An introduction to K-pop for children

South Korean K-pop is the musical phenomenon of the 2000s. Thirty-two pages to discover the history of this lively, upbeat music with always-positive lyrics—from its beginnings in the 1990s to today: its evolution, its most famous artists (“idols”), its iconic songs, its codes, its fan clubs, and its strengths (complex choreography and highly polished music videos). “My Music Docs” is a nonfiction book that reads like a story, featuring an endearing mascot who shares extra fun facts.
