iHeartPodcasts and K-Pop star Beomhan just launched a brand new series that pulls back the curtain on the world of K-Pop news and gossip, and features interviews with some of the genre's most legendary artists and industry greats.
The K-Factor With Beomhan, which kicked off on Tuesday (April 15), "brings listeners closer to their favorite K-pop idols, celebrating the culture and exploring the industry like never before, including discussions on mental health impacts."
Fans can look forward to "music reviews, the latest news and exclusive interviews with K-pop trainees, idols, producers, writers and choreographers—including special guests like Sebastian Garcia (aka Rufio Hooks), one of the songwriters behind the BTS hit "Butter,” along with other industry insiders like James Kho, a top choreographer for premier K-pop acts; Andrew Han, a former TikTok star who gave up internet fame to train as a K-pop idol; and Emily Lis, a dancer in Korea specializing in 시안 (trainee video training) used for idol training."
In the first episode, Beomhan offers "unfiltered takes on everything happening in the industry. Then, hit songwriter Sebastian Garcia—also known as Rufio Hooks and one of the masterminds behind BTS's chart-topping hit Butter—joins Beomhan for an in-depth interview on The K Factor. They talk about music, the creative process, and what it's like to write for K-pop's biggest names."
