K-pop disrupted pop culture in South Korea in the early 1990s, and later found fans around the world. Vivian Yoon was one of those fans, growing up thousands of miles away in Koreatown, Los Angeles.

In it, Yoon takes listeners on a journey to learn about the history behind the music that had defined her childhood.
