In today's episode, Hilary takes Megan through the magical world of the Korean pop music industry, through the lens of dominating girl group Blackpink. Topics discussed include a comparison to American pop music in the 1990s, how curation is an essential part of the celebrity mystique, and how fans could benefit from an ounce of self awareness.
