And out of touch with what's globally popular...
K-pop is another example of how South Korea has mastered soft power. Between that, K-dramas & K-cinema, they've done what China has aspired to for years now, dominating Netflix, capturing international film awards and holding some of the biggest concert tours in the game right now.
Here's a taste:
Le Sseraphim is an anagram for I'm fearless. They were originally 6, in line with the six wings of a seraphim, but one member was ejected/left because of bullying.
On Friday, they played Kia Forum, a 17K house. BGC only holds 8500 - the more intimate setting drove the ticket prices way up.
Tara said it was her third fav K-pop group after BlackPink & Stray Kids. I wouldn't rank them as high with my favs, but they're definitely in the top ten (meaning I only know about 10 K-pop groups - I luv K-pop, but I'd be hard pressed to name all the members of any K-pop band except BlackPink).
