ill., br. Da ballerino italiano di K-pop in una band coreana, a indiscussa star del web seguita da centinaia di migliaia di fan, il diario esilarante di Seuf Mafia. Per chi vuole scoprire tutto sulla Corea, la felicitudine, il pannocchiume, l'amore e la celebrità. Quando Marco si imbatte nel primo video musicale K-pop su YouTube è amore a prima visualizzazione. Da ragazzino insicuro e bullizzato dai compagni di classe, trova finalmente la motivazione che cercava per far emergere il vero se stesso. La musica, i vestiti, le coreografie e la faigaggine interplanetaria dei cantanti lo trasportano in un mondo in cui si sente accettato, quello in cui un ragazzo con i capelli rosa può ballare, e non solo non viene insultato, ma viene addirittura idolatrato! E così, ecco che arriva l'illuminazione definitiva: Marco lascerà il suo paesello in Brianza per volare a Seoul - caotica e pazza megalopoli da oltre 10 milioni di abitanti - e diventare un vero idol, una popstar che si esibisce di fronte a migliaia di persone. Ben presto si trova intrappolato in un'accademia di formazione per aspiranti astri del K-pop, che si rivela un vero incubo, con prove da mezzanotte alle sei del mattino, scelto dal manager per portare un tocco... esotico al gruppo. Cominciano qui le incredibili avventure di Marco Ferrara, in arte Seoul Mafia, oggi indiscussa celebrità in Corea e sul Web, che in questo libro ci svela tutti i retroscena dell'entertainment asiatico e le curiosità più assurde sulla cultura più amata del momento.
