Previous Episode: The Pop Culture Potluck

Next Episode: Roommate Horror Stories

In today's episode, Alyson helps Loren understand the artistic and addicting world of K-Pop! In a general overview that is equal parts interesting and goofy, Alyson explains how K-Pop has gotten to be so big, as well as discussing the business behind the genre's success. Then, your hosts will look at K-Pop culture through one of the biggest groups in the world (BTS!) Which member of BTS is Loren/Alyson most like? How is liking K-Pop probably going to help Alyson get a job (this is not a joke, folks!)? Plus, find out how Alyson discovered some people she knows in a viral meme - all of that and more on today's episode!

*PS: Alyson wanted to clarify that BTS debuted in 2013, but they broke through in the United States in 2017* :)
