G481411 K-Pop Workshop (B1-B2)

Best moments yet to come: How K-Pop became South Korea's best-selling export
Some call it 'plastic pop', some call it the 'toughest entertainment industry'. Fans call it their life. Truth is, K-Pop is more than just music. BTS, Blackpink or EXO are some of the most succesful music acts of our time, as groups and as solo-artists. Reducing them to just being a boy- or girl-group phenomenon simply doesn't do them justice. So let's dig under the surface of perfect choreography and glittering lights and explore how K-Pop shapes South Korea's image around the world, making its artist global superstars - and how that does come with a painful price. Or worse: What happens when someone steps out of line.
