| 09 Mar 2022 | 10 Years of Big Bang's "Fantastic Baby" | 01:02:38 | |
10 years ago, Big Bang released "Fantastic Baby." Shortly after its release, the song would go on to become not just one of the band's most popular songs, but also one of the most popular and iconic songs of K-pop itself. For its time, the critical reception surprised YG himself and cemented the group's electronic sound for the years to follow. In this episode, we look back at the importance of this song in the broader context of Big Bang's history. Consider this a fun look back as we prepare for the group's anticipated return this quarter! Correction: a previous version of this episode said that Daesung was driving under the influence. We've updated this episode to note that an autopsy revealed that the motorcycle victim had a blood alcohol level of 0.186.

| 23 Mar 2022 | (G)I-DLE's "TOMBOY" in the context of an anti-feminist presidency | 01:28:50 | |
The concept-masters of (G)I-DLE gave a "Tomboy" femme fatale look for their latest single. If this sounds like a mixed metaphor to you, you're not alone. In this episode we take a deep look at the song's concept and lyrics, and what it means in the context of an incoming anti-feminist presidential administration. Subject matter experts—John Lee, the blogger/columnist/Twitter commentariat known as the Korean Foreigner; and Hye Jin Lee, Clinical Assistant Professor of Communication at USC—provide additional color. We also offer some recommended "hit replays" from the album. We additionally recommend reading a paper by Jieun Lee and Hyangsoon Yi which speaks to the recent configuration of "ssenunni" in hallyu/K-pop.

| 06 Apr 2022 | Does K-pop Need The Grammys? | 01:01:57 | |
The Grammys. An award presented by the Recording Academy to recognize "Outstanding Achievement in the music industry" of the United States. For K-pop fans who may believe their bias is an immaculate jesus, the award can act as a point for artistic merit or recognition. In a 2021 interview with the Korea Herald, Suga remarked that he hopes the group will win a Grammy before the end of their career. It can be argued that BTS has made music award shows relevant again following an ongoing trend of declining ratings and interest in music awards. But with the recent misses for awarding BTS a Grammy - what signs does this signal for k-pop fans? What actually matters? How do you think we should interpret last night’s news? This episode is a recording of a recent #kpopchat we held on Twitter Spaces.

| 13 Apr 2022 | Sky Castle K-Drama Review | 01:23:08 | |
Are you tired of the lack of real social commentary in recent K-Pop? In The Kpopcast’s first ever K-Drama review, we discuss the critically acclaimed “SKY Castle,” which was just made available on Netflix. For fans of biting social critique like Parasite and Squid Game, SKY Castle is an exquisitely crafted takedown of the upper class and capitalism. Co-hosts Stephanie and Ghee_Dragon welcome special guest Sam from Southpaw aka @LiberationistMA (Twitter), who points out filming techniques and Korean historical context in the drama that viewers might have missed.

| 27 Apr 2022 | "K-Pop Revolution" with Stephan Lee | 01:06:43 | |
What goes into writing a young adult novel which touches on K-pop themes? In this episode we connect with Stephan Lee—YA enthusiast, ardent K-pop fan, and journalist—as we discuss his two novels "K-pop Confidential" and "K-pop Revolution." We touch on some familiar topics - capitalism, exploitation, and draw parallels between America's higher education and the K-pop trainee system. Be sure to pick up "K-pop Revolution" from your local bookstore or virtually anywhere you get your novels. We also plug the Name 3 Songs Podcast.

| 19 Aug 2022 | Why are our expectations so low for K-Pop concerts? | 00:50:24 | |
It’s time to be honest: K-Pop concerts in America are not always perfect. While there are a few high production value events, most are charging AAA prices - that sell out - for mediocre shows. Is it fair that fans around the world receive a lower quality experience, when K-Pop labels are bringing in more profits than ever? We had a full house of experts from various parts of the K-Pop scene weigh in on this topic. Chris from @cctvpops shared from his experience working for a major American music label. Todd Inoue @nattotodd covers K-Pop concerts for the SF Chronicle. And T currently works for a K-pop concert production company in the Bay Area.

| 07 Oct 2022 | What's Really Driving the Sexualization of Minors in K-Pop? | 00:53:18 | |
NewJean’s ‘cookie’ raised a lot of eyebrows. It was a song presented by teenage girls-mostly under the age of 16-singing lyrics that were partly interpreted as being sexual in nature amongst English-speaking listeners. It kicked off a debate that isn’t entirely new for k-pop, namely, the prevalence of sexualized minors in k-pop. What's driving this trend? How precedented is this? And what should morally conscious fans do about content of this kind?

| 28 Oct 2022 | The "Dark Side of Kpop" Clichés | 01:03:23 | |
As part of our spoooookkkyy hallyuweeen series we discuss why we see so much western media coverage on the "dark side of k-pop," which rely on clichéd tropes. We welcome K-pop journalists Crystal Bell and Todd Inoue for this discussion to weigh in on what they're seeing from the newsroom perspective.

| 28 Feb 2024 | Why do Fans Bark at K-pop Concerts? | 01:21:00 | |
Surely, at some point in your North American K-pop concert experience, you've experienced the woof. How are we supposed to feel about barking at K-pop concerts, and where does it come from?

The panelists offer some alternatives to making animal noises at K-pop shows and provide other casual reflections stemming from the bark - like the meaning of K-pop itself.

| 15 Nov 2024 | HALLYU! At The Asian Art Museum of San Francisco with Yoon-Jee Choi | 00:51:00 | |
In this episode, we discuss the new exhibition "Hallyu! The Korean Wave" at the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, featuring Yoon-Jee Choi, the assistant curator of the Korean Art Department. Our conversation explores several questions, including where we should draw the line for what counts as "Hallyu" or "K-pop," whether K-pop is inherently linked to capitalism, and who the target audience is for an exhibit like this. The exhibition features approximately 250 objects—costumes, props, photographs, videos, pop culture ephemera, and contemporary works—providing an immersive and multisensory journey through a fascinating history, and a celebration of a vibrant creative force that bridges cultural, societal, and linguistic divides and continues to reach new heights today.
