I like to think that we here at NYAN are a talented bunch. Also, I'd say our ability to stretch a 30 min conversation into 2 hours is unparalleled. This past week was a little light on news, but we took the opportunity to discuss other topics at length, including Vlive services ending, Blackpink blasted for tour performances, and the devastation in Itaewon. We here at NYAN send out our most heartfelt condolences to all affected by the tragedy.

Ain’t you tired K-pop? It's another delightful episode in which we have a lengthy discussion about race and Korean pop music. However, if you need a break from the politics, Nat, Jay, Ashe, and Jemin would like to offer you some lighter fare: has stanning K-pop become more important than the music itself, and are ATEEZ's choreography stealing controversies really a big conspiracy to raise their profile?
NYAN is still going through a growth period, so we thank you for staying with us through our...irregular posting schedule. That said, look out for our next episode in two weeks!

Dear listeners, We bow before you in search of your forgiveness. In the face of real-life trials and tribulations, our recent output has been sporadic. NYAN is currently undergoing some changes behind the scenes, and honestly, implementing the upgrades has been challenging. But we also apologize for our inconsistency.
We promise that it will all be worth it soon. And we are incredibly grateful to those of you who continue to support this podcast; we wouldn't be here without you. So keep a lookout for a lot of brand new content in the next month!
In the meantime, check out our latest episode, a bit dated now but entertaining all the same. There's Kim Garam's unbothered clap back, Jay Park apologists, and NewJeans (or maybe not NewJeans?)!

It's a brief (for us) recording of this episode, as there just isn't much going on in K-pop at the moment. But is that a good, or bad thing? Of course, there is still some tomfoolery about, as I.M. gets slammed for wearing a sacred religious prayer, Jamie incomprehensively calls herself a Black queen, and CL becomes the unofficial mascot of an American fast food chain.

Since Ashe has a case of the (non-COVID) sniffles, Jemin and Nat take over hosting duties for this episode, which, maybe unexpectedly, harbors quite a bit of Blackpink content - what with The Album, the documentary, the fan scuffle with Cardi B, and the highly overrated nurse outfit. But no worries for non-Blinks, there's plenty of K-pop news left to cover what with Jay Park reading thirst tweets, SuperM becoming a legit part of the Marvel Universe, and ELFs determined to keep the remaining members of Super Junior single well into their 50's. It's a jam-packed episode, so make sure to listen and send us some feedback if you like what you hear!

In the one-parter that should be a two-parter, Ashe, Nat and Jemin dive into the most notable K-pop stories of the past week, wherein problematic idols get called out, Everglow causes a national incident, and Pledis demonstrates a fundamental unawareness of copyright law.

On this episode of Not Your Average Netizens, we examine why K-pop's "social justice savior" narrative has been created at the exclusion of the Black fans that are supposed to be helped. We also take on Won Nation, idol singing skills and we delve into the extremely scientific digression of whether or not we indeed saw Junhoe of Ikon's butt on camera. Plus - stan ChloexHalle.

It's back to K-pop business for another week, as we talk about drunk driving idols, Amber and Twitter trolls, BTS donate their pocket change to Black Lives Matter, and fancams. So many fancams.

In this episode of Not Your Average Netizens, we tackle a topic we normally do not shy away from: racism. Specifically, the value of Black lives in the K-pop sphere and society as a whole. We at NYAN consider ourselves a Black podcast, and thus, it was imperative that we address the issues that have recently plagued our country. We found it important to not only discuss racism and prejudice permeate the K-pop industry but how it affects us as well. We hope that this episode is able to provide you with something: a sense of release, a desire to learn, motivation to support Black Lives Matter, or hope. We're all in this together, and sometimes if we just listen to one another we'll realize we are more alike then different. Stay safe and keep up the good fight.

