Why read it?
1 author picked K-Pop Confidential as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
K-pop Confidential was so real, I felt like I was the trainee. Candace Park is a fierce character with raw talent who starts her K-pop trainee years not believing in herself. Not only does the reader feel like they’re overcoming the challenges along with Candace, but it goes deep into the K-pop world with an intense knowledge of the industry. Candance’s fun personality and the cute B-story romance had just the right amount of tension to keep me hooked. One of my favorite K-pop books for sure.
From Jennie's list on The best books to immerse yourself into the world of K-pop and fangirl romance.
