What's Kpoppin?

In this episode, I discuss the backlash Lisa (Blackpink) has been getting recently and how she triumphed over it before segueing into a discussion on foreigners in the Kpop industry. Should the industry be more inclusive or is it fine as it is?

Every kpop group has roles - visual, leader, main rapper, dancer, lead vocalist, etc. In this epsiode, I discuss kpop roles with a non-kpop fan (General Anonymous), how these roles are maintained, and whether or not some positions are deserved. Do you think it's fair for someone to be in a kpop group just because they have nice visuals? (There are some muffled audio bits in this episode, but not for long. Raising the volume will help. I'll try to be more aware of the audio from here on out.)

In this quick episode, I discuss ageism in the kpop industry and how it relates to other industries with a non-kpop fan (General Anonymous). Do you think seasoned kpop artists are as respected as younger artists?

We can probably all agree that CLC is a very talented group. However, their juniors, (G)-Idle, are winning when CLC has not in almost 4 years! To rationalize this, I bring in a non-kpop fan to give his opinion.

Since the "Jennie is Lazy" bandwagon seems to have subsided, I discuss the phenomenon in hindsight. Was it fair to view Jennie (Blackpink) in this light or was it undeserved?

In this quick segment, a non-kpop fan asks me which is better - a small company like RBW or a big company like SM ENTERTAINMENT. What do you think?

Dispatch revealed that Jennie (Blackpink) and Kai (Exo) are dating! Usually dating "scandals" are not well received by kpop fans, but that is not the case this time. In this episode, I discuss my reaction to the news and compare it to past dating "scandals".