On this episode we tried not to let BTS dominate the podcast…and failed. Of course, about 70% of the conversation is about racial dynamics in K-pop, so we can probably be forgiven. We also wax poetic about the atrociousness of the term “reggae hair,” and just how much better will Big Bang sound without Seungri? Also, get ready to put your cringe hats on, because Mnet has a hip-hop survival show in the works. Leave us a comment and let us know what you think about the show.

As expected, it's time for a special episode devoted to Chen from EXO's upcoming baby and nuptials. Nat and Jemin break down what this means for K-pop, if anything, and somehow tie idol fan culture to life, the universe and everything.
We're back with the first episode of the new year, and don't worry, we've still got plenty to say! K-pop is giving us more than enough to look forward to in 2020, with new relationships, scandals and proof that Big Bang isn't dead yet! We've also got some special things in the pipeline for the podcast, so keep your eyes peeled!

Music: “Pushing Rewind,” by BLAEKER feat. Eyre
Aka, "The One Where Ashe Goes to Sleep." So, this week is mostly a Nat and Jemin joint, but never fear, they have plenty to talk about. GDragon's military discharge, the meaning behind Twice's latest album, with some SuperM thrown in for good measure (get used to it). As always, thank you to our listeners, and share and recommend if you dig it. Timestamps are below!

We're still jopping to Super M's debut magnum opus, appropriately titled "SuperM (genius!)." Join Not Your Average Netizen podcasters Jemin and Nat as they delve into what is the essential K-pop mini album of a lifetime, and take on the impossible task of ranking this masterful collection of K-pop ear candy. They also review the group's masterful showcase as well as try in vain to predict SM's next calculated move. So, give another listen to the album that opened our pores and absolved us of all our sins. Won't you let Super M into your life?

Welcome to Not Your Average Netizens' first K-pop Fandom Forum, special episodes devoted to discussing topical issues related to K-pop in all its intricacies. And we decided, why not start off our first episode with one of our fave topics - fanfiction! Yes, fanfiction has pushed its way out of the dark corners of fandom to become widely recognized as a powerful creative force in fan communities. K-pop fanfics, in particular, have grown more numerous; but is that healthy for the fandom? Is writing about famous idols an invasion of their privacy or an acceptable creative outlet for their admirers? We discuss these issues, as well as reveal what our favorite fanfictions are and you'll find out if any of the NYAN podcasters is writing Bangtan novels on the low. Join us for another fun debate, and tell us in the comments if you read K-pop, what kind, and where!

It’s the darkest K-pop timeline as we discuss the complete dissolution of the Greek tragedy that is YG Entertainment on this episode of Not Your Average Netizens. It’s a trash fire of such immense magnitude that we needed TWO episodes to talk about it! Is B.I. a misunderstood genius and will YG get away with all his shady activity (probably)? In part two, we continue the lighthearted discourse as we delve into issues of K-pop and colorism (that will likely be covered again). Is being a fan worth it when you have to constantly check to see if idols are “problematic” and have to rationalize the prejudiced that continues to occur? We discuss. Also on the docket: idols and LGBTQ rights, flat earther idols, K-fans vs. I-fans, the treatment of girl groups and Big Hit… just Big Hit. Pull up a chair, enjoy your car ride, or distract yourself from the monotony of work with some good K-pop conversation.

Not Your Average Netizens is back and it feels so good!

Intro/Outro: GOT7 - ECLIPSE (BAMBEAST REMIX)
Fixed!
Hello, NYANers and NYANettes (ignore me it’s the lack of sleep talking)! Another week means another podcast as the NYAN crew come together once again to pontificate for another thought-provoking K-pop discussion! This week we wade into some interesting waters, as we consider Micky Yoochun’s place in the K-pop universe, and YG’s mounting PR troubles with a small side stroke into Kpop astrology just because. Come on in, the water’s fine.
We had fun this episode.

