Noona Ya Business Podcast

Welcome to Noona Ya Business podcast, Episode 51 "Seo In Guk Appreciation" with your hosts Becca and Megan. Who better to bring us back from a two year hiatus than Seo In Guk? Today we discuss four of his dramas: Reply 1997, High School King of Savvy, Doom at your Service, and we end with an unplanned analysis on The Smile Has Left Your Eyes. Today we debate ten year age gaps, discuss the implications of buying your crush a dog, and examine the fallout of dating your sibling. We also  consider running boring errands with the Grim Reaper, and alien, and Doom. That's what you're in for today on Noona Ya Business.

Welcome to Noona Ya Business podcast, episode 47 "Ghosted!" with your hosts Becca and Megan. Well, it's been almost a year since we last got together to chat like this, and a lot has happened. In today's episode, we're catching up on what we've been watching and listening to for the last twelve months, along with some big changes in our personal lives. We hope you forgive us for disappearing for so long - just think of it as one of our favorite drama tropes - a time jump! 

Welcome to Noona Ya Business podcast, episode 45 “Award Show Season” with your hosts Becca and Megan.   Today we discuss the recent winners (and losers) of the MAMA, Golden Disk and Melon Music Awards. We also discuss how voting is done for each show and the striking differences between American and Asian award shows.   We also play, “If BTS had to attend an award show, but not as themselves” game and thank everyone for participating in our first ever book club!   And have you ever heard of the game, “Fingers, fingers, where are your fingers?” Well, you have now. And good luck getting this one out of your head.   That’s what you’re in for today on Noona Ya Business.  

Welcome to Noona Ya Business podcast, episode 44 “Happy Noona Year” with your hosts Becca and Megan.   Today we bid farewell to 2018! We talk about the good times (and the bad), remember our friend, DramaFever, and discuss our own goals for the next year.   We also gear up for our first book club meeting (we can’t wait!), go over what Kpop idols would be as New Years resolutions, and Becca almost chokes to death on air.   From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for hanging out with us this year - we wish you all the happiest, healthiest, and most peace-filled new year!   That’s what you’re in for today on Noona Ya Business.

Welcome to Noona Ya Business podcast, episode 43 “One Year Anniversary (Part Two)” with your hosts Becca and Megan.   Today we pick up right where we left off last week… We dig into our favorite segments from the last year and give some additional commentary on each one. These were requested by listeners and you did not disappoint!   We finally decide to let “yer-gurt” go, tell you how to know when a slow saxing has ended, talk about the Noona Ya Business Bigfoot, and have fun listening to ourselves have a complete meltdown.   We also go into a completely impromptu and extremely deep conversation on why we’re drawn to certain Kdramas - AND - if you stick around until the end, there are bonus clips waiting just for you!   That’s what you’re in for today on Noona Ya Business.

Welcome to Noona Ya Business podcast, episode 42, “One Year Anniversary (Part 1)”, with your hosts Becca and Megan.   Forty-two episodes, 68-hours and 24-minutes of audio, and 365 days of podcasting… Today we celebrate one year of podcasting by digging into past episodes, reading listener messages, and inviting guests onto the show.   Megan “love actually’s” Jungkook, Becca has a “rotten’ tootin” holiday, and our significant others weigh in on the importance of having a bias.   So grab your cheap champagne, plastic cups, and chocolates so we can celebrate together - that’s what you’re in for today on Noona Ya Business.   ___________________________________________________________     ✌

Welcome to Noona Ya Business podcast, episode 41, “My Love From Another Star (Part 1)”, with your hosts Becca and Megan.   Today we cover all the juicy, outer-space goodness from the first half of My Love From Another Star.

Then this show is for you!   That’s what you’re in for today on Noona Ya Business.   ___________________________________________________________    

Welcome to Noona Ya Business podcast, episode 40 “Thankful For…” with your hosts Becca and Megan.   In the spirit of Thanksgiving, today we’re going over a list of things we’re thankful for. From Kpop + Kdramas to airport fashion photos, we cover a wide range of topics.   We also give some details on our BTS book club, announce a surprise 10K giveaway winner,  and discuss what Thanksgiving foods BTS members would be. All I can say is “Please, pass the gravy…”    That’s what you’re in for today on Noona Ya Business.    ___________________________________________________________     ✌

Welcome to Noona Ya Business podcast, episode 39 “Five Things on Our Mind” with your hosts Becca and Megan.   We each have five things on our mind today and we get together to suss them out. Megan wants to talk about Mono (the music, not the illness). Becca has conflicted feelings on While You Were Sleeping (the Kdrama not the American movie). And we both want to know why the Korean Entertainment industry makes it hard for us to Google things… BTS? BIGBANG? Help some fangirls out already!!   We also play a listener requested game, “What does BTS smell like?”   That’s what you’re in for today on Noona Ya Business.        

