TRIGGER WARNING at 12 mins - 20 mins for discussions of suicide and eating disorders

Wendy and our roommate Michelle are lovers of all things Kpop, so in this episode they discuss the problematic areas within Kpop culture. Topics like the structure and formula of entertainment companies grooming Kpop idols from an impressionably age, Kpop stars' mental and physical health, and the many levels of cultural appropriation within the genre.

This episode was lengthy so we decided to leave Michelle and Wendy's Kpop recommendations in our episode description:

Dean: Pour Up, Half Moon

Hwasa & Loco: Don't

Bibi: Kazino, Binu

Mamamoo: Their whole discography

2NE1: Fire, Follow Me, I am the Best
