K-pop Concerts Are Having a US Comeback

•

For western fans - K-pop concerts are having a comeback. This summer K-pop bands have returned en masse - such that it's not usual to have multiple K-pop acts performing on the same night in the same city. Dj Jon, Michaela, and Todd Inoue recap k-pop's new trend of the summer in this episode.
