About
The Korea Gig Guide was started to help people keep track of the concerts going on in Seoul and around Korea more easily. Yes, really, Korea does have some great acts, with live singing and instruments and everything.
As for me, I have been a fan of Korean music (old and new) since the 1990s. When I am not ruining my hearing, I am a freelance writer based in South Korea, where I scribble for The Hollywood Reporter and Billboard. On occasion, I also contribute to the New York Times, Newsweek, the International Herald Tribune and other publications. I have also written a book (set for publication in a few months), about the local entertainment industry, titled POP GOES KOREA: BEHIND THE REVOLUTION IN MEDIA, MUSIC AND INTERNET CULTURE.
If you have an event you want me to know about, or if you just want to drop me a line, feel free to contact me at: koreapopwars at gmail dat com. Cheers!