Intro and Outro: BLACKPINK - Kill This Love (CBznar Remix)
We’re back to our regularly(?) scheduled programming!. And just in time for the 2019 K-pop invasion of America, as western music execs try their damndest to make BTS and Blackpink happen in the USA. Can these artists truly advance in the industry, or will they just be a fad, used for clicks and likes until the next One Direction comes along? We have an in-depth discussion and try to get to the core of the issue.
Also, catch our live Blackpink Coachella commentary on Youtube! : http://bit.ly/2IQVhi5

Intro/Outro Music: TWICE (트와이스) - FANCY [Remix] by Bass Dropper
This ep is a blast to the fairly recent past as Ashe leader-nim has been overwhelmed with personal obligations as of late, and while we enjoy working on NYAN, it’s also a pretty small operation - so we’ve had all-hands-on-deck to get our backlog out to you and get the podcast train back on schedule! We appreciate everyone who continues to listen and support our program as we soldier on, and we are bringing you some special projects and creative ventures to show our appreciation!
Definitely check out the draft for our (well it’s Jemin’s baby) Kpop Fantasy Tournament – it’s like fantasy football, except with the twisted fandom politics we all know and love. More info about the tournament will be forthcoming.
WARNING: Due to the time period in which this was recorded (namely before the crap hit the fan), positive feelings about Seungri are briefly expressed. Again, this was done BEFORE Burning Seungri.

Music: ATEEZ - Say My Name D3VOK Remix
It seems like everyone else has chimed in on the Burning Sun controversy, so guess we'll put our hat in the ring. On this episode of Not Your Average Netiznes, we discuss what this scandal means for the future of Seungri, Big Bang, YG and K-pop itself.
There were some issues with audio this episode towards the beginning. We apologize, and if it's too much of a nuisance, fast forward about 10 minutes or so.

So you thought we'd stay gone for a minute? Nah son, we're back, and still have way too much to say. Check out the timestamps to find out what was on our mind this week.
We also would like to present a challenge to EXO-Ls and Armys everywhere. In the interest of academia and good old-fashioned competition we'd like to know: who can out-sell the other in America? If EXO's new material can chart within the top ten of the Billboard 200 we'll do a special deep dive episode (and possibly a giveaway). If they don't, well..maybe BTS will get one. So buy up those albums and subscribe and leave us comments as to what you would like us to talk about. After all, we can't do a show without topics! Now, back to your regularly scheduled time stamps:
3:10 Somi will reportedly not sign with new agency for now, will let dad manage her instead. What is the truth?
11:10 E’Dawn addresses fans in post on Pentagon fan cafe, says he just wanted to be honest.Is this mess the fan's fault or the company’s fault? What triggers such a toxic fan culture? was E'dawn wasting his time and sacrificing his career by revealing his relationship?
27:54 Is it a TWICE world and we’re just living in it? What’s it gonna take to blow up that wall? 29:00 We talk about Blackpink again. Can they beneit from their current benefiting from their popularity or did YG sit on his ass for too long? 39:40 Park Bom clarifies that it was not her who destroyed 2NE1, but ‘someone else’/Park Bom knows where the bodies are buried 41:00 Dua Lipa revealed today that the complete edition of her self-titled debut album will feature a collaboration with BLACKPINK that’s titled “Kiss And Make Up“. Is this really something to be excited about? 50:33 There’s a special place in Kpop hell for Yang Hyung Suk and other messy CEOs 55:15 We get back on track…kinda/all the Kpop collabs we can think of 59:20 Weird group names, and light sticks you need a license to carry 1:02:15 BoA and f(x) don’t get no respect 1:15:35 Are second gen groups sticking around longer than expected? 1:19:30 Are we really going to talk about EXP? Yeah, we sure are. 1:24:59 BAP’s Himchan investigated for indecent assault of woman, TSE makes statement 1:32:15 Taeyeon enjoys listening to BTS’s “IDOL”, EXO stans (and Taeyeon antis) get mad online/EXO-Ls stay crazy 1:43:40 Armys and EXO-Ls, NYAN has a challenge for YOU.
Music:NCT DREAM - WE GO UP (REMIX by KPOPBEATS) @ Kpop Beats on Youtube
This past week BTS came back and stomped over everyone's faves. That's it, really. Nah, we actually had a lot to talk about this week, which resulted in another long-ass podcast, so we also present to you timestamps for your convenience. Also of note: because of technical difficulties there is a little feedback present in certain spots. It's not extremely distracting, but that's up to you to decide. Timestamps: 58:00- G-Idle 8:25:00 Loona/BTS 48:08:00 BTS 1:16:36 Somi Leaves JYP 1:34:07 Kpop hits American cinemas 1:50:12 Kai for Fenty? 2:08:08 Red Velvet has a “behavior problem?"
An outtake from our latest podcast that was already getting too damn long. We talk about Red Velvet: the good, the bad, And WHY CAN'T THEY BE VELVET ALL THE TIME, DAMMIT?
Hey NYAN fans! Just because we love you so much we've got timestamps for this episode too! No guarantees that it's completely accurate,we got off topic a bit at the end,

