00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,480
Speaker 2: off today, we have K pop News. Oh my god,

7
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 2: it has been so long since we had K pop news.

8
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 2: The past couple of episodes has been interviews with live guests.

9
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 2: We just recently got off an episode at the Gas

10
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 2: South Arena in Atlanta where we interviewed Hohan, one of

11
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 2: the performers of the day, and we did a guest

12
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 2: performance with Kevin Wu, also a previous guest on the

13
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 2: iHeartRadio podcast K Factor, which is this one.

14
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: Isn't that so cool?

15
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,080
Speaker 2: The amount of connections that we can make and and

16
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 2: everything just builds from this root that we build right

17
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 2: here with what we're doing. And we're going to talk

18
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 2: about all these little solo activities a little bit later.

19
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 2: But jumping into the podcast today, we have the latest

20
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 2: K pop news. And this is in no particular order,

21
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 2: but i've Liso was recently mistaken for Wang Young in

22
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 2: recent picks. This seems to be a similar recurring theme

23
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 2: happening in I've where everybody, including Liz Ray, is just

24
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 2: slowly starting to look like Wanyung, who is known to

25
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 2: be the visual of the group. And honestly, in my opinion,

26
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 2: I think that's a huge compliment. I would love to

27
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 2: look like my friends. Every single day I start blending

28
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 2: in with my friends, I take a little bit of

29
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 2: I take a little bit inspiration from their fits here.

30
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 2: I take a little bit inspiration of them here. I'm like, oh, like,

31
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 2: how'd you do your hair like that?

32
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?

33
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 2: And you want these go grips to be best friends.

34
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 2: And when they slowly start blending in together, that's how

35
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 2: you know they're getting closer and closer. I know that's

36
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 2: not the implications that these controversies are kind of coming

37
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 2: up as is more of a narrative on like plastic

38
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 2: surgery and all these things. But hey, at the end

39
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 2: of the day, they're friends. If they look more and

40
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 2: more similar, that's beautiful. That means they love each other. Heck, yeah,

41
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 2: all right. And Kat's Eye debutes the gap commercial with

42
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: the backing track of My Milkshake brings out a boys

43
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 2: a yard. Damn right, it's better than your Oh my gosh,

44
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: it is so good. This kind of Gap, this commercial

45
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 2: that they did for Gap as a response to the

46
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 2: American Eagle Sinney Sweeney thing is a beautiful use of

47
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 2: K pop concepts to do something that has been done

48
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 2: for years and years and years. I remember as a

49
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 2: kid watching these commercials, watching these movies with all these

50
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 2: beautiful dance lines and huge dance productions all to deliver

51
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 2: a message. My gosh, this is the kind of thing

52
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 2: that this is the kind of thing that inspires an

53
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 2: entire generation. Like I literally remember the pieces of media

54
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 2: that I consumed that left such an impact on me.

55
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 2: And we're not gonna see the impact of what Kassai

56
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 2: has just done for maybe five years, maybe ten years,

57
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 2: but then fifteen years later, there's gonna be a little

58
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 2: girl somewhere that's like, Oh, I started dancing because I

59
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 2: saw that Gap commercial that CATSI just did, So congratulations Katsi.

60
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 2: This is a huge thing, huge commercial, great messaging, beautiful jeans.

61
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 2: I love that they were also dancing in jeans like that.

62
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 2: That says so much about the jeans, Like you saw

63
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 2: her pop that split in Gap jeans. I'm gonna I'm

64
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 2: gonna walk to gap right now.

65
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: Wow.

66
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 2: Speaking on Katsai, Katsi debuted about a year ago, but

67
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 2: a new high global girl group named Gethen was already

68
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 2: announced to be in the works, set to debut next year.

