Ep. 171: Idol Gossip with Alexandra Leigh Young

<p>We are so excited today to be joined by Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and the author of our new fave Kpop YA novel, Alexandra Leigh Young! We read Alex's new book <em>Idol Gossip </em>and we have so many questions for her! First get Alex's Kpop origin story as is tradition before getting into a non-spoiler-y discussion of <em>Idol Gossip</em>. Hear about the work that went into building Alice Choy's world as a kpop trainee, Alex's real world inspiration, how she balanced actual Kpop history with fiction, and what lessons she took for more realistic portrayals of performing. </p><br><p>Pre-order your copy of Idol Gossip now!
