Not Your Average Netizens
The OGs of K-pop and Korean entertainment podcasts since 2014. This is a safe space for open and mature discussions about K-pop stuff we love, hate, or love to hate. No sugar coating here, but we hope you can relate to our views even if you disagree with some of them. Above all, we want to make Kpop fun and have fun while doing it! We are made up of netizens from all over the world and we gather weekly in our spare time. Sometimes we agree, sometimes we don’t, and we hope that you find yourself in each of our voices.

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.

Except that L and V are not the same letter - eh, close enough. Regardless it's all about CL encroaching American debut which started the mother-load of 2NE1 disbandment rumors. 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 :(
