CW: For the first 5-10 minutes of this episode we talk about Liam Payne's passing and the US elections. If these topics are sensitive for you, please proceed with caution.

In this (kinda) shady episode, we talk about JK's upcoming Disney+ docuseries, Tae's upcoming Christmas collab with Bing Crosby, Jimin's streaming race against Harry Styles, the Grammy's lack of k-pop nominees, and what we know so far about Jin's forthcoming album.

Note: Trigger warning for discussion of NCT Taeil's sexual assault charges at the 48:30 mark. Proceed with caution.

Little did we know we were all competing with a fish for Jin's hand in marriage....anyway, in this episode, we talk about a variety of topics, mostly focusing on Jin's re-release of Super Tuna (with a bonus verse).

The name of the German award we mention on the track in relation to RM's LOST! video is the Ciclope Festival.

Our socials:

In this episode, we primarily talk about our respective experiences at the JK documentary and what we took away from it. We also briefly touch on other updates, including a brief update to Suga's sentencing and Buff Tae.

Our socials:

We spent the majority of the episode talking about the drama surrounding Suga's DUI, including initial statements, subsequent footage, and varied reactions from netizens, both in Korea and abroad.

We also briefly discuss Are You Sure?!, Run Jin!, and Jin's new Gucci collaboration.

Note: Since the time of recording, KBS has since released an official statement saying that they will not hold a review committee re: Suga's appearance on the station.

Also note: Julie originally said the DUI happened August 8th, but it was first reported on August 7th, having occurred on August 6th.
