Bridging the Gap Between K-Pop Fans and Artists | Founder Chat with Kooky CEO, Hami Kim | EP26
43:37|We have a chat with Hami Kim, a former musician and founder of Kooky, the platform that's changing the game for k-pop fans and artists alike. With her own experience as a musician, Hami saw firsthand the challenges that artists face in monetizing their music. In fact, despite her music generating over 1 million streams, she only earned a meager $200. But instead of accepting the status quo, Hami decided to take action and create Kooky, the platform that would solve her own problem and revolutionize the industry. With Kooky, Hami is empowering artists to better monetize their work while also connecting them with a passionate global community of k-pop fans.
