Annyeong, beloved listeners! On this very special episode of Nymphet Alumni, K-Pop conscripts Biz and Sam tackle Course 1 of the koreaboo masterclass, taught by world-renowned seonsaengnim Alexi. We define and deconstruct some of K-Pop’s most notable aesthetics: saccharine second-gen synth-pop, dark romantic neoclassical androgyny, the hypebeast techwear fantasy of "girl crush," the creepycute slice-of-life stylings of New Jeans, and more!
