Next Thursday evening (4/17) at 7 PM @ The Korea Society we will be screening Hark-Joon Lee’s 9 Muses of Star Empire, a documentary about K-Pop, Korea’s global music industry. Lee got extraordinary access to the inner workings of the Star Empire agency by agreeing to become the 9 Muses’ manager during the year-long filming of the band as they prepared to make their debut. Don’t miss this revealing look at Korea’s musical entertainment industry and following the screening Director Lee will be available for questions!