Welcome to Noona Ya Business podcast, episode 38 “Scary Things for Kpop and Kdrama Fans (the Halloween Edition)” with your hosts Becca and Megan.   Happy Halloween friends! Today we dig into a haunting topic - the scariest things that can happen to a Kpop and/or Kdrama fan. We’ve all been there, and we need to unpack the frightening feelings.   We also discuss the creepiness of Kpop / Kdrama trolls. End the show with a Halloween-themed game: GOT7 as Trick-or-Treaters. And read a transcription of Becca’s reaction to watching the popular zombie movie: “Train to Booze-an”.   Becca also wears a costume - but you’ll have to log into YouTube to see what it is.    That’s what you’re in for today on Noona Ya Business.   *Please Note* While Megan is traveling our audio setup is slightly different, meaning you may notice a decrease in the quality of the audio.

Welcome to Noona Ya Business podcast, episode 37 “Woman Crush Wednesday” with your hosts Becca and Megan.   Happy Woman Crush Wednesday - or Thursday - depending on what country you live in! Today we cover a listener requested topic, “Second Female Leads - the good, the bad, and the beautiful”. We deep dive into our love and admiration for some of the most talented women out there. We also vent our frustrations about the nasty way women are portrayed in some dramas… I swear, we’re not all evil, knifing, back-stabbing goddesses...   And it’s been one long week since DramaFever has departed and we want to know how you’re doing!! To help you get through this difficult time, we start the show by pairing wines with each stage of grief.   And we end the show with a listener requested game, just in time for Halloween: BTS as candy.   *Please Note* While Megan is traveling our audio setup is slightly different, meaning you may notice a decrease in the quality of the audio.

Welcome to Noona Ya Business Podcast 36, “In Loving Memory of DramaFever” with your hosts Becca and Megan.   Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to remember a close friend who brought us all together. Today, we fondly look back at our short time together with DramaFever. We read the obituary, we share our memories, we grieve as one. DramaFever, age 9, gone but not forgotten.   We also liven things up with the game “How BIGBANG would cope with losing DramaFever.” We also pick a winner for our 5K giveaway, give a book club update, and do our first video podcast!! You can listen via your favorite podcast subscription sites - OR - actually watch our sickly faces on YouTube. The choice is yours - and yours alone.   That’s what you’re in for today on Noona Ya Business.   *Please Note* While Megan is traveling our audio setup is slightly different, meaning you may notice a decrease in the quality of the audio.

Well. It happened. And we are still processing it. One week ago today we sat front row at the BTS: Love Yourself Tour. And today we unpack all of our feelings and emotions.   From Yoongi’s pajama suit, to Jimin’s giggle, and RM’s glasses. We replay the entire night.   Thank you to all our listeners who sent us well wishes and advice. Thank you to all of our new friends we made at the show. And thank you, personally, for being here again today. We can’t wait to talk to you all again!   Don't forget to connect with us!

  Today we need to talk about nice guy. The nice guy we defended in episode 24 (when we talked about the debilitating condition known as Second Male Lead Syndrome) because it turns out nice guy isn’t always so nice. In fact, sometimes he’s a psychotic nightmare-fueled relationship from the firey pits of the Earth. (We’re talking to you Temperature of Love and Your Honor!!) That’s right - we talk about when Second Male Lead Syndrome goes wrong…or right? However you want to look at it.   We also talk about a new game Becca’s husband likes to play. Almost cry over the fact that this is our last podcast together in person. Try to settle our nauseous stomachs because we’re seeing three Kpop concerts in the next five days. AND we do two listener game requests: If GOT7 were Disney characters and if BTS were Disney Princesses.   00:00 Intro 04:38 Three Kpop Concerts in Five Days 15:24 Let’s Reassess 26:08 Yang Se Jong (Duel) 34:38 GOT7 as Disney Characters 44:46 SMLS (Part 2) 1:18:44 BTS as Disney Princesses 1:33:20 BTS Concert Jitters 1:34:51 Wrap-up + Outro   Don't forget to connect with us!

Today’s episode is 100% listener requests. We break down a detailed, 12-step plan on how to fall in love - at least, how to fall in love according to Kdramas. You may want to take notes, because there is a rich jerk (with a hidden heart of gold) waiting to fall in love with you so he can serve you an insult sandwich.   Find out why the Han River is going to play a pivotal part in your relationship, why it’s super important to check the weather reports before you cue overdramatic crying spells, and why it’s all about location, location, location.   We also play two games for a dear friend of the podcast… Keeping on theme, we do “If GOT7 were KDrama characters” and “If BTS were KDrama tropes”. We’re routing for Mark and JB all day long (even if Yugyeom is the better choice) and we want all the extra JHopes - as long as we can get him, as often as we can get him, in every show we can get him.   And BONUS - IT’S TIME FOR ANOTHER GIVEAWAY! Stay tuned for details on our latest giveaway and find out how you can enter!   Don't forget to connect with us!

