The South Korean cultural phenomenon, K-pop, is now a Broadway musical — starring actual K-pop idols.
Matthew Murphy and Evan Zimmerman/KPOPThe South Korean cultural phenomenon K-pop is now a Broadway musical – simply calledstory about a fictional Korean label, RBY, presenting a concert in New York City., the audience is immersed in a high-energy performance of a song called"This is My Korea." A girl group with five singers, RTMIS , sings in Korean as they come onstage.
But director Teddy Bergman said"This is My Korea" still functions like an old-fashioned Broadway opening number.on the RoofOff Broadway the show asked:"Why isn't K-pop a hit in the U.S.?" Now that's changed. So the current production has switched things up, immersing its audience in dynamic performances of spot-on songs in different styles, with outrageous costumes. Since it's a documentary-style story with flashbacks, the audience gets a glimpse inside the pressure-cooker K-pop factory, where performers are driven to perfection, often at personal sacrifice.
One of the show's songwriters is Helen Park, who was born in South Korea and loved K-pop as she was growing up. She's the first female Asian songwriter on Broadway and has created all the electronic backing tracks, which are accompanied by a small offstage band. Park said the score reflects the wide variety of K-pop styles.
One song, called"Wind Up Doll," is performed by MwE, after she's rehearsed with an abusive choreographer.
