The K-Pop industry is full of superstitions, ghost stories, and scandal. Did you know that a singer from Miss A was visited by a ghost before one of their albums was released? There’s a ghost legend in a K-Pop video that is mentioned on the Dark Side tour, and we go into detail about that. We end the episode with listening suggestions for Korean music that is outside the archetypal “cotton candy” K-Pop that we hope you’ll appreciate.
