For the 12th episode of the KPop Nerd Podcast (brought to you by Music Mind), we continue with the newly adopted format of thematic discussions. This week, the topic is live events! KCon! Live KPop events have been instrumental in bringing KPop to fans who may not be able to travel to Korea to see their favorite artists in person. The crew talked about each of our experiences and thoughts on events like KCon and what it means for KPop as a whole. We touched on a few artists who have graced the stages at these types of events like I.O.I, TWICE, DAY6, CL, and Jun. K, as well as chatted about the much anticipated new girl group from YG, BLACKPINK!

For the 11th episode of the KPop Nerd Podcast (brought to you by Music Mind - www.themusicmind.com), we've changed formats! Given all the nice feedback we've received, we're focusing more on having thematic discussions, and injecting more conversations and opinions into the cast rather than spending the bulk of our time reporting on statistics or news. This week, the topic of the day is girl groups! Girls Generation, Wonder Girls, 2NE1 all feature prominently in our discussion. We somehow also manage to touch on Korean cultural expectations, the power of data in modern business strategy, and our respect for Pitbull. What? You read that correctly. Listen to the podcast for these fun insights and more!
