The industry can be a bit opaque even to those who are mega-fans of kpop. Q: XOXO involves multiple characters who are kpop idols. My favorite cellists include Nana Ouyang and Hee Young Lim. I chose the cello in particular because I think it’s such a beautiful instrument and one of my favorites to listen to because of its warm and rich tones. Do you have any personal experience playing this instrument? If not, why did you choose the cello in particular?Ī: I do not! I did however play instruments all throughout my school years-piano in elementary school, clarinet in middle school band, and the harp in high school orchestra.
Q: The main character of XOXO, Jenny, plays the cello. XOXO is a new romance that proves chasing your dreams doesn’t have to mean sacrificing your heart, from acclaimed author Axie Oh.
