Super Junior, or SuJu, for short, is sometimes known as the “King Of Hallyu Wave”, a bridge between the 1st and 2nd generations of k-pop.

A.C.E Deep Dive: Adventure Is Calling
A.C.E was formed in 2017, right before the 4th generation of kpop, by Beat Interactive. Their name stands for Adventure Calling Emotions, hence the name of this review. They have five members: Kang Yuchan, Lee Donghun, Park Junhee, Kim Byeongkwan, and Kim Sehyoon (who’s also known as Wow). Here are my credentials: None. I don’t…
