Beware, this episode may induce coffee cravings! On this episode we review the lo-fi café soundtrack, Coffee. Did you know this isn't an original BTS song? We dive into the origins of the track, get carried away talking all about coffee as a beverage  and try not to argue too much about coffee vs tea (obviously coffee is better).

If you're going to come for BTS, at least make it factual! On December 2nd 2023 the New York Times released an episode of 'Popcast' called Jung Kook, BTS and English Language K-Pop. What followed was 44 minutes of bad journalism, misinformation, anti rhetoric, racism and xenophobia. So here is 50 minutes of us tearing it apart :) Send us an email [email protected] Join our Patreon Follow us on Instagram Support the show

We couldn't stay quiet any longer! After witnessing a gross display of prudishness within the fandom, we had to say something. This is probably our spiciest episode to date but we were all very tired of seeing some sections of the fandom infantilise Jungkook, make misogynistic comments about Latto and spout their repressed nonsense online. Plus our first reactions to the incredible song. Sexually liberated Jungkook is a vibe!! STREAM SEVEN!!! Support the show

Taking on a fandom cult favourite, this episode we review Spine Breaker! As with so many BTS songs, there is more to this track than first appears. We take a deeper look at the issues they sing about and the chokehold North Face jackets have on both Korean and Australian society. Plus we have some fun reviewing the comical self filmed 'music video' that BTS created.

In 2017 BTS and Bighit created a completely fictional 15th century fairytale about a rare flower (also fictional) and Army have been confused ever since!

The day us come for us tackle one of the most iconic BTS songs, Baepsae aka Silver Spoon. We try very hard to use our big brains to focus more on the lyrics and meaning and not so much on the hip thrusts. But we are only human!!! This conversation does cover the evolution of the Baepsae hip thrust but it also delves into politics and societal issues like the housing crisis, generational divides and privilege.
