The Kpopcast crew dives deep into Netflix's animated hit "Kpop Demon Hunters" - and they're completely obsessed!

They discuss the film's authentic portrayal of fan culture, the clever metaphors about industry exploitation, hilarious K-drama tropes, and why this movie works for both hardcore K-pop stans and complete newcomers.

Lately, the general consensus seems to be: K-pop is bigger than ever before —and that's to be celebrated— but it's also ... different. The music trends are changing and, depending on who you ask, it's not always for the better. Especially among multi-stans, there seems to be a newfound sense of overwhelm and fatigue due to the relentless amount of content churned out by K-pop.All of this has us thinking: Are we entering a new era of K-pop? Is K-pop's rapid growth stalling? Dare we ask: Has K-pop Hit a Plateau? To help us understand where K-pop is today, we're joined in a roundtable discussion by friends of the pod, DJ Peter Lo of the Kpopcast podcast and Tamar Herman, a longtime K-pop journalist and author of the newsletter Notes On K-pop.We don't promise to have all the answers, but maybe we can share some good thought starters!

We've tabled the reporting this week to bring you a special bonus episode in the form of a little game we're calling, "Battle of the B-sides." Now, before you get ahead of yourself—there is no singing OR actual "battle" taking place. Instead, we're taking a deep dive into the B-sides of one of our favorite K-pop artists to figure out which non-title-track is our favorite.Here's how it works: Two teams will each share their Top 2 album B-sides from an artist and then will make the case for why it's that idol's “winning” B-side! A not-so-impartial judge will help to choose a winner over a few rounds of debate. By the end of it all, we hope you'll come away with a deeper appreciation for an artist's music as well some new songs to listen to! To make this all happen, we've invited our friends over at the Kpopcast to join us for our inaugural Battle of the B-sides: HYUNA Edition!That's right—for this episode we're starting off with none other than the remarkable, one-of-a-kind, and iconic HYUNA!EPISODE RUNDOWN:Team Intros: "Sounds Like K-pop" VS "The Return of 2PM" (3:24)First Impressions of HYUNA (5:53)Round 1: "Get Outta My House" VS "ICE ICE" (17:28)Round 2: "Freaky" VS "Show Window" (30:01)THE BEST B-SIDE!

Why are kpop fans considered crazed consumers? Why are kpop idols undermined for “not writing their music”? Why does the American music industry only recognize BTS when they release songs in English? In this episode, we break down some of the myths around kpop and turn the narrative on ourselves as Americans to ask – what makes us believe these myths in the first place? Let's put on our critical thinking caps to explore the way we view the American and Korean music industries. And we couldn't do it without the help of Stephanie Parker, kpop fan since ‘04 and co-host of The Kpopcast! Check out The Kpopcast on all podcast platforms + follow on Twitter for weekly live chats!
