With the recent rise of Western music companies incorporating elements of the K-pop phenomenon into their projects, WAAPS strikes the iron while it is hot. Through the form of an essential Korean Pop product, an album, WAAPS plays with, queers, and diversifies the form of the Western K-Pop album; before unaware audiences start to form preconceived notions around them. Simultaneously, We Are All Pop Stars uplifts six local queer artists. Framing these artists through the K-pop cultural products of photocards, photo books, and posters proves they deserve to be celebrated as much as any K-pop idol or Western pop icon.
