Just A Girl And Her Light Stick: Black Millennials Talk K-Pop

BTS ARIRANG World Tour: Attending Our First K-Pop Concert Ever!

Wed, 30 Sep 2026 10:00:00 GMT

Did we really just go to our first K-pop concert?

In this episode, we are excited to share our experiences from attending the BTS ARIRANG Tour in Baltimore. (Spoiler alert: we had a time.)

Also, at the time of this recording in August, we discussed news about the surprising removal of Xdinary Heroes leader and BTS members attending the Chris Brown and USHER concert. As a result, we also ask ourselves the question: What does accountability look like between K-Pop idols and their fans?

"This & That" by Stray Kids
"X Room" and “Good Enough” by Xdinary Heroes (get into your emo bag)

How Did We Get Here? Into the K-Pop Rabbit Hole, We Go...

Wed, 23 Sep 2026 10:00:00 GMT

In our first episode, we ask each other the question — "how did your journey into K-Pop begin?" We name artists that first caught our attention such as Big Bang, 2pm, Rain, BTS, and Epik High. We also draw inspiration from actress Chase Infiniti’s unapologetic Black joy as she successfully lives out her K-Pop fangirl dreams by becoming the leading lady in ATEEZ’S ‘Bad’ music video.

Also, here are a few K-Pop jams we recommend to folks who are new to the genre: "Sweet Dreams” by j-hope ft. Miguel; "MONA LISA" by j-hope; anything by DEAN, and Anderson .Paak’s K-POPS!
