My book "K-POP: The Odyssey" is now published on Amazon, Rakuten, and offline! It was a long but rewarding journey writing a fun, comprehensive, & updated #kpop book. Thanks to all the supporters I've met along the way. E-Book is only $0.99 for 30 days! https://t.co/Wp3rci2jbp

Did K-pop "break" America? Or did America come around to K-pop?

Two decades of U.S. deal structures — from JYP handing out flyers in malls to HYBE building the room itself.

K-pop's Long American Game — my new piece on Substack.

@MarvelStudios genuine question, how the hell is Ganke Lee a Korean name. Like a mad stretch

[TMIKpop @tmikpop]

Kpop without "K" nurtured to evolve into global mainstream genre. Last year seven k-pop groups swept the 10 bestselling album charts in the US including BTS, TXT, Stray Kids and Twice. South Korea's music exports reached an all time high of $233.1M in 2022.
