Keep the connections.
32 illustrated pages. Three chapters of K-Pop history. Yours to read, save and explore.
One map. Many connections.
Agencies can look like separate islands. The people who move between them reveal a different story: performers become founders, producers start companies, and artists find new paths after a group ends.
This film follows those connections through the rise of YG and Big Hit, the routes between major agencies, and the next chapters of artists from survival-show groups. It is a historical story, rather than a directory of current affiliations.
