Ep. 142: 3rd Anniversary Celebration

Author: Ask Me About Kpop January 20, 2021 Duration: 1:51:37

It's AMAK's 3rd birthday already!! And our lovely discord mod Slowpoke Megan organized an actual fan project for listeners to send us love today!! *1000 sob emojis* We hope you like the sounds of boxes and envelopes opening cause we have a lot of that in this one! You can also watch the first 30 minutes of the present opening on our YouTube to see the glory of these gifts. Thank you to everyone who sent in something and the people who didn't say anything but listen every week anyway! You're the best! And we hope you really like us still because this week's random game music video is HORRIFYING. So there's loud screaming. But not the fun kind.


We love you all! Cheers to many more years learning about kpop together!!

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.
