KBS (Korean Broadcasting System) and the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) have decided to join forces for the creation of two K-pop projects.



A representative of KBS stated on August 3rd KST, “The president of KBS, Kim In Kyu, met with the current director general of the BBC, Mark Thompson, and soon-to-be director, George Entwistle. He received an offer to hold a K-pop concert co-hosted by KBS and BBC, to which he suggested the co-production of a high-quality K-pop documentary.”

Kim In Kyu, Thompson, and Entwistle have all agreed to co-create the K-pop concert and documentary, and are currently making plans to make the projects a reality.

Stay tuned for updates!

I am so excited for this! Hopefully that means a concert here in London or somewhere else in England :) Who does omona think will go to the concert? And will it be like the MBC Korean Culture Festival?

I'm SO here for this. Cue all the familiar faces on the UK Kpop scene though. I really wish the scene was broader...ah well. Hopefully its like the MBC thing because that was incredibly well organized and I loved every minute of it.

If they have a big concert in London I'm so gonna be there, all alone because I know noone who listens to Kpop but w/e, I'm there, all alone wearing my Yonghwa T-shirt.

OMG are you me?! Except the Yonghwa T-shirt cause all I've got is a JYJ one ;_;

If the concert's in London and I am not broke, I am so in. Well. Hopefully they bring groups I like. Bring Infinite and I will give BBC and KBS my first child. Seriously.

This is exciting. Good news for America because we follow every damn thing Europe does so YAY soon it will be out turn to do it AGAIN.

This is cool, even if they will focus on those few groups everyone loves. -_-

The documentary will probably be PR drivel, especially with KBS + government being a part of it. I sometimes wish I still had the shininess of being a brand new kpop fan, but I've seen too much shit from the whole Hallyu thing to want to buy into that soft power ploy.

Still though, enjoy the concert when you UKers get it!

I'll be going even if I'm from the U.S. I've been to kpop concerts in the U.S. and I promised I would see one in London if it ever came up!

They will interview Benedict Cumberbatch on his thoughts about SHINee's Sherlock. I can feel it.

If I have money for when the concert happens I'll see you all in London.

OMG MY GOOD NEIGHBOUR MAKES DOCUMENTARIES FOR THE BBC.
I would DIE if it turned out he's working on this. I want in as if that would ever happen!!!

I'll be in uni in London this year so come snow or hellfire, I will be there...unless it's overpriced and BB actually decide to stop by here and I have to choose :/

I cannot wait I want it to be cutting edge.
So with a good band but none of this boring radio crap I want proper gossip. You know, since it's a doc and all... :D

it'd be nice if it was a concert somewhere central like milton keynes. or further up north, like manchester.

/forever butthurt that london/southerners tend to get the juiciest events.

Praying for a concert now I actually live in London and not miles away!
