Sang Duri is the eldest member and âvisualâ of a Korean boy band at the apex of global superstardom. But when his latest solo single accidentally leads to controversy, he?s abruptly cancelled. To spare the band from fallout with obsessive fans and overbearing management, Duri disappears from the public eye by hiding out in the McMansion of a Chinese American woman he meets in a Los Angeles H-Mart. But his rescuer is both unhappily married with children and a psychologist with a savior complex, a combination that makes their potential union both seductive and incredibly problematic. Meanwhile, Duri?s cancellation catapults not only a series of repressed memories from his music producer?s earlier years about the original girl group whose tragic disbanding preceded his current success, but also a spiral of violent interactions that culminates in an award show event with reverberations that forever change the fates of both the band members and the music industry. In its indicting portrayal of mental health and public obsession, fandom, and cancel culture, The Band considers the many ways in which love and celebrity can devolve into something far more sinister when their demands are unmet."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Popular music $z Korea (South) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Koreans $v Fiction. 650 0 $a K-pop (Subculture) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Friendship $v Fiction. 941 $a 2 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240503010610.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240502012215.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DB4EBE14084B11EFBCAD05DA2DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
