    Can you believe it? Yes it's really our 6th concert recap for the year. We were graciously invited to see true Kpop superstar Sunmi on her 2nd World Tour and it was A TREAT! Hear all about all the ways that queen Sunmi mesmerized and impressed us and the setlist that was full to the brim with bangers.

  • Ep. 221: The Year in Kpop - 2002 (Pt. 2)

    It's time to get in the time machine blah blah you know how these work by now... seriously though why are all the music videos from this time period about dead women?!? We're finishing out our recap of Korean popular music in 2002 and ooh boy it's a doozy. Tune in to hear us describe so so many 8 minute long tragedy music videos. Oh, also I guess there were songs? But for real these mvs are all we can think about.

  • Ep. 215: Fantasy Co-ed Groups
    Let's return to a classic AMAK thought experiment, painstakingly choosing idols to fit into a fantasy group! And this time we're doing mixed gender groups!! We both approached the assignment very differently, resulting in some last minute changes (Angelica gets to make 2 groups cause Shannon is bad at rules) Which of these groups would you want to see the most?
