The music documentary I AM. follows several chart-topping K-pop bands (including KANGTA, BoA, Girl's Generation, and others) as they prepare for their 2011 live performance at one of the world’s most prestigious venues: New York City’s Madison Square Garden. The groups are part of SMTown, a segment of SM Entertainment, an independent Korean record label, talent agency, producer, and publisher of pop music.
Shining light on what defines the performers and the intense effort that goes into their meticulously-staged concerts, this touching coming-of-age story is just as much about the growing pains and glory of the young artists as it is about their music. Featuring tons of incredible music and amazing K-pop cameos, this is the inside look into Korea’s popular music scene.
