KPOP KORNER

First of all we want to apologise for going ABSOLUTELY FERAL over the comebacks lol... BECAUSE EVERYONE AND THEIR MAMAS HAD A COMEBACK IN MAY!!! 

It was a relatively quiet month (except for the Kim Garam situation (CA Bullying) which you can skip 21:00 - 30:00) other than that it was just your average KPOP month; exciting debuts, unexpected goodbyes, e-wordings, and of course some broadcasting company getting in trouble lol. 

Thank you for listening as always

SO COME JOIN US IN CARATLAND, AND TRUST US YOU WON’T REGRET BECOMING A CARAT. 💖  (I hope I did them justice in this ep 😅)

This is perhaps our most chaotic monthly recap yet... and we apologize! Not a lot of stuff happened in April yet we still felt like we had a lot to say! From performances at coachella to strange comeback concepts and of course some dating rumors, honestly April had it all... BUT WE ARE JUST PREPARING FOR THE STORM THAT IS MAY. 

**Just a little CW we talked about EPEX's comeback and the Antisemitism accusations if you want to skip it starts at 27:55 - 29:28.

Whether you've been in KPOP for a while or you're still a newborn... you definitely know that no one on Earth is as observant as KPOP Stans! From tiny reflections on utensils to different entertainment worlds colliding in the most random way!? It's time we honor/talk/laugh about some of the most ridiculous and funniest scandals that came out of this tiny KPOP bubble we live in. 

https://linktr.ee/KpopKorner

** The majority of these rumors have been debunked and we're just sharing them cause they're funny - genuinely nothing is serious here lol **

The first month of the year is over AND WOW WHAT A YEAR THIS MONTH'S BEEN. To put it nicely... January in KPOP was full of disappointment, and Covid Cases BUT WOW DID THE MUSIC MAKE UP FOR IT ALL!!! We recorded this on a Monday so we naturally struggled to get any words out today lol sorry about that. 

Also MR FBI man listening to the podcast... thank you for making some of our dreams/nightmares come true (This is Marah Speaking) 

Thank you for listening always

https://linktr.ee/KpopKorner 

It's late BUT AT LEAST ITS HERE!!! Time for another monthly recap and it's FOR THE LAST MONTH OF 2021! What a year it's been. Thank you for all the idols who have worked hard and gave us KPOP babies, we truly are blessed!

We quickly talked about the EXPO KPOP concert that happened last week so if you want to skip - start listening from 6:38 :)

Thank you always for listening, AND THANK YOU FOR GIVING US A RATING! WE DIDNT EVEN KNOW THAT WAS A THING

https://linktr.ee/KpopKorner

The second of 3 parts of KPOP Korner's End of Year Awards Series! This one is all about the B-Sides! Each of us chose 10 B-sides from 2021 and then ended it with our joint top two! It was an emotional journey, from lots of predictable options, to completely new ones - followed by INSTANT regrets. If you dont believe how hard it is to rank your top 10 (AND TOP 10 ONLY) B-sides, then you should definitely try out yourself and let us know ;) 

Thank you always for listening! 

https://linktr.ee/KpopKorner

HAPPY 30 EPISODES!!! To celebrate this milestone we have asked YOU, the listeners, to tell us your Delulu moments, KPOP (Day)Dreams, Embarrassing stories, guilty pleasures, hidden gems, anything really to make us feel better a little bit better about all our confessions AND WOW YOU GUYS REALLY DELIVERED!!!

We cant thank you enough for allowing us to be a small part of your day, and for making this truly a safe and fun space for us all to talk about our favourite thing... KPOP!

It's time for yet ANOTHER monthly recap! Listen to us go through all the main news stories that happened in November, from some of our faves cancelling very important plans **CRYING IN ALICE** to SOME OF THE MOST AMAZING COMEBACKS TO HAVE COME OUT THIS YEAR!!!!!! Listen to us absolutely stutter and struggle through this month and of course breaking the rules while going through our monthly recommendations (only because Laila went to the BTS concert and Marah had to endure the "Laila's at a BTS concert are you jealous" for an entire week). 

***We had a mini MAMAs reaction to NCT 127's performance and the Daesangs at the end of the episode starting 48:28

And as always, thank you for listening

AFTER A LONG LONG TIME WE ARE FINALLY BACK!! It's time for that October Recap we completely missed (sorry its towards the end of November life has just been crazy). This Recap episode is a little different - Marah is flying solo because Laila is on her way to LA to see BTS LIVE AND WE ARE SO HAPPY FOR HER AND NOT AT ALL JEALOUS.

