Seven continents in the world. 195 countries. Approximately 6000 different languages and several cultures. And KPOP (Korean Pop) is globally bigger than ever. However, an industry as big and diverse as KPOP will always have some form of negativity around it; and in this episode, we dive right into why we think that is, with one of the biggest KPOP stans that exist, Aprilyn Velasco. The gang dives deep into the topic on how influential KPOP is on the lives of others, and how the community acts as a family for everyone who supports mutual Korean groups. So sit back, relax and enjoy today’s episode as the slackers cautiously express the right words, in fear of sparking controversy or negative backlash!
