Not Your Average Netizens

I like to think that we here at NYAN are a talented bunch. Also, I'd say our ability to stretch a 30 min conversation into 2 hours is unparalleled. This past week was a little light on news, but we took the opportunity to discuss other topics at length, including Vlive services ending, Blackpink blasted for tour performances, and the devastation in Itaewon. We here at NYAN send out our most heartf...

Ain’t you tired K-pop? It's another delightful episode in which we have a lengthy discussion about race and Korean pop music. However, if you need a break from the politics, Nat, Jay, Ashe, and Jemin would like to offer you some lighter fare: has stanning K-pop become more important than the music itself, and are ATEEZ's choreography stealing controversies really a big conspiracy to raise their pr...

Dear listeners, We bow before you in search of your forgiveness. In the face of real-life trials and tribulations, our recent output has been sporadic. NYAN is currently undergoing some changes behind the scenes, and honestly, implementing the upgrades has been challenging. But we also apologize for our inconsistency. We promise that it will all be worth it soon. And we are incredibly grateful to...

Hey everyone, here's the second and last of our backlogged episodes, recorded in the last month of July.

Wassup, everyone, we're back! Unfortunately, whenever you come back from a break, hiatus, what-have-you, it's common to be a bit behind with what's trending. So this ep's a grab bag of K-pop news and music from the last couple of months, recorded the week of June 6th! Don't worry, we'll be back on our regular biweekly schedule for the next episode!

We're back for more K-pop shenanigans, and we've got a stacked (read longer) show this week with a ton of discourse about: the uncanny valley of K-pop beauty standards, Idols and NFTs, the most tweeted about groups around the world, and – if a Felix sexts in the woods, will anyone hear it?

So, how's everyone doing? We're...doing, which is to be expected during these times. But sometimes, you just gotta stop doom scrolling, step away from the phone or computer and indulge yourself in some intelligent and hilarious discourse about the industry in which we continue to drown our sorrows – K-pop! In this episode we cover NMIXX's confusing debut concept, Jungkook's good boy qualities, as...

It's a light week for news but that doesn't mean it can't be entertaining!
