Koo Joon-yeop, the former half of the popular 90s K-pop dance duo Clon, has released his debut book on Korean club culture titled, “DJ Koo’s Power Club.”

Known as DJ Koo on the Korean club circuit, the book was made available to the public Tuesday during a book signing event that took place at Koobar which the singer-turned DJ also owns.

Known for being the unofficial ambassador and defender of club culture in Korea, Koo spent three months club-hopping in order to pen the book which is aimed at both club newbies and veterans alike.

Koo has stated that the impetus for the book came from his need to defend Korea’s club culture after recent controversies of racy photos and reports of drug-fueled parties at clubs in the posh Gangnam district of Seoul surfaced.

According to Koo, “Clubs are places where music is there to be enjoyed while dancing and enjoying that moment” and added “this is why I love clubbing.”
