Twinnings - Ep #3 - Before KPop, there was F4


Listen Later

This one's for the OG Asian pop guys and girlies.

2000s kids, do you remember being glued to ABS-CBN at 5:30 PM? 

It's the Meteor Garden phase. 

We're diving into F4: the Taiwanese boy band that owned our hearts before K-pop was even a thing. 

Andrea admits she was team Lee Min Ho. Anne goes full historian on why F4 defined Asian pop culture for the millennials.

We talk about why they quietly disbanded (spoiler: no training, all pressure). 

We also dedicate this episode to Barbie Hsu, our Shan Cai, who made us accept ourselves as loud and at the same time, quiet girlies.  

Whether you were eight and confused or fully invested in the drama, this one hits different.

Twin Energy. Slightly offbeat.

Come for the laughs, stay for the realness.

Corrections: 
Anne mentioned Mel B but meant Mel C (who worked with Vanness as a judge on Asia's Got Talent). Anne said she watched the Chinese variety show in 2004 when it was actually 2024, and Anne mentioned in Ep #2 that Zeegy is a he, but she's a bitch.

Anne's mouth just really has a mind of its own most of the time. So sorry about that.
