KPOP KORNER

JUNE IS OVER ALREADY??? WHAT!!!! AND OMG THERE WAS SO MUCH MUSIC!! From Laila's ultimate band making a comeback to us discovering that the Podcast may or may not have spooky powers O_O  Join us as we recap all the main news stories and comebacks from June. Naturally the episode will take a chaotic turn as we completely lost our minds over all the comebacks this month! Also just heads up - we may have went overboard with the screaming :') so if youre using headphones - be careful haha - so sorry.

Back with part two with our second gen experts and friends, Lois and Clarissa! We talked about even more 2nd gen KPOP groups that helped reshape KPOP as we know it today, and how these groups are the actual idols and inspiration of a lot of our current faves! Some of us accidentally exposed some ~delulu~ confessions, which is not out of the ordinary at this point. In this episode we talked about Sistar, Highlight aka Beast, After School, BigBang, and Super Junior.

To celebrate all the recent and upcoming 2nd gen comebacks, we invited our 2nd Generation experts and good friends Lois and Clarissa! We discussed some of the major bands that reshaped KPOP as we know it, because let's be honest, as 3rd and 4th gen KPOP fans, we sometimes tend to forget just how big and impactful 2nd Generation really was... AND STILL IS! So this episode may be educational for some -and for others- a trip down memory lane. LET'S GOOO! 

**Disclaimer some of the audio may be off sorryyyy

It's time for another recap to what seemed to be a busy month but turned out to be the absolute complete opposite! KPOP really said "we gon' rest in May", but we still did try to bring you all the main news stories and comebacks from the Month! And of course, we end it with our usual monthly recommendations however we completely struggled with this BECAUSE THE COMEBACKS IN MAY WERE EXQUISITE and ended up mentioning a lot more than we intended to... which is nothing unusual for us *sigh* ENJOY!! 

**TW FOOD: We start the episode with a little Mukbang and food review of the new McDonald's BTS Meal and give you our real and honest opinion, so if you want to get straight into the recap skip to 5:40!

We all find ourselves asking questions like "What was the first lightstick?" "did KPOP Albums always have photocards?" "Who paved the way??" And we're here to answer these questions for you! In this educational episode we take a look at the pioneers behind some of the most popular trends and achievements in KPOP! Some of these were quite obvious while others left us in actual shock. Disclaimer: Some of these may be a teeny bit inaccurate so if you think we missed something please let us know @KpopKornerDXB on twitter and instagram! 

We decided to take a quick tour to learn all about the band of ever growing subunits, members, and chaos also known as NCT, after SM Entertainment announced that they will be partnering up with MGM to create the next all American NCT subunit - NCT Hollywood. In this episode we cover the basic history of NCT's concept and subunits while accidentally exposing our very obvious NCTzen status. Get ready, it's a messy one... Also not @ Laila forgetting her own son Renjun while talking about NCT Dream...
