AyoGG: The Kpop Podcast

The best news of the entire year has hit me like a truck today. VIVIZ is going to have a world tour called V.hind : Love and Tears and we need to talk about it. Social Media: - Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheGermanSone

I had the pleasure to attend Dreamcatchers "Luck Inside 7 Doors" concert in Germany and had a blast!!! so, let me share my love and excitement for it with you all!! :D

The final has arrived and a new superstar on the Kpop horizon has been born. EL7Z UP found with Hwiseo, Nana, Yuki, Kei, Yeoreum, Yeonhee and Yeeun it's final and set members but, before this happened, we got a performance-filled episode full of typical Mnet EMOTIONS that we simply had to talk about. So let's start and take on together this one, last ride. Please, let us know your opinions...

Episode 9 of Queendom Puzzle is all about the semi-finale. The last episode before the big finale and birth of EL7Z UP. It once again gets emotional as 3 of my personal top 7 are getting eliminated and the Cherry Bullet curse once again claims its prize... On top of that, we discuss 3 performances of iDGA, Puzzlin and I Do, as well as the finale battle songs Billionaire and Last Piece. Please, let...

I don't want to sugarcoat it. Episode 8 of Queendom Puzzle has been the worst episode in a Mnet Show ever. It had little to no new content, repeated clips multiple times, and had very bad script writing. Does this mean you should skip this episode of the podcast? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! Because we instead took the time to look back on the best moments of the show so far, discuss the current interim...

Episode 7 of Queendom Puzzle presses the emotional pedal through the ground and hit us with a beautiful Rise Up performances of all girls, revealed the current top 7 and, unfortunately, eliminated 5 of our lovely contestants with some real, painful, surprises. Please, let us know your opinions on the episode in the comments or via the following e-mail address: ayogg@gmx.net Wanna rather listen to...

Episode number 6 of Queendom Puzzle blows us away with 4 fantastic dance performances, in which team Queendom is fighting desperately, to make up for the 3 previously lost rounds. It is getting sexy, dreamy, cool, and, as always, emotional. Please, let us know your opinions on the episode in the comments or via the following e-mail address: ayogg@gmx.net Wanna rather listen to this on Spotify? Her...

Episode 5 of Queendom Puzzle shows us the vocal and rap Rounds of the All-Rounder battles, in which the contestants have to showcase their abilities in all areas, of being a K-pop idol. We get some of the best performances in Mnet survival show history, as well as unfortunately unsuccessful attempts of giving a new, fresh version of an already existing song. Please, let us know your opinions on th...

Episode 4 of Queendom Puzzle shows us the final ranking of the Re-Mix Battle performances and... well... we do NOT agree with it. However, this episode also provided us with one of the best performances of the Mnet survival show history. To spice things up, Mnet also added a lot of drama (SHOCKER) and at least questionable puzzle mechanics. Please, let us know your opinions on the episode in the c...

Episode 3 of Queendom Puzzle provided us with much behind-the-scenes content of our contestants preparing themselves for multiple fantastic (or not?) performances. It is filled with slight anger, disappointments, and at some points even complete resignation! What all of that means? We are discussing this in depth in today's episode ^^ Please, let us know your opinions on the episode in the com...

Episode 2 of Queendom Puzzle presented the last batch Up and Down Battle performances which unfortunately, overall were more on the disappointing side, especially, compared with the ones from episode 1. So, was everything bad? DEFINITELY NOT! Some highlights still presented themselves and even managed to further establish a newly planted love. Please, let us know your opinions on the episode in th...

In episode 1 of Queendom Puzzle, Mnet is already again living up to their reputation and start to establish via drama, drama and more drama to establish the first "villains" and "rivalries". More importantly tho, we witnessed the first solo performances of the half of the contestants and got, at times, harsh critique in form of downvotes by the fellow contestants. On top of all...

In this first episode of our special podcast series for Queendom Puzzle, we are discussing what this show is actually all about, who the contestants are, and in which questionable ways Mnet is going to try to evil edit the participating girls this time. Please, let us know your opinions on the episode in the comments or via the following e-mail address: ayogg@gmx.net Want to see more of us? So go...

Tag along and listen to me fanboying about the best day of my life ^^   Chunghas "Don't believe in love": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gao47kLt58Y  Please, let me know your opinions on the episode in th...

The last episode before the big finale. Together we are discussing the FANtastic Queendom performances of LOONA with "Butterfly", Brave Girls with "Red Sun" and Hyolyn with "See Sea Bae". Once again this episode is also filled with cute interactions between the idols and their fans and also we are starting once again to question Mnets voting system as well as their intentions behind the focus on i...

The 8th episode of Queendom 2 was 100% dedicated to the fans. We saw our favorite girls directly interacting with their fans, talking with them and getting comforted by them. But, It was not all just talk. VIVIZ hit us with an upgraded bubbly, high teen version of "Bop! Bop", WJSN presented us a full-fledged Broadway musical with "Pantomime" and Kep1er honored the legacy of world-class group Girls...

In the seventh episode of Queendom 2 we finished the frist part round number 3 which consists of the vocal and dance unit battles.

No Mnet show without pointless voting. We are getting voted the undisputed beauty queen as well as a highly "surprising" popularity vote amongst the contestants. Much more important though, we finally get to see the vocal unit performances which, and that should not be a surprise, deliver some of the best vocals the industry has to offer combined into breathtaking unit groups.    Please,...

Out of the stinky studio and into the variety accommodation. After being just among themselves in their own groups, it is now time to finally get mixed up. The girls distribute themselves into vocal and dance units and partner up with each other to know fight with joint forces. Episode 5 of Queendome 2 was full of cute interactions as well as heartbreaking, UNFORGIVABLE moments. To round it all up...

Round 2 has finished with a bang. VIVIZ, Hyolin and Kep1er have delivered thrown their own versions of the songs Unnatural, So What and Pool Party right at us to leave us in awe bath in their glory. Unfortunately, not everything went as expected. To the extent, that Kep1er's Dayeon even fell from the stage during the performance. Fortunately, no one was hurt, so what remains is the big WOW that th...

Episode 3 of Queendom 2 provided us with the first set of the "Cover Song" performances by LOONA, Brave Girls and WJSN as well as giving us a short but fun gaming time to raise the competition and fighting spirit between the contestants. Were the performances successful? Did they make the borrowed songs their own? Or did they maybe fail and turned a great original song into nothing else than a sha...

Salt, saltier, the saltiest podcast episode YET. Well... relatively salty, at least :D Episode 2 of Queendom 2 provided us with a lot of discussion worthy content from the signature song performances themselves, over highly questionable statements from multiple groups up to the intriguing love story of the two BFFs that are forced to fight each other both on and of the stage. As you can see, the e...

The first real episode of Queendom season 2 has started and once again introduced us to each and every participant. This episode provides us less drama and much more harmony between the contestants, but only to fool us... to feel safe before the emotional hammer is crashing right into our guts.  One of the best performances I have ever seen by no one else than our beloved VIVIZ followed by a...
