Kaetrena Davis Kendrick, M.S.L.S., Senior Fellow for Instructional Design and Information Management at KPK and Dean of Ida Jane Dacus Library and Louise Pettus Archives & Special Collections at Winthrop University. She knows her way around Internets, databases, archives, and any other places that are important to the creation, organization, distribution, and preservation of information. In short: she can find stuff! Kaetrena knows that K-pop resistance is futile: she has visited Seoul several times for academic and K-pop fan reasons. Stateside, she happily succumbs to performance, reaction and cover dance videos, Korean food shows, and documentaries and books about the Korean peninsula. Kaetrena is a nostalgic Cloud and a dedicated Shawol (Taemin-bias; Onew an extremely close second) – she thinks she can master the “Noona Neomu Yueppo” choreography with the help of ibuprofen and a cold pack. She also likes the vocal stylings of Park Hyo Shin and overall grandness that is TVXQ.

KPK: Kpop Kollective 
OMG I LOVEEEE this website!!
Hi Shineezaina! Thanks for your support! Tell all you kpop friends! 🙂
I’m soooooooo happy for this! Now I can talk about Kpop (and Key) with people who understand!
Hey there! We’ve decided to do something special because of your comment – we love talking about Kpop in general, and we DEFINITELY love talking about Key (self-confessed Shawol here ^^). Check out the new category “Let’s Talk About…” because the first one is all for you 🙂
Wow!! This is amazing!! 감사합니다
You’re welcome! 아니에요 🙂
hi all. wow i love this . graet
This is AWESOME…I totally Love IT =)!!!
I took both surveys! It took me a long time because I had a lot to say (on the second one), but I had a lot of fun doing it!
I’m very excited to see what all of this turns into.
Thanks for taking the surveys! Glad you had fun, that’s one of the things we really wanted to do with the survey – why do it if it’s not going to be fun? 🙂

My computer was down and I was bored of just looking at facebook on my phone… I’ll skip the details but it lead me here and now I’m just as addicted to this site as k-pop and kdramas!! Saranghae and gomsamnida for saving me from boredom!! 🙂
Hi hi! I came across this site on the YouTube channel. I’m African-American and just getting into K-Pop good (I’m also over at SHINee Forums Int’l). Anyway……I LOVE SHINee, and 2PM but have no one to spazz over them with (there is no “scene” here where I live). Starting to get into SuJu as well. I’m VERY bummed that I couldn’t go to the SMTOWN concert in NYC, but whatevs..looking at the videos and reading the fanaccounts makes me feel like I really was there! This page is going to my Chrome bookmarks now…LOVE YA! Thanks!

Yay! Thanks for coming to the Youtube channel and the site. We also want people to feel that they have a community for mutual spazzing, as Kpop fans can be few and far between! 😀
Just found through from Google and I was wondering if you would like to exchange blog links. I, myself am writing topics on the J and K-entertainment industry. I’m going to be writing about fanfiction next.
Would you like to exchange blog links?
Hi and thanks for your interest. As you can see, our blogroll is very small and reserved for entites directly related to KPK members. However, part of the information we collect is information on Kpop-related sites, Kpop Web Places, an entire section of the site devoted to related Kpop links. If you can send us a brief description of your site, we can add you to that. Thanks!
Aaaahhh,.=D guess i just found a very good website. Hi, i’m Reza,and i also do some research about hallyu in Indonesia and it’s development in int’l relation perspective. Wish we can share or exchange information here.
Regards.
