The Stray Kids billboard profile story included some bad tropes that were likely born out of lazy journalism, but there’s a troubling precedent set when fans dictate editorial. We hear remarks from Todd Inoue who also published a Stray Kids profile story a few years back. In this episode we discuss this issue, along with other K-pop song recommendations and hallyu things to check out. Genius Korea founder, Syed Saquib, joins and offers his recommendations & insights.
