Somehow we haven't done a song battle episode in over a year?? So we felt like we needed to make it bigger and better by starting with 15 songs instead of 10! That makes it MEGA! And we made the Patreon patrons help us choose the winners of this battle, because that's what they pay for! Spotify Playlist | YouTube PlaylistJoin Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Last weekend a seemingly impossible Kpop dream more than 12 years in the making came true. This is a recounting of our attendance at SMTOWN LA 2025 to the best of our memory which is spotty because our hearts and minds were lost in Kwangya.

Ooops, it's a weird Friday episode! Last time we went 20 years into the past, and instead of coming all the way back to the present we're only gonna skip 10 and make a stop in an incredible year of Kpop, 2015. This is the full audio version with the video playing underneath. link to video for syncing: https://youtu.be/CLDGn4GXO3w?si=4CAvacUl2XQTZIja Hosted on Acast.

We're heading back 20 years ago once again, and this time it's a more barren landscape than we're used to. Rock bands and ballad singers are dominating the charts and the music shows, and the Soompi archive is broken so we're blind to any fun news stories, but Shannon still managed to find some things to talk about that feel close to the Kpop we're used to. The 2nd gen is almost here, but just not quite... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The construct of time and other realities of life are kicking our butts and we didn't make enough episodes in March. Shannon feels terrible so listen to her whine and then make a recommendation that ties so incredibly loosely to the episode ahead. When she's done yapping, there's a whole patreon episode from Halloween 2023 where Shannon parodied her favorite podcast and recapped the 2019 Korean horror film '0.0 MHz'! Which stars Eunji from APink and Sungyeol from INFINITE, so it's like, definitely Kpop related enough.

It's movie club time, and this movie is our easiest to watch yet! Today's short film, 'Seoul Switch' stars friend of the podcast (who has no idea he is our friend) Kevin Woo as BOTH main characters! It's only 12 minutes long, and we really think you should watch it - but if you don't have time then we'll tell you about it anyway! Stay tuned to hear the random number generator laugh in the faces of our plans to try and make this episode not so short.

After 4 long years we're finally reviving this episode topic!! We asked y'all for misheard lyrics and you delivered!! Warning: This episode gets verrrrryyyy giggily Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Classic format alert! We're starting off today's show by talking about recent Kpop things we feel we need to address, apologies that need to be made, returns that need to be celebrated, songs to yell about, and much more. And then, in a slightly flimsy tie-in to Valentine's Day, Shannon will give a crash course on how Kpop can be part of Korean weddings via the customary congratulatory song. Then, stay tuned and see if you can figure out why this week's random game group is maybe the most on the nose we've ever gotten (because we absolutely do not figure it out during this recording and it dawned on us too late).
