Kat Cho and I are celebrating BTS Festa and the return of RM, V, Jimin, and Jungkook by talking all about her brand new K-Pop romcom, Wish Upon A K-Star. This book is a friends-to-lovers/ fake marriage romance featuring a K-Pop star and a former idol turned K-Drama actor. Kat and I are talking all about the book, as well as the importance of cultural context in k-pop and k-drama, fandom, and so much more.
The fact that this is episode 77 and dropping on the day some members get out of the military almost made me cry. Seven is a special number to BTS (they even have tattoos of the number) and for it to line up like this without planning is such serendipity. BTS IS SEVEN.
