She has an inquisitive mind with a bachelor’s in Journalism and Broadcast that aids her in interviewing talented artists within the genre.

Hallyu Wednesday is made up of two K-Pop programs which share this time slot. Halllyu is pronounced Hal-you. Quick little definition in case some don't know, the Hallyu Wave is what Kpop and Korean culture was called when it first started expanding across the world.
Rhythm and Seoul Radio airs on 1st and 3rd Wednesdays.
Eastify airs on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays.

This Korean Pop Music show introduces East Asian music to the KCMO area while also giving it a presence on local radio. I think learning about other cultures through music is the best way.
