For the uninitiated, Andromeda OS was a Windows 10-based platform that looked and felt a lot like Windows Phone, complete with Live Tiles and a Start Menu designed to stretch across two displays.

As someone who cannot dance, still loves to dance, and especially loves watching professional dancers, I’ve observed K-pop from a distance for years, never knowing where to start with this genre. On a whim last Fall, I watched Netflix’s Pop Star Academy: Katseye, a documentary series created in collaboration with international record labels Hybe and Geffen Records that follows the creation of a global girl pop group in the style of K-pop.
