At the end of every year we usually subject ourselves to the Kpop festivals known as the "GAYO festivals". Often times the performances leave us speechless in both a positive and negative way, but this time we're only sharing our review of the performances that we have a positive opinion of! Hear why we enjoyed the 2025 festival performances from groups like AHOF, ATEEZ, ITZY, IVE, PLAVE, and RIIZE, and find out the ones we were positively surprised by!

What were your favorite performances from the 2025 Kpop Year-End GAYO Festivals?

It's been ages since we first played our very own "Nonsense Association Game" but we're back trying to guess the Kpop idol based off of whatever random thing the other person associates them with!

Leave your guesses for the Kpop idols in the comments & feel free to share your own nonsense associations with us!

We never seem to be fully satisfied with the actual year-end performances that we see at Kpop festivals or award shows like the GAYOs or MAMAs, which is why we’re taking it upon ourselves to create the ideal lineup that we’d like to see at one of these shows. From groups that will be there to songs they’ll perform and costumes they’ll wear, we’re sharing all of our ideas, no matter how unlikely or overdone it may be!

Let us know what you would include in your ideal Kpop festival!

Despite often having different tastes when it comes to Kpop, in previous years we have still managed to come together to share one overall favorite. This year it's no different. If you're a Meower maybe you can already guess, but if you're curious to hear the ultimate 2025 Kpop favorite that we both undeniably share as well as our favorites in several categories like favorite Kpop albums, music videos, and performances, you'll have to listen until the end!

It's time for our yearly roundup of Kpop comebacks that we missed the chance to discuss in our monthly reviews! Our November comebacks episode was already incredibly long but believe it or not the majority of comebacks we're reviewing in this year's roundup are also from November like RIIZE, NCT DREAM, and ILLIT, so it's basically part 2! We also discuss UNIS "Swicy" which we missed back in April and briefly acknowledge some other releases that happened this year.

Let us know some of your favorite Kpop comebacks from 2025 and stay tuned for the KickFlip episode as well as our 2025 Kpop Favorites!

We're discussing surreal Kpop moments meaning things in Kpop that we have seen that made us question if what we were watching was actually happening or if the moment exists in an alternate universe. Most of the moments we're discussing this episode are performances or music videos, so you may be questioning how they could feel surreal, but trust us when we say they speak for themselves!

Let us know moments in Kpop that you feel are surreal!
