K-Pop Confidential by Stephan Lee

2.0

this book just screams ‘fanfic’ lol.

def recommend to a rookie kpop fan - the kpop vocab is explained well.
as a fan for 5+ yrs it just had me throwing up. I mean - the author compares his oc company to yge, sme and jype? this is funny.

and i hate how he (the author) wants to show the whole world how kpop-y is he. As i said, the kpop vocab is explained well but he just placed the words everywhere and it was annoying.
please, don’t compare blackpink, red velvet, snsd, everglow, itzy and twice to some ‘queengirl’. When you want a kpop oc gg, then have it - i dont care. but comparing it to real groups? lol.
and when candace was such a fan of slk - the ‘best boyband in the world’, where is bts? txt? seventeen? im a gg fangirl, but still. lol.
for example, [b:Shine|50855956|Shine (Shine, #1)|Jessica Jung|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1580350020l/50855956._SY75_.jpg|73696907] by [a:Jessica Jung|15241961|Jessica Jung|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1602795803p2/15241961.jpg] (my darling jessica ilysm—) had all the groups and companies as ocs. and when jenny from [b:XOXO|54618808|XOXO|Axie Oh|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1602086642l/54618808._SY75_.jpg|85216265] mentioned some real groups, it sounded just more natural to me.

i expect more from the second part.
