The music, surprisingly enough, is the least interesting thing about this concert film that features 32 of the biggest musical acts of K-Pop (Korean Pop). If you are a fan of K-Pop or of today’s heavily processed pop sound, then you can sing and dance till you heart’s content to KANGTA, BoA, Super Junior and the rest. It’s the film surrounding the stage show that’s truly interesting, even if you don’t enjoy the music. You get a close-up view of the bands rehearsing their numbers, which is interesting, but you also get a lot of one-on-one time with the various performers that takes you behind the glamor to see the passion that made these young performers rise to the top. It’s a bit strange to hear them talk about their stage personas in the third person, but when you see the confusion American pop stars have telling the difference between the performer and the person, maybe there’s a lesson to be learned.
