Our Story Soompi’s legacy began in 1998 when a lonely fan created a Korean pop music fan site at her home in Los Angeles. As a fan of H.O.T., the most popular boy band at the time, “Soomp” initially started Soompi with the goal of providing a place where she and her American friends could share their love for H.O.T. and their counterparts. However, Soompi quickly gained traction and has grown into one of the most distinct brands in the Korean pop culture fan world. Offices are in San Francisco and Seoul, and the editorial team now consists of six writers, plus a number of contributors from around the world, as it continues to grow in size and influence in the Korean entertainment industry.
