Katherine Does K-Pop: Version 2.0

Hello, all! It’s been a long time since I’ve been actively posting on here, right? I was just thinking about how I started this blog back all the way in 2017.

A First-Timer at KCON New York (Part One): The Convention

At this point, KCON New York happened a full month ago… yet I still find myself thinking about it every day.
