June 19, 2024 Ep. 277: A Eulogy for Weki Meki
It's a Kpop tale as old as time, and now it has hit us very close to home. A girl group that should have been huge and deserved better has been unceremoniously disbanded. So we have to make an episode about them to process our grief. Weki Meki, you were so special to us, and we wish you had been special to Fantagio. Thank you for everything. You will live on in our hearts and our playlists for always!!

We're back with yet another Patreon chosen deep dive! And this week the group in the spotlight is Highlight, formerly known as B2ST!

May 08, 2024 Ep. 275: The Year In Kpop - 2004 Pt.1
It's time once again to go back and look at the Korean music scene 20 years ago. And after doing these for 5 years, 2004 might be the oddest year yet? And not because the music is super crazy... but because there's barely any Kpop or Kpop adjacent songs! So come with us to explore this strange vast desert of a time when the 1st gen was solidly over, but the 2nd gen hadn't even really started. Don't worry, there's still plenty of weird hairstyles to look at.

In 2021, when Brave Girls shot onto the charts, a phenomenon known as 'The Millboard Chart' came into public consciousness. So today, we're going to explore the Korean military's effect on Kpop girl groups and soloists. Tune in to learn all about 'Military Presidents' from all throughout history, starting in the 1960s and on.

March 20, 2024 Ep. 273: AMAK Movie Club - My SHINee World 1st to 15th
Y'all know we love any excuse to make a SHINee ep, and this is a really good one!!!! The SHINee 15th anniversary movie is now available with English subtitles so you know we had to watch it (several times)!!! Tune in for a full recap of the movie, including a key for figuring out which SHINee World concerts each stage is from, getting teary eyed over displays of old technology, reveling in the honest and funny stories that SHINee tells, and of course enjoying flawless concert performances that we've never seen in HD before. Then, we get a little in our feels about some uncomfy omissions and feelings that got brought up in the aftermath of watching, and hear a voicemail from one of our listeners! If you watch the movie, please tell us what you think!! We really truly want to know!!!

March 06, 2024 Ep. 272: Writing 'Monster' Hits with Chikk
How do you thank the person responsible for writing the song that changed your life as a fangirl forever? That's what we had to figure out this week as we welcomed the one and only Chikk to the podcast!! Chikk has written dozens of Kpop mega hits including SHINee's 'Don't Call Me', NCT127's 'Kick It' and of course our EXO gateway, 'Monster'!!!! We ask her all about her career in Kpop starting with getting thrown right into the deep end of an SM writing camp, creative perseverance, the freedom that is making music, and wait til you find out her EXO bias (Shannon actually screamed). Thank you so much Chikk for coming on the podcast and sharing your stories with us! We were truly geeking out to the highest degree.

Thank you thank you to the lovely ladies of Weeekly for being the first girl group to come on the pod!

Also big thank yous to IST, Lobeline, our in room translator Aiden, our post translator Kate, and Dana Wickens for being the voice of our audio subtitles.
