Ep. 288: Best of 2024 - AMAK Awards

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). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're gonna start off 2025 and the official 7th year of AMAK with a good old fashioned deep dive! And the stars of our show today are a girl group that has existed almost exactly as long as the podcast, so fittingly today's ep is about the first 7 years of fromis_9! Listen to us TALK&TALK for probably too long about just how much FUN! it is to watch fromis_9 dance and how surprisingly emotional all their Feel Good music makes us. Good luck in the future to all 9 members, we cannot wait to see where you go from here! YouTube Playlist Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's already halfway through January, but we're still talking about 2024 one last time! This is the episode where we try to use loose math and nonsense reasoning to rank Kpop songs and pick the 15 best ones. And this year is fun because due to tallying reasons, we actually have 16 top songs!! Yaaay a bonus!! (Warning: We were emotionally fraught on this recording day and maybe we cry over a girl group song... just like, don't judge.) - !!Spoilers for the full episode!! - Top Songs Spotify Playlist Also, in case anyone actually reads the descriptions, we were in the paper in Korea last week! Please read this very nice article that is just so dang nice!!! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
