The Confessions of Anthony Raimondi

Introducing Mission K-Pop

Caty Szeto is a woman with a dream: to become a K-Pop superstar. The 23-year-old Asian American is traveling from her home in LA to South Korea’s capital Seoul to attend a K-Pop academy. There she’ll do hardcore training in singing, dancing and styling. All this is to prepare for make-or-break auditions for K-Pop entertainment agencies. If she makes it, Caty could be like all those chart-topping idols who travel the world, perform to legions of fans and make millions. But this quest has its challenges. Caty finds out about ageism in the industry, where many new idols are in their teens. Then she comes face-to-face with incredibly specific K-beauty standards while navigating being a foreigner in K-Pop. Over just three months, our host journalist Haeryun Kang follows Caty to see if she can overcome these obstacles and reach K-Pop stardom.   Listen to Mission K-Pop on all platforms or wherever you get your podcasts.   Apple Podcasts [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mission-k-pop/id1841902131] Spotify [https://open.spotify.com/show/3LdOkJWvoq11Oeh2eSeVfO?si=c82850b551284c7f&nd=1&dlsi=8dd7e655bdfe46e1] Amazon Music [https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/3aca7383-c044-4243-8cab-b651c27a7417/mission-k-pop] See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy [https://art19.com/privacy] and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info [https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info].
