At what point does it make sense for an artist to step off the stage? In this episode, I’m diving into the tricky balance between knowing when to call it quits and what life can look like after idolhood. From Blackpink, BoA, and TVXQ to legends like Tina Turner, Beyoncé. I’m asking what can you do AFTER all the fun?

What comes next? Maybe it’s touring on your own terms, maybe it’s mentoring, maybe it’s exploring an entirely new arena or breaking the moulds of the typical idol standards/routines. Even groups like BTS make me wonder, would one final comeback be enough, and is that actually healthier for the industry so new acts can carve out their own space?

I’ll share why we should be more leaving parties a little earlier, endings and how they don’t have to mean failure but instead legacy, freedom, and a whole new chapter.

This is my final episode until September 28th! 

Cos you lot are doing too much and I don't like it. 

Dishonesty hidden behind meaningless jargon you can't back up is NOT cute. It's way too early to be definitive in your judgements of these girls based on the material which makes me question WHY you'd rank someone highly when they haven't shown that skill. 

What's driving your bias? 

YEARS of speculation and conspiracies, now I'm going to add in some of mine haha. 

I hope one day we get answers and some closure because as a fan of these iconic 9 women, I still think day to day, what could've been? What went wrong? Who voted Jessica out? What the issue at heart? 

Happy 18th! 

I've said what I needed to say now we can lay it to rest. 

In this episode, I unpack the debut of “Xnghan & Xoul”, Seunghan’s long-anticipated return to the spotlight. After months of silence, controversy, and shifting narratives, how does his first step as a soloist land? We dive into the sound, visuals, lyrics, and the statement it sends. Was it worth the wait? 

Let’s talk artistry, public perception, and what this debut means for Seunghanniee and the ones who waited so long for his return.

New to K-pop or just confused by the layers of fan lingo, idol hierarchies, and viral choreography? In this episode, I break down AS MUCH as I can from sunbaes and maknaes to music shows, trainee life, and more. 

Whether you’re a casual listener or a confused friend of one, this crash course unpacks a bit about the wild, fascinating world of Korea’s most powerful cultural force.

After months of holding off, I finally sat down with RIIZE’s debut project ‘Odyssey’ on my channel. In this episode, I unpack the group’s musical choices or lack thereof and explore why their identity feels uncertain. Is this a group still finding their sound, or is something deeper missing?

Is the 5th gen of K-pop truly lacking or are we just caught in the golden glow of nostalgia? In this episode, I explore the love for 2nd and 3rd gen idols shapes our expectations for newer acts AND stops us from finding joy in the moment. 

From fan culture and music styles to performance trends and emotional connection, let’s break down why the past feels so powerful… and whether the present deserves more credit.

Although what started it all for me was a NON K-pop group lol I think discussing shipping without bringing them up just wouldn't cover it all! 

Very excited to hear your thoughts on this topic too! 

It's only as I'm posting this now I realised I didn't mention charts once LOOOL. I personally believe it's a mostly irrelevant measurement to a successful solo career because numbers do not mean everything, but your messaging and intention does. 

Also everyone discussed in this video is insanely successful already so their numbers are bound to do well but here we're looking at whether they managed to do something true to their identity or were just given songs anyone could sing and how fans can perceive this as a failure in establishing a good solo career.
