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!!
