Released in April, Kriewitz’s first full studio album “Berlin” features the name of the album in Hangeul on the cover.
In an interview at the annual Eurovision Song Contest in May, the artist talked about the allure of Korea.
“The first thing is the music. The second thing is how K-pop idols look. And the third thing is the language,” she said. “Oh, and everything I can eat there.”
