What goes into writing a young adult novel which touches on K-pop themes? In this episode we connect with Stephan Lee—YA enthusiast, ardent K-pop fan, and journalist—as we discuss his two novels "K-pop Confidential" and "K-pop Revolution." We touch on some familiar topics - capitalism, exploitation, and draw parallels between America's higher education and the K-pop trainee system.
Be sure to pick up "K-pop Revolution" from your local bookstore or virtually anywhere you get your novels.
We also plug the Name 3 Songs Podcast. Find them on your favorite podcast platform or visit https://name3songs.com.

Are you tired of the lack of real social commentary in recent K-Pop? In The Kpopcast’s first ever K-Drama review, we discuss the critically acclaimed “SKY Castle,” which was just made available on Netflix. For fans of biting social critique like Parasite and Squid Game, SKY Castle is an exquisitely crafted takedown of the upper class and capitalism. Co-hosts Stephanie and Ghee_Dragon welcome special guest Sam from Southpaw aka @LiberationistMA (Twitter), who points out filming techniques and Korean historical context in the drama that viewers might have missed.

The Grammys. An award presented by the Recording Academy to recognize "Outstanding Achievement in the music industry" of the United States. For K-pop fans who may believe their bias is an immaculate jesus, the award can act as a point for artistic merit or recognition. In a 2021 interview with the Korea Herald, Suga remarked that he hopes the group will win a Grammy before the end of their career. It can be argued that BTS has made music award shows relevant again following an ongoing trend of declining ratings and interest in music awards.
But with the recent misses for awarding BTS a Grammy - what signs does this signal for k-pop fans? What actually matters? How do you think we should interpret last night’s news?
This episode is a recording of a recent #kpopchat we held on Twitter Spaces.

The concept-masters of (G)I-DLE gave a "Tomboy" femme fatale look for their latest single. If this sounds like a mixed metaphor to you, you're not alone. In this episode we take a deep look at the song's concept and lyrics, and what it means in the context of an incoming anti-feminist presidential administration. Subject matter experts—John Lee, the blogger/columnist/Twitter commentariat known as the Korean Foreigner; and Hye Jin Lee, Clinical Assistant Professor of Communication at USC—provide additional color.
We also offer some recommended "hit replays" from the album. We additionally recommend reading a paper by Jieun Lee and Hyangsoon Yi which speaks to the recent configuration of "ssenunni" in hallyu/K-pop.