Music: GOT7 ''Never Ever'' (BAMBEAST & Ｓｏｕｌｓ Remix) BAMBEAST MUSIC@Youtube
It's a stacked pod, as our 7-person panel discusses the latest Kpop news and no one holds back! Topics include B1A4's contract renewal, Amber and Tiffany's push for America, Blackpink's continued success and Mino's Instagram saga. Plus, two crazy Got7 stans give a review of the American tour!
Music: Winner - REALLY REALLY [ LGX REMIX ] by LGXstudio @Youtube
It's time for me to beg on my knees for forgiveness for the lateness of this episode. Please accept this extra-sized episode as my apology! In this episode,we take a deep dive into what makes Blackpink tick. We also discuss G-Dragon's creepy stalker, and send Tiffany a few words to the wise.
Music: BLACKPINK - AS IF IT'S YOUR LAST Trap Mashup i am souls@Youtube
And we're not talking about Han. We're back, poppin' bottles for Yubin's debut and pouring one out for After School. Join us as we discuss whether we should curb our expectations for Blackpink's new mini. Wanna One overstimates America and which NCT member has solo potential? Music: G)I-DLE - LATATA (AZWZ Remix)
It's a very different episode of Not Your Average Netizens, with the candid diva herself, Youtuber THE BLACK NOONA! She joins us as we talk a LOT about BTS. Seriously, it's a lot guys. We also have quite a bit to say about their fans. There's also La Reina Yubin, Basement Blackpink and Creepy Uncle YG, idols behaving badly, and we pour one out for FIESTAR. Oh and somehow R.Kelly slithers in there too. It's gonna be live y'all. Remember to rate and review, and keep your eyes peeled, because we might be giving you an extra incentive soon :).
It's another episode of Not Your Average Netizens, we aren't squeeing over boy bands for once, and thus progress is made. We are impressed with rookie idols G(IDLE) bitch-slapping foes and taking names. We also horribly mangle their names. Park Bom makes a much-appreciated appearance, and JYP just can't catch a break, as we know accusations of being a cult-loving weirdo can become a bit inconvenient for your career (hi Mr. Cruise). Remember, if you enjoyed listening to this episode rate and review us on Itunes and we will love you with finger-hearts forever. And maybe give you something for free. You never know.

On this episode of Not Your Average Netizens, we ponder the fate of Blackpink, discover what happens when Irene rejects the red pill, and find out things about Kang Daniel we never really wanted to know. Plus, it's an NCT bonanza as the boys go disturbingly soft and fluffy with "Touch" and Ten and Taeyong go disturbingly sexy with "Baby Don't Stop." I mean, they're called muscle shirts for a reason, Taeyong. Music courtesy of MWN on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m74EXxVldFA
K-pop discussion from older fans, in all manner of ridiculousness and irreverence.

