features
the most famous groups and singers and takes an insider's look at how
they have made it to the top.
In 2012, Psy's song and music video "Gangnam Style" took the world by
storm. But K-Pop, the music of Psy's homeland of Korea, has been winning
fans with its infectious melodies and high-energy fun since long before
that. Featuring talented singers and eye-catching visuals, K-Pop is the
music of the moment.
Although K-Pop is a relatively new phenomenon in the West, it is rapidly
gaining traction and reaching much larger audiences --thanks in large
part to social media like YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram -- the Girls
Generation single "Gee" has almost three hundred million views!
K-Pop Now! includes:
-
Profiles of current K-Pop artists and their hits.
-
A look at Seoul's trendiest hangout spots.
-
Interviews with top artists like Kevin from Ze: A and Brian Joo from
Fly to the Sky.
-
A look at the K-Pop idols of tomorrow.

2NE1, Girls Generation, HOT, SES, FinKL Busker Busker, and The Koxx. The
