Join us for a lively episode of Not Your Average Netizens where hosts Jemin, Nat, and Ashe bring you the latest in K-pop and beyond! We kick things off with a spirited discussion on what we've been listening to lately, from 80s pop hits to the newest K-pop releases. Nat shares her thoughts on Normani's new album, Dopamine, and dives into a nostalgic love for Toni Braxton.
The team also touches on the lighter side of K-pop variety shows and shares some funny and slightly controversial moments. Plus, we delve into the serious side of the industry with a discussion on the recent struggles faced by new artists like Riku from NCT Wish. And as always, we end with our shoutouts - celebrating achievements from K-pop artists to Olympic athletes, and even airing some frustrations about the weather.
Don't miss out on this fun, insightful, and slightly less lengthy episode! Subscribe and share with your friends to help spread the K-pop love. 🎶✨
