Somehow we haven't done a song battle episode in over a year?? So we felt like we needed to make it bigger and better by starting with 15 songs instead of 10! That makes it MEGA! And we made the Patreon patrons help us choose the winners of this battle, because that's what they pay for!

Last weekend a seemingly impossible Kpop dream more than 12 years in the making came true. This is a recounting of our attendance at SMTOWN LA 2025 to the best of our memory which is spotty because our hearts and minds were lost in Kwangya.

Ooops, it's a weird Friday episode! Last time we went 20 years into the past, and instead of coming all the way back to the present we're only gonna skip 10 and make a stop in an incredible year of Kpop, 2015.
This is the full audio version with the video playing underneath.

We're heading back 20 years ago once again, and this time it's a more barren landscape than we're used to. Rock bands and ballad singers are dominating the charts and the music shows, and the Soompi archive is broken so we're blind to any fun news stories, but Shannon still managed to find some things to talk about that feel close to the Kpop we're used to. The 2nd gen is almost here, but just not quite...

The construct of time and other realities of life are kicking our butts and we didn't make enough episodes in March. Shannon feels terrible so listen to her whine and then make a recommendation that ties so incredibly loosely to the episode ahead. When she's done yapping, there's a whole patreon episode from Halloween 2023 where Shannon parodied her favorite podcast and recapped the 2019 Korean horror film '0.0 MHz'! Which stars Eunji from APink and Sungyeol from INFINITE, so it's like, definitely Kpop related enough. Sorry sorry sorry.

It's movie club time, and this movie is our easiest to watch yet! Today's short film, 'Seoul Switch' stars friend of the podcast (who has no idea he is our friend) Kevin Woo as BOTH main characters! It's only 12 minutes long, and we really think you should watch it - but if you don't have time then we'll tell you about it anyway! Stay tuned to hear the random number generator laugh in the faces of our plans to try and make this episode not so short.

We're gonna start off 2025 and the official 7th year of AMAK with a good old fashioned deep dive! And the stars of our show today are a girl group that has existed almost exactly as long as the podcast, so fittingly today's ep is about the first 7 years of fromis_9! Listen to us TALK&TALK for probably too long about just how much FUN! it is to watch fromis_9 dance and how surprisingly emotional all their Feel Good music makes us. Good luck in the future to all 9 members, we cannot wait to see where you go from here!

It's already halfway through January, but we're still talking about 2024 one last time! This is the episode where we try to use loose math and nonsense reasoning to rank Kpop songs and pick the 15 best ones. And this year is fun because due to tallying reasons, we actually have 16 top songs!! Yaaay a bonus!! (Warning: We were emotionally fraught on this recording day and maybe we cry over a girl group song... just like, don't judge.)

Merry Christmas Alikes! Here's a slightly early Christmas gift for you! We're starting up our wrap up of 2024 with the episode where we unearth some hidden gems from albums that we loved this year. As is tradition, we've got 30 songs for you to (hopefully) enjoy and for us to gush over. Check back with us in 2025 (wtf how is that a real year?) for the rest of our yearly wrap up episodes!