So please bear with me (Marah) as I try to go through one of the cursed months in KPOP aka October that turned out to be surprisingly tame! Thank you and I'm sorry.

We're baaaaaack!! Took a mini break but with KPOP thriving in the UAE right now we couldn't miss the chance to go to our first kpop concert together - we absolutely lost our minds. The line up was INCREDIBLE - Kim Jae Hwan, DKB, Nam Woo Hyun & Brave Girls... honestly we can't decide who our faves were! SO MUCH HAPPENED, one of us got to see one of her bucket list songs live and Laila's long standing beef with the Dubai Fountains is OVER!!! 

Anywaaaay here's us working through post concert depression. kthnksforlisteningloveyoubye.

Did we just find the perfect KPOP Book? UH MAYBE! 

We sat down with Sahar and Sabrina from InVision Publishing to talk about their first ever SELF PUBLISHED KPOP Book; A Million Beginnings (1st book of the Million Series) - The story of a KPOP Boy group, Millions, preparing for their surprise comeback after a 2 year long hiatus... from secret romance to personal challenges within the KPOP Community THIS BOOK GOT IT ALL and we were absolutely HONOURED when Sahar and Sabrina reached out to give us an editor's copy before the book's official publishing date in November, and let's just say WE ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK!!! 

Sahar and Sabrina tell us the story of how they came up with the idea of creating this entire KPOP world from scratch, what it's like to publish and write a KPOP story, and what this series promises its readers in the future! OH AND ALSO THEIR FICTIONAL BAND'S GOT ITS OWN INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT... AND SO DOES THEIR ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY. THAT'S HOW INCREDIBLE THIS SERIES IS GOING TO BE!

Just a quick life update "CHECKININN" episode! We tried to record an episode but failed TWICE... so instead we decided to do a very quick episode with what's been going on and it ended up being another KPOP KONFESSIONS episode. We spilled our deepest and most embarrassing delulu daydreams and so much more (it was 100% unintentional). Also we left a very quick message to Jackson Wang so please someone pass it on to him thanks x.

WE ARE BAACK!!! We took a little mental health break but now we are back with our favourite type of episode ever, THE MONTHLY RECAP EPISODE!

This month was WILDING; full of dating scandals, surprise marriage announcement, SECRET marriage and divorce, random Hollywood KPOP crossovers, and of course... your usual chaos and us losing our minds because of the OVERWHELMING amount of NEWS! 

We give a quick little life update so official recap starts at 8:27

Thank you for listening, always.

In light of recent events with Cube Entertainment's (G)I-DLE, we decided to do a little story time of how Cube has dealt with major scandals in the past. From the sudden disbandment of 4Minute, BEAST's exit, Dawn and Hyuna's Dating Scandal, the ghosting of Yanan, the negligence of CLC, to  Soojin's departure. You will start noticing a pattern with their response to it all and it is

So sit back, relax, grab some snacks, and maybe a pillow to hug BECAUSE THIS ONE IS STRESSFUL.

Another month... another monthly recap! One of the busiest months in KPOP this year (so far)! So sit back and relax while we recap the main headlines, news stories, and comebacks for this month, and naturally struggle while doing so - especially while choosing our monthly recommendations :') All our news headlines are from reliable KPOP news sources (no AllKPOP or Koreaboo cause we dont stan them in this household). Let's goo!!!!

https://linktr.ee/KpopKorner

*Quick Announcement: We will start releasing our Episodes Saturday/Sundays instead of Wednesday/Thursdays due to our work schedule. Thank you

It's that time every KPOP Boy Group fan knows is coming... Military Enlistment. AAAAND one of us had to deal with it more than the other so we prepared a complete guide on what to do when your fave has to enlist and how to deal with it. From basic understanding of the different levels and service durations, apps you can download to help you get updates on your faves, to how we personally try to get through this (crying mainly). So grab some snacks, maybe water to hydrate while you suffer, and a notepad.

Welcome to The Lonely Military Wives Club. We hate it here.

JUNE IS OVER ALREADY??? WHAT!!!! AND OMG THERE WAS SO MUCH MUSIC!! From Laila's ultimate band making a comeback to us discovering that the Podcast may or may not have spooky powers O_O  Join us as we recap all the main news stories and comebacks from June. Naturally the episode will take a chaotic turn as we completely lost our minds over all the comebacks this month! Also just heads up - we may have went overboard with the screaming :') so if youre using headphones - be careful haha - so sorry.
