On this episode we tried not to let BTS dominate the podcast…and failed. Of course, about 70% of the conversation is about racial dynamics in K-pop, so we can probably be forgiven. We also wax poetic about the atrociousness of the term “reggae hair,” and just how much better will Big Bang sound without Seungri? Also, get ready to put your cringe hats on, because Mnet has a hip-hop survival show in the works. Leave us a comment and let us know what you think about the show.

As expected, it's time for a special episode devoted to Chen from EXO's upcoming baby and nuptials. Nat and Jemin break down what this means for K-pop, if anything, and somehow tie idol fan culture to life, the universe and everything.

We're back with the first episode of the new year, and don't worry, we've still got plenty to say! K-pop is giving us more than enough to look forward to in 2020, with new relationships, scandals and proof that Big Bang isn't dead yet! We've also got some special things in the pipeline for the podcast, so keep your eyes peeled!

It’s the definitive K-pop list of the decade! Well, in our minds it is. Join Ashe, Nat and Jemin as they debate and create Not Your Average Netizens Top 100 K-pop Songs of the Decade. It’s so colossal we needed two podcasts to record it all! In Part One, we whittle down an unwieldy collection of our favorite songs down to the best 100, and battle over our individual picks. Part Two documents the considerable struggle of assigning our favorites their all-important number on the list. Will we prevail in formulating the ultimate K-pop of the decade primer, or lose our sanity in the process? Only one way to find out! Check out both episodes and let us know what you think. Do you agree with our picks? What would you put in their place? Let us know, and don’t forget to listen, like and share the episode on Soundcloud!