69
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 2: This leaves a lot of cats eyes fans uneasy. They're like, oh, like,

70
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 2: we haven't been getting fed a lot by Katsai. I

71
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 2: bet this is why and all these things. But I

72
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 2: think it's be fine. Hip is a huge company, guys,

73
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 2: Hive is huge. Hibe could have a tenth of their

74
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 2: company running this group and that, and and it wouldn't

75
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 2: even phase them, Like like, we will be fine if

76
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 2: it's different management, if it's different all these things, don't

77
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 2: even worry about it. I think we'll be okay. Wrapping

78
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 2: up on Katsi, Katsai also recently claims that Laserafim is

79
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 2: like their sister group, kind of like always giving them advice,

80
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 2: mentorship and then just just just always being there to

81
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 2: kind of watch over them. And it makes a lot

82
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 2: of sense because I love kats I and I I love.

83
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: And the Serifim is so good. I love the music

84
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: that they do.

85
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 2: I recently got Casta to do like.

86
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: Like a DJ set for Puerto Rico.

87
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 2: So if you guys are in Puerto Rico, like I'll

88
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 2: be there so hosting an after party. And I'm be honest,

89
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 2: most most of my set is gonna be the Serafim there.

90
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 2: The way their music, high energy, all these things, it

91
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 2: gives that freshness, you know what I mean. However, on

92
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 2: the topic of the Seraphim, La seraphims chi One is

93
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 2: currently under fire for a controversial video of her kissing

94
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 2: her dog mouth open.

95
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: Letting the dog and make up all inside her.

96
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 2: Of her mouth for an extended periods of time. I'm

97
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 2: gonna be honest to me, here's non issue. But people

98
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 2: are mad. They're like, yo, are we kissing our dogs?

99
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 2: Like this's like really And in defense of this, videos

100
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 2: of BTS's b surfaces in defense of him doing the

101
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 2: same thing, and nobody made it an issue. So now

102
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 2: there's like, oh, double standards of BTS A B and

103
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 2: La seraphims chi One. What do we think about kissing

104
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 2: our dogs? What do we think? Do you kiss your dogs?

105
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be honest me, personally, I think there's a

106
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 2: non issue, but I also like, don't kiss my dogs.

107
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 2: But it's like it's it's like let people do what

108
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 2: they want. Man, Like the dog is happy, she's happy,

109
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 2: Like like, you know, you know what I mean. Is

110
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 2: it a little bit strange to us because we don't

111
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 2: understand it one percent? Like yeah, is it disturbing because

112
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 2: we don't understand it and we don't really see that

113
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 2: in our daily lives? Like yeah, but it's like, let

114
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 2: them do what they want. The dog is happy, she's happy,

115
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. And speaking of BTS, this

116
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 2: one is a little bit more of a sensitive topic.

117
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 2: There is someone on the internet. Her name is Sungden,

118
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 2: and she has posted a story of BTS Jim and

119
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 2: in an elevator greeting her. And she did this as

120
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 2: a defense to online bullying from fans because she has

121
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 2: been involved in dating rumors with BTS for quite a

122
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 2: while now, and the bullying started intensifying. Threats, all these

123
00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 2: things are getting sent out, and she crashed out and

124
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 2: and was like, you know what, here, look at this

125
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 2: and uploaded a video story of BTS Jim and greeting

126
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 2: her in an elevator, and people were like WHOA. A

127
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 2: lot of the information around this topic is widely speculative,

128
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 2: and that is the extent of solid information that we have.

129
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 2: We don't know whether it confirms that they're dating or

130
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 2: any of these things. A lot of the controversy right

131
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 2: now is that this is a violation of BTS Jim's

132
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 2: privacy because he didn't consent to this, and this is

133
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 2: something that could do a lot of damage to his

134
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 2: career and all these things, and like why would she

135
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 2: just post something so personal all the context leading up

136
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 2: to it. Is also a bit of a niche topic

137
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 2: because she was getting bullied, she's getting pushed. We don't

138
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 2: know where her mental health is at. At the end

139
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 2: of the day, people are pushing for jim In to

140
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 2: file a lawsuit. How they handle this situation or what

141
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 2: this implicates is up to you, guys. I am simply

142
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 2: here delivering the information. And do you think that he

143
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 2: should file a laws it? Do you? What do you

144
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 2: think this confirms? Da da da da da. That's up

