About us
We’re a group of K-Pop stans who enjoy dancing, reading, watching dramas, and generally spending time with other K-Pop stans. After all, most things are better with friends — and K-pop friends are the best kind. 💙
This meetup group is also home to AuroraZ, a K-Pop cover group known for vibrant, studio-filmed performance videos.

K-Pop Stans Who Read: "Molka” By Monika Kim
Epoch Coffee - Village, 2700 West Anderson Lane, Austin, TX, USLet's discuss "Molka" by Monika Kim
molka (n): the Korean term for spy cameras secretly and illegally installed, often to capture voyeuristic images and videos
Dahye can't believe her luck when she finds herself in a whirlwind romance with handsome, charismatic Hyukjoon, the heir to a multi-million dollar fortune.
But then a shocking revelation threatens: the couple has been caught on a spycam amid Korea's growing molka epidemic, and the video is all over the internet. When Hyukjoon flees the country to avoid the intense public scrutiny, Dahye is left to grapple with the ramifications on her own; and the demons from her childhood, long dormant, begin to surface.
Amid the chaos, she catches the attention of Junyoung, a nerdy, introverted IT tech at work. Junyoung harbours a dark secret: he has been spying on the women at work with his own hidden cameras. As Dahye's life begins to unravel, she unknowingly becomes the sole target of Junyoung's perverse obsession.
When the facts surrounding the invasion of her privacy come to light, Dahye is faced with the humiliating truth. Her pain and hurt turn to rage as she faces her past. Her desire for vengeance is insatiable, and she will not rest until the men who have wronged her have paid in blood...
