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.Timestamps: What are we listening to 34 sComebacks/Debuts. 8:56-ONEUS - Same Scent. 10:44-Ten -Birthday 14:24-EXID -Fire 23:36-Jin -The astronaut 28:18-Seulgi - 28 Reasons 40:37-OnlyOneOf - because. 46:10V Live to stop services at the end of the year 55:40Oneus’ Ravn leaves group 1:00:52Loona’s Chuu to set up her own agency. 1:05:29Cube announces LIGHTSUM will ‘reorganize’, 2 members seemingly booted from group 1:15:18Omega X 1:18:49Itaewon tragedy 1:37:46Blackpink’s in our areas looking janky 1:41:58FEATURED ARTIST: TEMPEST 1:47:52

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!Timestamps:Now Playing 3:20Comebacks/Debuts 10:34Is caring about the artist more than the music a problem in Kpop? 20:46Shinhwa continues to be a mess 37:51Victon’s Hoechan leaves group due to drunk driving 39:48ATEEZ keeps being plagiarized 42:19Crush thinks Black skin is contagious 56:05NYAN Featured Deep Dive: DKZ 1:21:36Closing/Shoutouts. 1:43:29

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?)!

Hey everyone, here's the second and last of our backlogged episodes, recorded in the last month of July. We discuss the logic of having idols speaking at the UN, how a music industry professional really views K-pop, and spotlight some awesome women of K-pop.

Wassup, everyone, we're back! Unfortunately, whenever you come back from a break, hiatus, what-have-you, it's common to be a bit behind with what's trending. So this ep's a grab bag of K-pop news and music from the last couple of months, recorded the week of June 6th! Don't worry, we'll be back on our regular biweekly schedule for the next episode!
