Episode Formats

Hit Replay episodes curate songs in k-pop we recommend listening to. We dive into both underrecognized and mainstream hits, as well as allow artists themselves to spotlight their work. We additionally discuss things happening in Hallyu entertainment that we recommend listeners check out.

Outside of our regular episode formats, we occasionally provide recaps of concert experiences, audio dramas, year-end recaps, and lists.

Daebak or Not episodes dive deep into a specific song or album. Daebak or Not episodes typically assess a title track's: message/lyrics, concept, costumes, setting, choreography, and music. Lastly, they conclude with our Daebak or Not final assessment.

Hot Issue episodes provide K-pop News Commentary. We react to hot issues in k-pop, and conclude each episode with a rapid-fire session where we quickly say whether we're "daebak" or "not" to the news.

Interview episodes periodically speak with K-pop industry professionals who include the people both behind and in front of the camera.
