Not Your Average Netizens

On the first part of a two-part episode of Not Your Average Netizens, it's comebacks galore as we ponder this burning question: does anyone believe Blackpink's album will be out in October? Plus, K-pop companies are on the rebound and Hwasa and Jessi are not invited to the cookout.

On this episode of Not Your Average Netizens, we examine why K-pop's "social justice savior" narrative has been created at the exclusion of the Black fans that are supposed to be helped. We also take on Won Nation, idol singing skills and we delve into the extremely scientific digression of whether or not we indeed saw Junhoe of Ikon's butt on camera. Plus - stan ChloexHalle. Stan queens.

It's back to K-pop business for another week, as we talk about drunk driving idols, Amber and Twitter trolls, BTS donate their pocket change to Black Lives Matter, and fancams. So many fancams. Note: we had some technical difficulties in this episode, so we apologize if you hear a little snap, crackle, and pop while we speak.

Shout Outs1:18:50

In this episode of Not Your Average Netizens, we tackle a topic we normally do not shy away from: racism. Specifically, the value of Black lives in the K-pop sphere and society as a whole. We at NYAN consider ourselves a Black podcast, and thus, it was imperative that we address the issues that have recently plagued our country. We found it important to not only discuss racism and prejudice permeate the K-pop industry but how it affects us as well. We hope that this episode is able to provide you with something: a sense of release, a desire to learn, motivation to support Black Lives Matter, or hope. We're all in this together, and sometimes if we just listen to one another we'll realize we are more alike then different. Stay safe and keep up the good fight.
