Ep. 257: 15 Years Later, U-KISS Isn't Standing Still

Ep. 257

It's time for an extra long deep dive, because this group's discography and drama is extra long! This week, we're learning all about 2nd gen boy group U-KISS on the heels of their special 15th Anniversary comeback. Meet all 10 members of U-KISS from throughout time and try to keep track of who was in the group at which time. Then, listen to a pretty extensive discography of a group that was never as popular at home in Korea as they were in other parts of Asia and Latin America. Finishing it out with a ceremonial burying of the hatchet in the name of celebrating their together time as idols. With plenty of stops to discuss messy personal lives and troubles between the members along the way. Thanks for sticking it out U-KISS! We hope you continue this new chapter in your 30s, and it's better than it was in your teens.

  • 281. Ep. 281: Taemin is Eternal and Other Recent Happenings

    01:44:32||Ep. 281
    Y'all always ask for these, so here's another episode where we just talk about random things that are currently on our Kpop minds. First we must start with a very important day, TAEMIN'S DAY! We're giving our first listen reactions to Taemin's new album and watching the music video for 'Sexy In The Air' for the very first time LIVE ON THE POD! Then, we give you some recommendations and simultaneously gush about comebacks we've been enjoying lately, and cautiously hope about upcoming Kpop happenings. And finally, we explain and play the random game because apparently it's been confusing new listeners, sorry about that.

We've got lots of new additions to the con to tell you about, and changes in general atmosphere to old lady complain about. Plus, tales of being SO FREAKING CLOSE to idols we never dreamed of seeing in maybe the most surreal moments of our Kpop lives.
