Picking Up: Asian Hate and Racism

At what point do our emotions go too far? Where is the limit? In this episode we discuss how good and bad qualities in someone may become extreme to the point of harming us. Specifically, we talk about when being too nice becomes an opportunity for people to take advantage of you, and when being too honest can end up harming others. 

This week's episode, we touch on a more crucial topic. Racism; specifically in the Asian community. With COVID-19 now planting red marks on the backs of innocent Asian lives, we thought sharing our own personal experiences could potentially be a gateway to this topic getting more recognition.

This week's episode we decided to focus on the Korean Entertainment industry, and its many controversies. From recent idol scandals, to our heated opinions on toxic fans- tune in to hear us share our thoughts and opinions. 

[TW: EATING DISORDERS, DEPRESSION, DEALING WITH MENTAL ILLNESSES] This week's episode is quite different to last week's. In this episode, we pick up the topic of mental health, specifically our experiences with dealing with mental illnesses. While we've never been officially diagnosed and are not therapists, we believe sharing our experience will help normalise this topic. Hopefully this will be able to help someone out there. And remember, if you're ever going through something or are concerned about a certain way you're feeling, please seek professional help or talk to a trusted adult. You got this :)