145
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 2: to you, guys. And that is the latest news happening

146
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 2: with BTS Jimmin. And speaking of boy groups, stray Kids

147
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 2: has dropped a new album, WHOA There We Go. Stray

148
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 2: Kids just set a record for the biggest drop on

149
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 2: US daily charts with eight songs on the top one

150
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 2: fifty four tracks have fell out by day two, But

151
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 2: that is a huge accomplishment. Proves every single day that

152
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 2: K pop is growing and growing and growing, and years

153
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 2: and years ago, we would have never imagined for kpop

154
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 2: to be able to make such waves, to be able

155
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 2: to do such such such amazing things. With each and

156
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,880

Speaker 1: I love New York so much, and.

269
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 2: And you I grew up here, but you I gained

270
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 2: like a new found kind of love for the city.

271
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 2: Knowing that I've left for a while and I've seen

272
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 2: what the world has for me, and and at the

273
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 2: end of the day, this is home and I'm back,

274
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 2: and I've never felt more myself. I never felt more happy.

275
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 2: I've been able to meet wonderful new friends. As I

276
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 2: was saying when we were like discussing the whole, I've

277
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 2: Lisa with Liz and Ray looking more like Juan Young,

278
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 2: Like I'm just taking in the energies of my friends.

279
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 2: And that's such like a beautiful thing for me. And

280
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 2: and dance has a spark and love again for me,

281
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 2: like ever since I left, and I had like a

282
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 2: little brief like a training like intense passion passion training

283
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 2: area where I was going to like workshops and all

284
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 2: these things in Korea, but it was missing that little

285
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 2: kind of flavor for me, and I didn't know what

286
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 2: it was, and I slowly started falling out of love

287
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 2: with dance and I started losing sight of my art

288
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 2: and all these things. But being back in New York,

289
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 2: my gosh, today I took a class on forty seconds

290
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 2: straight and it feels like all the world's most amazing

291
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 2: dancers were in this room and it was such a

292
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 2: lack of ego because there wasn't a single camera. There

293
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 2: wasn't like everyone was dancing their heart out, but no one,

294
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 2: not a single person recorded themselves and no one even

295
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 2: now that I think about it, like there wasn't even

296
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 2: like a guy that like kick comes in at like

297
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 2: the last ten minutes of the class, so like with

298
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 2: like a you know, like a big camera, so everyone

299
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 2: gets their little like Instagram moment, Yo, I don't. I

300
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 2: think the most followers in that room was probably someone

301
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 2: with like six thousand and these are the most disciplined

302
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 2: professional dancers I've ever seen in my life. And it's

303
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 2: is this is this is this new York feeling of

304
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 2: being in the moment. And I always grew up thinking

305
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 2: that New York was like, oh like behind Los Angeles

306
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 2: and the dance scene, oh like behind this and like

307
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 2: the creative arts, and I was like, oh like like

308
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, like, the only way I can

309
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 2: pursue this is if I do K pop. Where if

310
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 2: I move to LA and do all these things. I

311
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 2: what I was missing as a kid was the soul,

312
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 2: was the the the the spirit of the art and

313
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 2: really being present in the art.

314
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 1: And I hope that I can communicate these things, communicate.

315
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 2: These growths to you guys as I continue on with

316
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 2: my future projects, and and and and and this this

317
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 2: feeling is like it's just back in my heart and

318
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 2: is what made me fall in love with the arts

319
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 2: in the first place, And and is like nowadays also

320
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:01,199
Speaker 2: K pop is is you're seeing more and more of

321
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 2: that grit. I think we're getting closer and closer, like

322
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 2: their K pop is always going to be commercialized, It's

323
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 2: always going to be commercialized as the spirit of K

324
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 2: pop two. But with groups like Cortis, with groups that

325
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 2: like Cats Eye, with groups with these global groups that

326
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 2: are bringing in these inspirations directly into their art and

327
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 2: really living and growing up around that and then making

328
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 2: that their priority. I see K pop moving in this

329
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 2: direction as well, and one day I hope that I

330
