Welcome to the Berklee Professional Music K-Pop & Beyond information site!

Your gateway to exploring the diverse and vibrant world of K-pop.

​​

Berklee K-Pop & Beyond, launched in 2021, offers students an immersive experience in the K-Pop industry through expert-led lectures, panel discussions, student projects, and performances. The program aligns with the mission of the Professional Music Department by fostering experiential learning and promoting community engagement to support students’ growth and success. This website aims to evolve into a comprehensive resource that highlights all facets of pan-Asian media and cultures.

K-Pop is one of the most compelling examples of how a vibrant local culture can resonate globally. Through this project, we aim to build a sustainable experiential learning platform that encourages students to explore, reinterpret, and share their own cultural identities while gaining insight from K-Pop’s global journey. In essence, the platform invites individuals to reconstruct their sense of self through the Korean cultural lens, helping them rediscover the depth of their own heritage and cultivate forms of creative expression that embody strong cultural embeddedness with the potential for global relevance.
