Ep. 100: A Look Baek...

Author: Ask Me About Kpop February 19, 2020 Duration: 1:15:04

(Baek 백 means 100 in Korean, can't resist a pun) Welcome to our 100th episode celebration! We had set out to come up with 100 things we've learned, and instead found the most important lessons are all that you, our listeners have shown us. Tune in for voicemails and emails from listeners and a whole lot of feelings and a few tears. But don't worry, we've still got a fun random game and some screaming about boys to do. Thank you all for listening to these last 100 episodes. It's truly our honor to be part of this journey with you. <3

For anyone who’s felt a spark of interest in Korean pop music but found the scene a bit overwhelming, or for the dedicated fan who just wants to share the excitement, Ask Me About Kpop is that conversation you've been looking for. Hosts Shannon and Angélica, best friends whose enthusiasm is contagious, break down the barriers each week. They blend deep dives into Kpop's rich history with explanations of essential vocabulary, all while celebrating the music itself. This isn't a formal lecture; it's the sound of two friends geeking out over the latest comeback, unpacking a group's legacy, or getting genuinely excited about a perfect music video. You'll find a welcoming space in this podcast whether you're learning the difference between a bias and a bias wrecker or you can recite entire fanchants. The joy and knowledge shared in every episode make Ask Me About Kpop a uniquely personal guide through the vibrant, fast-paced world of Korean pop, turning curiosity into understanding and solitary fandom into a shared celebration.
