    Episode 12: To Ship or Not To Ship?

    Breaking from their usual emphasis on BTS’s career, this episode features hosts Natalie and Yady tackling the controversial topic of romantic shipping within the fandom. By examining platonic pairings and exploring the members’ unique personality traits, the talk considers how working off the wide range of footage we get of BTS can lead to a rich world of fan-made content. With the many positive effects of celebrating love and friendship, however, can a line still be crossed? If so, is the KPOP industry to blame?

This is great and I recommend to new armys

I’ve given people links to all the episodes that I can see. I only see episodes 11-13 on here so idk if there’s more. They’re great tho. They’re not uncomfortable on recording and they go in depth about what they’re talking about. I love them a lot

Best BTS podcast

I’d recommend this to anyone interested in understanding hallyu or the global pop cultural phenomenon that BTS has become.

Now there is a lot of English language fan content focused specifically on BTS but your podcast is still the best. I don’t know if you’d ever consider doing more episodes but I’d really enjoy your current analysis. If your doing something more important than analyzing a Kpop band I totally understand though. Thanks for the content you’ve already made.

Please PLEASE come back

I miss the dissertations you guys would give on MV and lyrics. There is no one else doing it like you guys did. I felt like I was considering sociology, psychology and culture thru these convos😭. Come back please!
