EP 36: What's Wrong With "Cookie" by NewJeans?

Author: Bingu, Choom, & K-Pop Tunes August 16, 2022 Duration: 45:11

Garnering quite a bit of attention with their debut and breaking records for girl group first day sales on Hanteo charts, NewJeans is likely the beginning of a new trendsetting teenage group. A new girl group of HYBE under sub-label ADOR, the 5-member group is not only popular with likable music, but is gaining traction due to some worry from the K-Pop fanbase over their age, concept, and some questionable lyric choices in their official debut song, "Cookie." In this episode, Bingu & Choom give their opinions as well as voice their own worries and concerns on the matter.


Lacey and Rainah are here with Bingu, Choom, & K-Pop Tunes, a space that feels more like hanging out with friends who are just as deep into the scene as you are. This isn't a formal news broadcast, but a genuine conversation that dives past the headlines. You'll hear their personal takes on the latest comebacks, deep dives into the culture surrounding the music, and unpacking of industry updates that actually matter to fans. Each episode balances informed discussion with the kind of enthusiasm that comes from truly loving the subject. Tuning into this podcast means getting a blend of insightful commentary and relatable fandom, all while exploring the vast and vibrant world of Korean music. Whether you're a seasoned stan or just curious about what all the buzz is about, Lacey and Rainah offer a welcoming and engaging perspective that makes every release feel like a shared experience. They built this show from their own passion, and that authentic, chatty vibe is what keeps the conversation flowing and the recommendations coming.
