How Did We Get Here? Into the K-Pop Rabbit Hole, We Go...
di Just A Girl And Her Light Stick
Did we really just go to our first K-pop concert? In this episode, we are excited to share our experiences from attending the BTS ARIRANG Tour in Baltimore. (Spoiler alert: we had a time.) Also, at the time of this recording in August, we discussed news about the surprising removal of Xdinary Heroes leader and BTS members attending the Chris Brown and USHER concert. As a result, we also ask ourselves the question: What does accountability look like between K-Pop idols and their fans? K-Pop Jams of the Week "This & That" by Stray Kids "X Room" and “Good Enough” by Xdinary Heroes (get into your emo bag) “Hip Hop Phile by BTS SUBSCRIBE to our email list for notifications of new episodes and extra goodies! *** Just A Girl And Her Light Stick is a podcast that features three Black millennials wandering down the K-Pop rabbit hole, all while asking the question, “how did we get here?” Join hosts, Bianca, Erin, and Khayla, as they dive deep into the world of their favorite K-Pop artists, navigate interesting aspects of fandom culture, and hot takes on K-Pop in the news.
In our first episode, we ask each other the question — "how did your journey into K-Pop begin?" We name artists that first caught our attention such as Big Bang, 2pm, Rain, BTS, and Epik High. We also draw inspiration from actress Chase Infiniti’s unapologetic Black joy as she successfully lives out her K-Pop fangirl dreams by becoming the leading lady in ATEEZ’S ‘Bad’ music video. Also, here are a few K-Pop jams we recommend to folks who are new to the genre: "Sweet Dreams” by j-hope ft. Miguel; "MONA LISA" by j-hope; anything by DEAN, and Anderson .Paak’s K-POPS!
