"Ms. Chon started Music Plaza in 1992 to bring Korean music to a community that missed home. She first arrived in Los Angeles in 1986 and worked at a swap meet selling American music. When Koreatown Plaza opened in 1992, she started Music Plaza. The store experienced a resurgence due to the popularity of K-pop, with throngs of fans purchasing music albums and merchandise. Ms. Chon is grateful for the business boom but is unsure about the future of her store as it competes with big-box retailers."
