In this episode of Kpop Lite, Lindsay and Rachel put on their design hats and take a look at 15 different K-pop lightsticks — from the sleek and iconic to the “what were they going for?” We break down what makes a lightstick work, which ones are secretly genius, and where the industry could use a serious refresh. We roast gently, we praise loudly, and we end with our beautifully unserious Lightstick Awards. Join in on the fun and let us know your favorite lightsitcks! :)

We’re back with a full recap of our concert experience for Seventeen in Austin Day 1. From getting ready and handing out freebies to meeting our fellow Carats (and even a K-pop Lite listener!), we break down the entire concert experience — including our thoughts on every solo stage (Seungkwan’s moving ballad, The8’s artistic masterpiece, and Mingyu and SCoups bringing the energy). Plus, the chaotic moments you won’t believe happened (Mingyu taking a shot from a fan), our favorite performances, our dance move attempt to get noticed, and our thoughts on what’s next for Seventeen as more members head to the military.

Kpop Lite! is back in person! This week, we’re heading to the Seventeen concert in Austin. But first, we’re diving into P1Harmony and BamBam’s comebacks, our thoughts on the new CxM album by Seventeen’s Scoups and Mingyu, and some wild Spotify listener stats that have us questioning reality (the fictional group Huntrix is the most listened to kpop artist in the world?!). We also get into our Seventeen concert prep — how we’re feeling, what we’re expecting, and what we’re wearing.

Plus, we’re gearing up for the upcoming Seventeen concert: dream setlists, members we’ll miss, and why we need to hear “HOT” live. We also chat about the upcoming S.Coups & Mingyu album, our dream of seeing Seventeen walk through the spirit tunnel on Jennifer Hudson, and the world of kpop military performances.

In this episode, Lindsay spills on her spontaneous 82MAJOR concert adventure — last-minute ticket grabs, on-stage acrobatics, Yechan’s chaotic energy, and choosing a bias. We also tackle the big question: is barking at kpop shows in or out?

This week on Kpop Lite!, we're playing catch-up on everything we've been listening to and watching lately! We chat about Yugyeom’s new album, get into our feelings over Benson Boone and Calum Hood’s latest (not kpop, but we had to), and give our thoughts on the Buzfeed video we did not see coming: Seventeen reading thirst tweets.

Then, we dive into a segment that had us doubling over with laughter—our favorite misheard kpop lyrics. From BTS to Seventeen, ENHYPEN, ATEEZ, Bobby, and Stray Kids, no one is safe as we relive the moments we sang the wrong lyrics with full confidence and zero shame.

It’s a chaotic, hilarious episode full of music recs, random tangents, and the comforting realization that we've all been there. Tune in and sing along—wrong lyrics welcome.
