This week, we're learning all about 2nd gen boy group U-KISS on the heels of their special 15th Anniversary comeback. Meet all 10 members of U-KISS from throughout time and try to keep track of who was in the group at which time. Then, listen to a pretty extensive discography of a group that was never as popular at home in Korea as they were in other parts of Asia and Latin America.

What did their music sound like and how were they received by the public? Is this a trend that will continue to grow? Or will people always want their idol groups to be majority Koreans? We're not sure! But let's talk about it anyway!! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information....more1h 19minPlay