Welcome to Noona Ya Business Podcast Episode 32, “Crazy Rich Asians” with your hosts Becca and Megan.   Well, it may not be a Kdrama, but it is a distant cousin… We went to see “Crazy Rich Asians” in the theaters this weekend and have so many wonderful things to say about it!   We discuss the plot (warning, there are potential spoilers), our favorite scenes, the characters, the cast, and go in depth on why this is such an important movie for America right now.   We also talk about the one and only idol, Eric Nam and his family’s contribution to make sure this film was a box office success.   Plus, NEW SEGMENT ALERT! We go back in our friendship history and read old text messages in a segment called, “That’s What She Said”.   And we end with a listener request game - “If BTS were chain restaurants.” Find out why Jungkook has sticky floors and Jin loves breadsticks...   That’s what you’re in for today on Noona Ya Business.   *Potential Spoilers* Crazy Rich Asians   00:00 Intro 00:56 #RunBTSKindnessChallenge 02:26 Let’s Reasses 08:53 That’s What She Said 18:33 Podcast Shoutouts 22:45 Crazy Rich Asians 01:09:22 The Importance of Crazy Rich Asians 01:13:41 Eric Nam 01:19:30 BTS as Chain Restaurants 01:45:58 Wrap-up + Outro   Don't forget to connect with us!

And let me tell you - that was an experience.   We also do a game request: If BTS were dog breeds and dog owners. You’d think that would be a very specific request, but you know what?

"You're too old for fangirling..."   We collected your common KDrama and KPop issues and today we do a therapy session. We also talk about the struggles of being a Kpop and Kdrama fan in a world that doesn’t always understand us. And make a plea for the world to be little more accepting.

By popular request, we are covering the debilitating condition of SMLS, Second Male Lead Syndrome. It’s a common condition, and 9 out of 10 KDrama fans catch it at some point in their lives.   It can lead to heartbreak, mood swings, and fits of rage. There are no known cures. Today we go over good and bad examples of SMLS and ponder why Kdrama female leads have such poor choices in men. (Come on ladies - have higher standards for yourselves!)   Our game today is another listener request: “If BTS were Rom Coms + Meet Cutes”. We’re digging into our guilty pleasure archives for this one - and it was a blast from the past!   Don't forget to connect with us!

Because of tornadoes and flash flooding, we had to skip a week - and we missed all of you so much!

"Why NO ONE got BTS tickets." Okay, that's a small exaggeration, because *a few* people got BTS tickets. But, for the most part, there are a lot of disappointed and frustrated fans out there. Do you hear the sound of running water? That’s our tears. Because despite planning for weeks, recruiting a football team of supporters, and logging in sixteen hours early, we did not get BTS tickets. But you know what? Neither did anyone else.   Today we dig deep. We expose the reality of ticket buying and interview inside sources to reveal why none of us got tickets. Spoiler: You’ll be angry.   We also give you suggestions on ways to get over your grief. And give you reasons why securing tickets isn’t completely J-Hopeless. So buckle up. Today is full of twists and turns, highs and lows, and we guarantee we’ll be a rollercoaster of emotions.   Also, very sincerely, Megan and I are sending you all the love we have. Stay optimistic, keep looking, and we know you’ll get your well deserved spot.   00:00 Intro 1:12 J-NOPE 11:07 Game: If BTS couldn’t get BTS tickets… 19:41 Buying tickets 22:10 Disappearing tickets 25:56 Social media BTS ticket stats 27:50 Listener e-mails about ticket buying 36:12 Math alert: Your actual chances of getting tickets 46:02 It’s not just BTS 49:11 Legal, but not ethical (and other examples) 53:36 What you can do about the drama… 55:23 If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em 1:00:40 Adding another show isn’t the answer 1:01:08 Make a donation to UNICEF or another charitable cause 1:02:34 Buy BTS merchandise 1:10:13 A letter with BTS songs 1:12:24 Perspective 1:16:18 Thank you listeners!!   Don't forget to connect with us!

Today we vent. There are ten topics we’ve been stressing about and today we get them off our chests. We touch on the current Kdrama drought, beg listeners to help us find ways to stream Pretty Noona who buys me food and Empress Ki, talk about the Mullet outbreak in Kpop, and psych ourselves up for buying BTS tickets.    Speaking of BTS, our chance to buy World Tour tickets is this afternoon - so to prepare ourselves we wrote letters to our future selves. One letter to calm us down, in case we get tickets. And one letter to console ourselves, in case we don’t get tickets.   We also play two BTS-related games - both dedicated to new listeners. We describe BTS as if there were college students, and BTS and if they were dream vacations. That’s what your in for today, on Noona Ya Business!   00:00 Intro 01:47 Let’s Reassess 10:29 If BTS were college students (dedicated to our new listener) 22:29 Boys Over Flowers 2 IS COMING 24:45 10 Random Topics 26:11 Topic #1: WHY CAN’T WE FIND THESE SHOWS?! 28:55 Topic #2: KDrama Drought 32:10 Topic #3: Upcoming Shows 34:22 Topic #4: Kpop Corner 36:34 Topic #5: Mullet Outbreak in Kpop 42:33 Topic #6: Burn the Stage Update (Episode 7) 48:26 Topic #7: Fan Disconnect 50:37 Topic #8: Bridging the Gap 54:39 Topic #9: Meanwhile, in America... 57:46 Topic #10: The STRESS of buying BTS tickets 1:00:03 Becca’s Letter: If we DO NOT get BTS tickets 1:04:55 Megan’s Letter: If we DO get BTS tickets 1:14:50 BTS as Vacations 1:30:40 Outro   Don't forget to connect with us!
