Katherine grew up watching Korean dramas and other Asian shows. Although she first learned to appreciate Korean music through OSTs broadcast locally in the early 2000s, it wasn’t until 2011 that she began to pay proper attention to K-pop. She is fond of SEVENTEEN and NCT and would recommend (G)I-DLE, Dreamcatcher, and XG to whoever cared to listen.
