Emma Turner from Barnard College's Big Problems: Making Sense of 2020 workshop sheds light on the inherent xenophobia K-Pop artists face in the American music industry and why the bigotry must come to an end. Emma delves into the layers of discrimination set up against K-Pop artists through belittling interview questions, lack of radio play, and demands for English songs. The zine includes a crossword puzzle for essential K-Pop vocabulary, two common routes through which people become K-Pop fans, a playlist, and a list of works cited. --Mikako
