K-Pop Cafe - Season 2, Episode 4

Sorry for the unexpected hiatus.  After much sickness and many bouts of fail, Episode 4 is here!

In which we talk about bullying in Korea, Shinhwa’s nudity, America Panties, and make way too many anime references (one of us watched too much Toonami during her childhood).

You can stream the podcast here (to download: right click and hit “save link as”)
