I'll Love You Forever: Notes from a K-Pop Fan
by Giaae Kwon
emotional
reflective
medium-paced
- I’ll start this by saying that I know next to nothing about K-pop aside from a few BTS and Blackpink songs. You don’t need to know any of it to follow this book, I promise.
- Kwon uses the K-pop bands she has been a stan for over the decades to unpack parts of her own life and larger cultural forces, from fatphobia to academia.
- I also appreciated that Kwon puts K-pop into the historical context of Korea as a whole, since that’s not something we get taught in school in the U.S.
