Do you know there's a growing trend in South Korea called "cagong"? If your answer is no, you might want to check out my recent Kpopmap article. The shift has something to do with why Koreans visit coffee shops nowadays. https://lnkd.in/dxreTZd4 #KoreanCulture #KCulture #kpopmap #Koreantrend #KTrend #CagongTrend #Cagong #Hallyu

I concluded 2024 with my first exclusive interview for Kpopmap! I talked to Big Ocean about their amazing 2024 and goals for this year. Huge thanks to Kpopmap and Laure Levet for the opportunity :)

Very happy to have another successful video interview under my belt. We had the pleasure of doing an interview with the rising Korean actor Ryu WonWoo who acted in the ENA K-Drama “Brewing Love” which recently finished airing. We talked about his aspirations as a rising actor, his chemistry with the other cast members, got to see some of his aegyo, and more. We had a blast on set and despite some VERY unexpected technical difficulties (this was the first time in my 8 years of creating content that I had lost footage) - I’m happy with the result. Naturally, as a creative, you’re never fully satisfied with what you create and there might be some hiccups in production, but given the circumstances, I’m glad I could pull this off the way I did.

“Catch Your Eye, Catch Your Mind” is not only Kep1er’s group slogan/greeting, but also a one line summary of how it was to attend a round table interview and meet the members in person. I was honored to conduct this interview with Kep1er. The members were super sweet and filled the venue with their vibrant energy, making our one-hour talk session an absolute pleasure. We chatted about the new leg of their journey as the only K-Pop group formed through a survival show to have ever extended their contract, new beginnings, and their musical spectrum. I also enjoyed being able to wave my South African flag as Kep1er’s new title track is inspired by the South African music genre gqom. We had a chat about the group’s take on the genre and whether they would consider traveling to any African countries to visit their fans there, too.
