Hello everyone and welcome back to A3Noonas K-pop Podcast. Today we did a changeup in the order of our episodes. Instead of going in order, we decided to switch up by posting episode 8 this week and episode 7 next week. Episode 8 was more relevant for this week. Next week will be episode 7, K-pop merch and why do we collect.

This week we 3 K-pop Besties dive in deep into the challenges of being a K-pop fan. What we discussed during this podcast is mostly based on our own personal experiences. We do touch on common challenges K-pop fans within the K-pop community and outside the K-pop community. Again, this is our opinion and based on our experiences.

Shout Out: We are giving our 1st shout out to fellow YouTuber, ‘Souley Says’. She gives blind reactions to K-pop videos. If you like tiaras, honest reactions, and some wine, head over to Souley Says. Plus she even has an Etsy shop that sells customized K-pop merch.
