[BBC World Service] The Arts Hour on Tour in Seoul (2017.7.23)
The Arts Hour on Tour in Seoul
The Arts Hour on Tour is in Seoul, South Korea to see how arts and culture are reflecting the rapidly changing lives of its young people.
Seoul is a highly technologically developed city. It has the fastest WiFi in the world, K-pop and computer gamers who earn six figure salaries. Nevertheless, eight out of ten young people there say they would like to emigrate.
Joining Nikki Bedi on stage at RedBox Platform Chang Dong 61, are super star indie rock band Hyukoh, electronic duo Love X Stereo and TV satirist Young-Joo Lee.
Music agent Bernie Cho and film critic Nemmo Kim join the discussion panel and novelist Krys Lee, talks about her novel, How I Became A North Korean, based on her time working on the North Korean border with China.

@withregram • @giglifepro Celebrating their tenth anniversary this year with their fifth studio album 'Xennials', Love X Stereo is no stranger to the fans of K-Indie music. Formed by the lead vocalist/synthesizer player Annie Ko and guitarist/producer Toby Hwang, the Seoul-based duo's dreamy kaleidoscope of stellar synthpop anthems have enraptured music festival audiences across Asia, Europe, and North America. Their name has also reached outside the indie scene when the band did one of the soundtracks for the popular K-drama 'Love Alarm' and their single 'Zero One' got featured on Billboard in the same year of 2009.
For this Sunday's Press Play feature, we had a lovely chat with Annie Ko of Love X Stereo about the inception, the dynamic of the band as well as the story behind her curated playlist.
