In another double-shot of Daebak or Not as Soupermatic and DJ Peter Lo review Seohyun’s Don’t Say No and CLC’s Hobgoblin.

It’s our first time recording with a new audio interface which we believe increases the audio quality of our voices and eases the post-production editing process. Our hope is that this will make the overall production value of the show rises from here in a way that allows us to get episodes out sooner.
