Although this year’s World Scout Jamboree was filled with problems (including criminal charges, dangerous weather, accusations of poor planning, a blame game, and tension with sports superfans), there were also moments when South Korean businesses and places of worship stepped up and tried to still give scouts special memories. This episode covers both the highs and lows of this year’s Jamboree and its K-pop concert finale. Then, this episode tackles some other recent news stories: the latest in FIFTY FIFTY’s legal battle, suppression of a documentary, some SEVENTEEN updates, and more.


Tune into 17 Carat K-Pop, where host Hope Jacobson blends sharp music commentary with a genuine passion for the vibrant world of Korean pop. This podcast goes beyond just the latest headlines, weaving together industry news, thoughtful album reviews, and deep dives into the intricate lore of music video universes. Whether exploring the rich history that shaped the genre or focusing on the artistic journey of specific idols and groups, each episode is crafted for both seasoned fans and curious newcomers. You'll find a thoughtful analysis that treats K-pop as both a global cultural force and a compelling art form. The feed also includes episodes of Enthusiasts, a companion show delving into various fan communities and the broader culture of fandom itself. Together, these discussions create a unique space that celebrates the music while examining the structures and communities that surround it. Join a global audience from over fifty countries who listen for Hope's informed and engaging perspective. Discover the layers behind the music in every episode of this podcast.
