Audio/Video:
The video is presented in full frame color. The picture looks pretty decent with a very sharp picture. While the quality looks good, but the picture is hard on the eyes. There is an excessive amount of lighting, which makes each scene too bright. Sometimes the natural lighting is so excessive that it washes out the picture, making detail very difficult to see. All and all, it's pretty bad. Close the blinds for god's sake! Another compliant, the camera lens wasn't cleaned before each shoot. As a result, there are noticeable spots in the picture. The audio is presented in 2-channel and sounds good. Dialogue is fairly audible, but some of the girls mumble and do not speak clearly. However, since we're most interested in the moaning, it's not a big problem. The background music put in is a bit loud at times and seems to jump in volume.
Body of Review:
Director David Aaron Clark was the 2004 AVN winner for best Ethnic Themed Video, Asian. The title that took the award starred Lucy Lee in Asia Noir 2: Rise of the Asianatrix. Like many people, Clark has a fascination with Asian females. In his latest release, K-Pop, Clark takes four lovely Korean chicks for a bit of love, lust, and sex. If you're into Asian girls, you'll definitely want to see what is to come! Here's the scene by scene.

| Concluding Words: I'd love to give this film unbounded praise, but I can't. I had some pretty mixed feelings regarding this title. On the one hand I really enjoyed Cris and Tami's scenes. Those together make up over half of the feature's running time. Conversely, I didn't care much for the other two scenes. They just weren't that exciting. If that was all I was considering, I'd easily give this a recommended rating. Unfortunately, there are some other aspects to consider. There were some really big technical issues. The majority of the feature seemed to be one big bright light. There was a lot of glare from natural lighting in each scene. This caused a bit of a problem. I really did not enjoy having to squint my eyes to see what was going on. Even worse, some of the action's detail just became a blur in the excessive light. Another somewhat minor issue was the camera. In some of the scenes the camera lens appeared to be dirty. Sometimes there would be more spots than others, but those spots were annoying. These technical issues leave me to lower my opinion of this title. Instead of recommending it, I must step back and suggest this as a rental. The title has some good content for the fans of the Asian genre, but it's technical aspects make it a hard one to look at.
