Your ticket from Miami to Seoul!
✈️
Hi! Hola! Annyeonghaseyo! We are Kathy & Laura, and we’re big fans of everything K: K-Pop, K-HipHop & R&B, K-Dramas, Webtoons, K-Food, K-Skincare, and the ins and outs of South Korean culture that have made all of these things possible. We started this podcast to share our journey as adult Latin women who are based in Miami and can't get enough of South Korean content and entertainment. We share the news, spill the tea, and do the research so you don't have to. We're here to become your stan besties and empower you to live your best K-Fan life!

BLACKPINK: Non-Blinks React to Contracts, Scandals, Solo Companies, and YG Entertainment Management
Today, we will finally be covering one of K-Pop’s most popular girl groups, Blackpink. We waited to talk about Blackpink because we wanted to know where they were going to land once contract negotiations ended with YG Entertainment. So now that we know what's going on with 3 out of the 4 members, we thought it'd be a great time to talk about them.

DPR Update, Coming To You Live (Giggles, DPR Ian, REM, DPR Artic, and More)
If you're aware of the K-Hip Hop and K-R&B scene, then you know DPR Live, currently performing under his government name, Hong Dabin. And if you follow the DPR members, you know the week of January 21 was CRAZY.
So, today we will be giving an update on the Dream Perfect Regime collective. If you're new, we released an episode on DPR back in September of 2022 where we gave an intro on who they are and what they do. And A LOT has happened since then – so much so that we felt that an update was absolutely necessary.
As always, please forgive any mispronunciations!

Doona! MIA2K Review ft. Daebak K-Rambles Podcast
When we saw the promotions for one of Netflix's new K-Dramas, Doona!, we just knew we had to call our friend Jess from Daebak K-Rambles Podcast to discuss it, especially as a follow up to our joint episode on Dream High!
This episode is not a typical review of the K-drama as that's not what we do here, but we DO have some key angles we wanted to touch on:
Bae Suzy's growth (or lack thereof) as an actress in the 13 years since Dream High came out
The way Doona! touched on idol struggles (or didn't...)
The fanfic feel of it all
The Webtoon POV and the (questionable?) choices made by the author both for the webtoon and the screenplay
We had a blast going IN on the show with our friend Jess, and we're so thankful to her for joining us on this episode!
Previous MIA2K X Daebak crossovers you can enjoy:

Thanks to Jess again for coming on, and remember to follow her!
