Today's ep is a silly one, as we're trying to make sense of the ways our brains try to make sense of lyrics in a language we don't speak (or in some cases, embarrassingly do). We're going over some of our own misheard Kpop lyrics with submissions from listeners like you thrown in! Then, help us manifest good news for the random game group, and hear all about the girl group that has recently stolen our hearts.