Into the New World Translation:
I want to tell you, even though the sad times have already past Close your eyes and feel, how you affect my mind, how you attract my gaze.
Don't wait for a miracle, there's a rough road in front of us with obstacles and future that can't be known, yet I won't change, I can't give up.
Keep your love unchanging for my wounded heart Looking in your eyes, no words are needed, time has stopped.
I love you, just like this. The longed end of wandering. I leave behind this world's unending sadness. Walking the many and unknowable paths, I follow a dim light. It's something we'll do together to the end, into the new world.

This week, nearly all of NYAN meets to celebrate the podcast's baby in GOT7. We also fanboy/girl over Crayon pop, Murdy expresses his love for Eunji even with the less well loved A-Pink comeback, and we keep our promise about keeping an eye out for Dal-shabet with actual Dal-shabet fans in Niko and Kiara.
This week we talk comebacks and debuts, along with which idols lesbians love, and the fact that true love is dead!
After a bit of a hiatus (Where I promise we recorded some stuff) We return with Tim aka Murdy's terrible first time ever editing the podcast.
Murdy is joined by the terrific Juliette and of course the loud dog (sorry about that.) We talk recent comebacks and debuts as well as some anticipated comebacks, before we get into the trash that needs to be taken out. News was a little slow, so the focus was on a member of Super Junior showing his ass again and of course Iron and Kidoh's mess of a rape song.

Ashe, Tim and Janelle, dive into the enigma that Tim has dubbed "2nepink." We critique their debut MV's and discuss what that their coming out means for the K-pop scene. Will they surpass their seniors in success? Or will YG bungle any logical promotional efforts (again)? Why is Lisa so awesome? Plus, a special announcement from Ashe.
On this, our 12764..8th show of Not Your Average Netizens, we are slayed by our girl group faves!
Sistar gives us the summer anthem we all deserve, and Wonder Girls are down with the Rastafari.
why? Now that Taeyeon is a Superstar Solo Artist, "Why" is she still in SNSD, and how long before she dips out?
Seriously what the hell is a Gugudan and how do we get/become one? Apparently involves shiny tacky barbie dresses

