About this episode
Caty Szeto has a mission. She wants to be a K-Pop idol. Caty’s always been into performing, especially dancing. But as an Asian American, Caty found it hard to see representation in the entertainment industry. That was, until she found K-Pop as a teenager. Since then, she’s dreamed of being one of those sleek and talented idols (think BTS, Girls’ Generation, EXO) in a genre that's had worldwide success. But she’s so far from K-Pop superstardom. So Caty’s about to travel from her home in LA to Seoul to attend a K-Pop academy - a school for idol wannabes. This is Mission K-Pop, the true story of one woman’s quest to become a K-Pop idol through training at a K-Pop academy. Consultant: Suk-Young Kim
