Dance BTS together and make up with your son.

Famous Korean K-pop artists, such as Vernon, G-Dragon, Crush, and Jessi, made cameos in the movie "K Pops!"

Superstar Anderson Pack, who has a total of nine Grammy trophies, including forming Super Duo Silk Sonic with Bruno Mars to win four Grammy Awards. Her mother is Korean and her surname is PackPAKK, so she is nicknamed "Milyang Park" in Korea. He also married a Korean woman he met while teaching at a music school, so he is a superstar who feels particularly close to Koreans.

This time, he turned into a director and turned his K-pop experience into a movie. His directorial debut film, "Capps!" K-Pops!" began its release across the U.S. on the 23rd (local time), starting with the LA Premier on the 24th, and the daily LA Times highlighted the behind-the-scenes story of its birth.

The starting point of the movie was the experience of the pandemic. The atmosphere in the house completely changed when his son Soul Rashid, who was eight years old at the time, fell in love with BTS with his Korean mother, Jaylin Chang. "BTS has taken over the whole house," Anderson Pack told the LA Times. Until then, I communicated with my son through my music, but all of a sudden, I was ostracized," he confessed. Watching a Korean mother and son build new bonds with K-pop, he had to find a way to enter the world himself.

The breakthrough was humor. The father and son started filming funny videos together and incorporated BTS dance into it. "I got to know my son more, and he got to know me more. As a father, I could be just a "daddy," not an "Anderson Pack," he said. In this process, movie ideas sprouted up. What the production team took out at the movie pitching scene was not a fancy plan, but a TikTok video in which the rich bickered, "Do you know BET?" and "I only know BTS." The investment company agreed on the spot.

Because his mother was adopted and raised by a Korean-American family, Anderson Pack himself was far from Korean culture until he became an adult. BJ, the main character in the movie, is his alter ego. Through BJ, who goes to Korea and meets Tae-young (Soul Rashid), a boy who did not know that he was his son while working as a drummer for a K-pop audition program, Anderson Pack said, "I wanted to show that I can live in Korea without losing my black identity." The movie also contains the message that K-pop's roots are in black music, such as Motown and Jackson 5, in the background of a record store in Korea. Anderson Pack said, "One culture that pays homage to and respects black music saves each other. At that moment, they will also save you."

Popular Korean K-pop artists such as Seventeen's Vernon, G-Dragon, Crush, and Jessi have made cameos, adding to the buzz. The film, which took five years to produce, was first released as a special presentation at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2024.

Meanwhile, just before filming, there was an incident where his son almost refused to appear, saying, "I'm a Slip-not fan these days." After successfully persuading her and finishing the shoot together, Soul said, "I'm proud of you, Dad. But I don't want a sequel," he said, but changed his words, "If the scenario is good." "One day, when you grow up, you'll see how special this movie is," Anderson Pack said.
