Korea's Next Wave
Why we love it ❤️
If you have been deep in the Korean pop fan cam rabbit hole this is about to become your new Sunday obsession. Watching new idols fight for a spot at Eurovision Song Contest Asia is giving main stage energy before they even get there. The girl group performances from Angel Noise and 9278 are the kind of stage presence that gets clipped and reposted within minutes. This has all the drama of an idol survival show with the added stakes of representing an entire country. Stan Twitter is going to have a field day picking favorites before episode two even airs. Save this one for whenever you need a full glam performance fix.
