We're called one of the top 15 K-Pop podcasts to listen to by Feedspot!

In this mini-episode, we are joined by two of our faves – Mika and Armani! This discussion is from when Bora (producer, host, leader) corralled a group of Big** K-Pop Stan Accounts and asked them a few questions on what it means to be a Black K-Pop fan. Here are some gems that didn't make it to that episode.

Stay tuned! Season 2 is en route!

In this episode, we discuss solo stans and fans who only stan one group and one group only. Should these types of fans be considered part of the general K-Pop fandom? Or just fans of their respective groups. Take a listen!

In this episode we discuss SuperM. The "Avengers of K-Pop" as described by their label. Do we dig it? Is it a flop? Was combing the words jumping + popping really necessary? Take a listen to find out.

Henry Lau's "I'm Good" music video, Kai of EXO in "Kokobop" and Taeyang of BIGBANG (we could go on tbh), what do these idols have in common? They've all decided to wear traditionally Black hairstyles! Listen to our first episode to hear our thoughts on K-Pop and K-Hip Hop artists wearing braids, dreads, cornrows, etc. Did we give anyone a pass?
