Hi there! I'm Alona Sass, manager and head of press for the Officially Kmusic! I am 26 years old and I live in Northern California. I have loved K-pop for about 15 years now and I will forever hold all five members of DBSK as my favorite K-pop idols. My first ever Kpop Concert was in 2012 at KCON and I met some amazing celebs there! Since then, I've seen live SISTAR, VIXX, U-KISS, B.A.P., CNBLUE, Bangtan Boys, B1A4, G-Dragon, Teen Top, IU, Jung Joon Young, Spica, 2PM, Girls Day, Dynamic Duo, FTISLAND and more... YAAY~ =D I hope you love Kpop music as much as I do!
