What Makes Kpop Special

Today a friend in Korea asked, “What is it about Kpop, as opposed to American music, for example, that makes it special, and why do you like it?”

Happy April Fool’s Day! Bet you thought this would be a real review, huh? Ugh, I’m so sorry about the lack of updates recently, guys. I have a real job now, which: yay! monies!

Still, I will update when I can, hopefully very soon. Thanks for your patience! *hugs you all*
