BLACKPINK: Non-Blinks React to Contracts, Scandals, Solo Companies, and YG Entertainment Management
Season 4 · Episode 58
Tuesday, March 12, 2024 • Duration 01:46:35
Today, we will finally be covering one of K-Pop’s most popular girl groups, Blackpink. We waited to talk about Blackpink because we wanted to know where they were going to land once contract negotiations ended with YG Entertainment. So now that we know what's going on with 3 out of the 4 members, we thought it'd be a great time to talk about them.

DPR Update, Coming To You Live (Giggles, DPR Ian, REM, DPR Artic, and More)
Season 4 · Episode 55
Monday, January 29, 2024 • Duration 01:03:34
If you're aware of the K-Hip Hop and K-R&B scene, then you know DPR Live, currently performing under his government name, Hong Dabin. And if you follow the DPR members, you know the week of January 21 was CRAZY.
So, today we will be giving an update on the Dream Perfect Regime collective. If you're new, we released an episode on DPR back in September of 2022 where we gave an intro on who they are and what they do. And A LOT has happened since then – so much so that we felt that an update was absolutely necessary.
As always, please forgive any mispronunciations!

When we saw the promotions for one of Netflix's new K-Dramas, Doona!, we just knew we had to call our friend Jess from Daebak K-Rambles Podcast to discuss it, especially as a follow up to our joint episode on Dream High!
This episode is not a typical review of the K-drama as that's not what we do here, but we DO have some key angles we wanted to touch on:
Bae Suzy's growth (or lack thereof) as an actress in the 13 years since Dream High came out
The way Doona! touched on idol struggles (or didn't...)
The fanfic feel of it all
The Webtoon POV and the (questionable?) choices made by the author both for the webtoon and the screenplay
We had a blast going IN on the show with our friend Jess, and we're so thankful to her for joining us on this episode!
Today we’re going to be covering a solo artist: Jay B.
Lim Jaebeom, Defsoul, Def., JB, Jay B, JJ Project, Jus2... the man with more names, groups, subunits, collectives, and companies than most artists see in a whole lifetime. In this episode we'll be covering his foray into music, his trainee years, his acting credits, his years with GOT7 within JYP, his historic leadership over keeping the group together despite having all seven members signed to different companies, and his own solo journey through now three companies post-JYP Entertainment.

Fallen Idols: How B.I, Wonho, and Soojin’s Controversies Forced Them Out of Their Groups (But Not K-Pop)
Season 4 · Episode 52
Monday, December 4, 2023 • Duration 01:30:00
Today we’re going to be covering a topic that's a little controversial. We are going to talk about idols who have left their groups. We will specifically focus on 3 idols, the reasons why the left, and our opinions about it.
(And we have one more bonus idol at the end that wasn't forced out of the group, but we wanted to contrast the debut numbers for context.)
Please remember that a lot of the stories and accusations have not been proven true and to take everything we say with a grain of salt.
