Through personal experience of being judged for liking Kpop and seeing my friends get judged for it, to see that non kpop fans were accepting it made me want to burst down in tears. Amazingly made movie and amazing stories behind it.<\/p>\n<p>I made a video essay because this movie is not something I could show and explain through static images or charts. The animation, the humor, the music&#8230; THE MUSIC!!! It&#8217;s all so good to not talk about while watching the film itself. The cast is not responsible if you cannot stop singing their songs for months so beware.<\/p>\n<p>SPOILER: I am gonna be doing a deep dive into the film hence if anyone hasn&#8217;t watched it yet, I highly encourage to watch the film first as it is such a masterpiece but also will make sense when you see my video.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Works Cited and More Info:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow EJAE Went from a K-Pop Trainee to Topping Charts with \u2018Golden\u2019 | GMA.\u201d YouTube, youtu.be\/wLNBaVNXeok?si=eJuZalGCDVrK2DrL.
