Debut Buddies

First K-Pop - Seo Taiji and Boys (1992) with Julia Clausen

Episode Summary

We didn't know that much about K-Pop going into this episode of Debut Buddies, but damn if we didn't luck out to have K-Pop lover and expert Julia Clausen on as our guest! Julia (Book Club with Julia and Victoria) gives us a temporal rundown of K-Pop's origins (Seo Taiji and Boys), it's political and social ramifications for South Korea's youth (and society as a whole), and a thoughtful survey of the generations of K-Pop that have emerged since 1992. This one's gonna leave you amped.