BLACKPINK VS. TWICE WARS YES GIVE THEM TO ME
Hey, it's 2016 and K-pop will be OK guys. We promise.
Another day, another episode posted. How long will we keep this up? Only we know. Join us on Not Your Average Netizens for another discussion about the most riveting topics in K-pop. Including:
How do we listen to KPOP? Or how do Kpop freaks pass themselves off ass normal in the real world? Exid - music video innuendo- A sexy EXID MVdoes sexual things like allude to sex and people are angry. Ukiss knk windy day fiestar - we give our opinions of these comebacks and they are Important. Solo debut of Luna of f(X)- Produce 101 S.I.S.T.A.R Comeback.
Hello and thank you for joining us for another episode of Not Your Average Netizens! First a great big bear hug welcome to new participants Alice and Juliette! This recording, we attempt to tackle the following issues:
AOA's 'Good Luck' is a bop but are their influx of scandals wearing out their welcome with the public?
Ex-SNSD member Jessica makes her debut as the perfect Disney star! We mean this is in a completely good way. Meanwhile, SM cock-blocks.
YG's new girl group not named 2NE1 coming soon to you in Never! Seriously YG, what is going on? Are you drunk on money and power or just drunk. P.S., Tim thinks you're a psycho.
We are the Inner Circle- in other words, Winner's not that bad.
Kangin screws up again, and even the ELFs don't want him.
U-KISS IS FOREVER! (whether you like it or not)
Intro:[MASHUP] AOA - Good Luck (SECRET - Madonna Remix.)by 김동우@Youtube
We are back! Kinda. Since Ashe's laptop has decided its one priority in life is to make hers miserable, there was no weekly show last week. But one topic got us so fired up that we couldn't wait until the next full show to talk about it - the thing needed its own show. Some fans think there's an epidemic spreading through K-pop (contract renewals) and it's finally caught up to JYPE. We talk about the sad parting of ways for Miss A's fans and why/what we think happened. What are the parallels with the Minzy/YG situation? But we also talk about how freakin' awesome Jia is and how she will end up successful in whatever she chooses to do!
Intro: Miss A - Only You 다른 여자 말고 너 Acoustic Cover by TheRealDavidKim@Youtube
Opening song: [MASHUP] 트와이스 (TWICE) - CHEER UP (Apink / LUV Remix.)by 김동우@Youtube
Another episode, another attempt to not bore you listeners silly! This week we welcome back into our fold our dear Kamilia Kiara, back from fighting a bout of the Zika virus (not really, but you were sick for a while, chickie).
We discuss whether BTS is now better at being Big Bang than Big Bang themselves (according to Daily Dot). Titans collide with simultaneous single releases from SNSD member and ex-member Tifanny and Jessica! It's a fight to the fandom death (well mostly a fight to get Tiffany's song outta my head). We wonder what the hell I.O.I has got going, poor Neil from Teen Top and of course the new power rookies: TWICE! And all in a manageable amount of time. Aren't you proud of us? Listen rate and review sha sha SHA ❤
EDIT: Oh wow, sorry! Song is [MASHUP] NCT U - 일곱 번째 감각 (The 7th Sense) (2NE1 / Baby I Miss You Remix.) by 김동우 on Youtube. Link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sS9ngOIorp8
We're back muthaf#ck@as! We apologize profusely to our numerous fans who have been refreshing week-by-week for a new episode. We're sorry baby, and we promise never to make you feel like that again.
Yeah, but we're glad to be back. And with a slightly different format, and an hour long podcast! Aren't you proud of us? Of course that doesn't mean we're removing the old parts of our podcast completely. The extraneous parts will likely become their own baby podcasts! So...the rundown: NYANS: Ashe, Janelle, Tim News, views and gossip: Amber's solo effort 'Borders'- it's not a lyrical powerhouse, but whatever, I still sing it to myself in the mirror. Hyunseung - A victim of Cube's hot mess of a management system and imminent demise - or a spoiled brat wasting his talent? Either way fans are batshit.
Main topic: What else? 2NE1 -> 3NE1. Or um, well let's just say Minzy peaced out. The mess is too widespread and all-encompassing to review here. Fans are still batshit.
Shoutout to fellow podcasts Jinjja Cha and Kpopnerd for doing the damn thing and being awesome to us!
We miss you O Purple Prince.

Before the pitchforks come, I do want to remind folks we are a very small outfit here: Ashe spends her precious few moments between work and school editing from the crawlspace in her house.

On this episode of NYAN we finally bid adieu to 2014 and all its scandals, safety shorts and missing Soshis. Because we are clearly the most qualified to do so, we count down what we consider the best and worst of K-pop in a year that brought along some pleasant surprises as well as shocking disappointments. Be sure to stick around for a nice mushy love letter just for YOU, the listener, towards the end of the show. 2015 fighting! Timestamps Below:

But most importantly - will Ashe remember to edit her bathroom break out of this episode? Make sure you listen to find out.
Don't worry timestamps are a-comin'....
It's Not Your Average Netizens' 18th episode! Doesn't it seem like just yesterday that we had our show, talking about things our listeners already witnessed? Well get ready for more speculation (mature) fangirling and the answer to these burning questions: Can Mamamoo possibly outdo their awesome debut? Can Lovelyz make it through what is possibly the most scandal-filled one for a girl group? And will we cap off 2014 with a MAMAs that will cause the K-pop fandom to mercifully collapse in on itself into a black hole? Only time will tell. Timestamps below.

Will CL become the Korean Iggy Azalea and which concept will we see -"Baddest Female" or "MTBD?" Also an epic rant about Epik High.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Well, worst if you are a K-pop fan. Certainly appears that way for SM. Probably better if you are a member of a second-tier girl group trying to make it better. We discuss the possible shifts in idol group popularity, Ailee's solo success and comebacks from Red Velvet and Akdong Musician....when You Know Who suddenly decides to leave You Know What. The mole strikes again! Sorry no timestamps this week :(
