It's our last episode of 2019, and we wouldn't know how else to spend it but with YOU our listeners. We received an insane amount of emails from you describing your favorite Kpop memories of 2019. So today we are reading a selection of them for you! We've got great concert memories, new bias groups, new hobbies and more. Capping off with a listener voice memo that made us laugh so hard. We're so grateful for all of you tuning in this year and we look forward to all that 2020 has for us! Happy New Year!! <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.
