you know what, this book IS a little annoying and the writing style IS a bit grating, but as someone who has been a kpop fan (someone of was? a kpop fan) i can admit that it matches what it's like being in the kpop fandom ten fold. this book is odd and uncomfortable and perfectly replicates how irritating and frustrating the entirety of the kpop world can be. the music is fun, the outfits are boisterous and in your face, the concepts are visual eye candy, but every other facet of kpop makes the average person sigh. i think the point of this book doesn't necessarily hit, it's a little all over the place, but it's still intriguing and worth picking up
