Jason and Kevin discuss Netflix's new Blackpink documentary and what it's been like as longtime fans of Kpop to see the new Hallyu wave take over Gen Z, including the dark industry secrets they don't want you to know about.

When East meets East, we can only get stronger!! We speak with our good friend Maya Shin and find out about her childhood growing up in Siberia as a fourth-generation born Russian Korean, what she has learned about racism during adulthood in Prague, and what secret Asian recipes her Russian-Korean parents cook at home. 

Отлично!

Jason and Kevin catch up over Jason's recent move to Dessau, Germany to study, reflections on the student life, and most importantly, whether or not he could find any Chinese food nearby.

Jason turns the mic on Kevin for an insight into what it was like growing up on the east coast of Australia before moving to Central Eastern Europe.
