    This week we're following up on Ep. 211 and covering the Winter set of SMTOWN company compilation albums. But first, Shannon breaks her literal silence on last week's Hyudawn news.

We have 12 releases to cover and one to look forward to later this month so get your cozy sweaters and ski goggles on. Oh, and I hope you like The First Noel, cause it's in these a lot.

  • Ep. 229: Every My Ears Candy Cover We Could Find
    In attempt to get one song out of our head, we're forcing it out by listening to the same song 25+ times! This time we found as many covers as we could of Baek Ji Young song 'My Ears Candy'. We came up with criteria for what to look for in each performance and analyzed them all carefully! We've got stages ranging from pretty spicy to mannerly and awkward, some with 5 people and some with siblings(?). Which 'My Ears Candy' was your favorite?
