October 11, 2023 Ep. 262: The Trouble With Fallen Angels; The AOA Story
It's our first ever Patreon Patron chosen deep dive! And the patrons wanted to learn all about AOA! We're talking all about one of the last ultra sexy girl groups loved by soldiers and netizens alike. Start with an explanation of a 'transformer' concept that didn't last too long, meet all the members, hear all of their incredible songs, and look at a whole lot of butts. This story does not end very nicely, but it's a fun ride getting there.

Trigger Warning: Discussion of self-harm and other disturbing displays of poor mental health (1:13:57 - 1:31:59) if you want to skip and come back for the mv viewing.

August 23, 2023 Ep. 258: KCON LA 2023
It's the most Kpop-y tiiiiime of the year! We have pulled our ravaged bodies and broken brains together just long enough to tell y'all all about our experience at this year's KCON LA! Hear all about what we did day by day, including Alikes we met, idols we saw, day drinking we did, and lines we refused to stand in. We've even got just a few man on the street interviews of attendees we were brave enough to accost, and audio from an incredible panel with Kevin Woo from U-KISS and Min from Miss A! Stay tuned for a separate episode about the THREE concerts we went to over the weekend. If you'll excuse us, we need to go sleep for a week.

August 17, 2023 Ep. 257: 15 Years Later, U-KISS Isn't Standing Still
It's time for an extra long deep dive, because this group's discography and drama is extra long! 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. Finishing it out with a ceremonial burying of the hatchet in the name of celebrating their together time as idols. With plenty of stops to discuss messy personal lives and troubles between the members along the way. Thanks for sticking it out U-KISS! We hope you continue this new chapter in your 30s, and it's better than it was in your teens.

August 02, 2023 Ep. 256: Is It Kpop Without The K?
It's an age old question, and we're not really going to definitively answer it lol. But we ARE going to talk about 10 different idol groups and soloists that are not of Korean descent who tried to take a shot at being Kpop idols. 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!!

July 19, 2023 Ep. 255: The Week In Kpop - July 18, 2013
Today is the official TEN YEAR anniversary of the day that Shannon first discovered Kpop. So we're celebrating with a super specific time machine episode looking at this exact week of Kpop in 2013. We'll take a look at the top songs on the Gaon chart, who won the music shows, what idol variety was airing on tv, the week in news and gossipy rumors, as well as a general look at where Kpop fans hung out on the internet during this time. So much has changed since then, and we've heard so many great songs and had so many once in a lifetime experiences. Cheers to 10 more years!
