In 2008, Grace Subervi found herself falling hard and fast for the world of K-pop. All it took was a chance encounter with a clip of Super Junior on Star King. Countless music videos and variety shows later, Grace is an avid fan of all things Korean, from indie rock and hip hop to bibimbap and BB cream. And thanks to Korean dramas like My Lovely Sam Soon, she learned Korean on her own in just three years. "I want to bridge understanding across different cultures -- whether it be through music, culture, food, or travel -- just finding ways we can connect.” With her bubbly personality, years of acting experience, and up-to-date knowledge on K-pop, Grace takes one step closer to fulfilling that dream as the VJ for MTV K's new show, Studio 5.
