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.

AKA the Cultural Appropriation Episode….well not quite. Why would we cover that for an entire episode when there is so much more to gather from the great Chicken Noodle Souping of ’19? The NYAN gang are joined by Stitch (aka @stitchomancery on Twitter) for a rollicking discussion encompassing the topics of race, fandom, K-hip hop, and what it means to appreciate without being appropriative. As usual, expect some detours into Jay Park, J.Lo and other great viral dance sensations (crank dat!). Finally, in honor of all long-haired emos everywhere – STAN JUNGKOOK!
