This book was conceptualized based on a storytelling technique, which takes K-pop travelers through 5 days and 4 nights in Seoul while on a visit to see a concert by their favorite K-pop artist. What sets this book apart is that you can see the whole itinerary for the trip and Korean expressions being enacted in video form. To do this, members of K-pop group Favorite travel to the hottest tourist spots and see, taste, and feel what these places have to offer—all captured on video. The video clips highlight the appeal of these tourist attractions and include useful Korean expressions along with English subtitles to aid in the viewers’ understanding.
