Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello everyone, and welcome back to The K Factor Everything
k Pop hosted by Bomhan. I am a former kpop
(00:21):
training who toured around the world doing content performances, and
I'm here to shed some light on the behind the
scenes of the K pop experience. Here's a little reminder
that you can listen to this podcast on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Let's get started this week.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
We have a bunch of news from the K pop
world that I wanted to cover.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
First of all, Black Pink's tour. A couple of weeks ago,
I talked.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
About this Deadline tour coming and it has finally started,
and oh my god, is it everything I expected and more.
This makes me even more excited for BTS's first tour
to come back. And Deadline is amazing. They had like
a twenty two set list, like two twenty two songs
set lists that they.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Were kind of chopping through.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
They all preview their like solo projects, they perform their
solo projects, and they previewed a song called Jump featuring
German techno Elements and I am absolutely obsessed.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
I love that K pop is.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Drawing influence from more and more corners of the world.
Sometimes you see these little jersey elements with these jersey beats.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Sometimes you see all these hip hop elements.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
You see these R and B and and now German
techno on the grandest stage of k pop yet, which
is Black Pink's Deadline Tour. And this Deadline Tour, YG,
their CEO attends this concert and he's seen crying. His
daughter also came and watched the concert with other fellow
k pop members. And this is surprising, and it feels
(01:46):
like it feels like a proud dad kind of taking
in everything that has been created, you know, because Black
Pig is a big project.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
And and and look at.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
All the success that Black Pink has brought in all
the all the things that they have brought to Korea,
to kpop.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
And to YG entertainment.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
And speaking of BTS as I have before, and a
Winter herself is seen on video inviting BTS's v to
Vogue World event in October what in icon On other news,
Baby Monster USA reveals that she only graduated kindergarten. Wow,
that is wow. She's like, what kind of school have
(02:24):
I graduated from?
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Kindergarten? A boom? That is that is done good. That
is not a good look at all.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Oh my gosh, Well, we have actually covered this exact topic,
if this interests you in one of our previous episodes
with a former kpop training who left school at the
age of twelve to go and pursue a career in
K pop, and he talks about his experiences and all
these things in a previous episode I think is called
making of a K pop Training.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
I'll be honest, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
So Asa reveals that she only graduated kindergarten, and she
clarifies later. She said, I said I graduated from kindergarten,
and I think there were people who were surprised. I've
been an artist since elementary school, since I practiced while
chasing my dream. I went back and forth between school
and practice. I said I went to school properly because
it felt like I was still in kindergarten. I meant
it in a funny way, but I didn't explain it
(03:15):
well because I spoke briefly.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
This.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
This is a very familiar statement. Every single time I
say something stupid. There was one time I went on
live and I was like, I should just be president
because I can solve all the problems in this world.
If like, for example, chat give me examples, and they
were like global warming, and I was like, why don't
we just take all the AC's in the windows that
(03:38):
point it inward and point it outward, and now we're
air conditioning the outside. I meant just as a joke.
I was joking, and my company made me go onto
the next live saying, guys, I have a very advanced,
hassive humor and I did not mean the things that
I said, and I spoke it in a funny way,
and it slipped my mind at people who would not
(04:01):
want me to be president because I am stupid.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
So I saw, I know what you're going through.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
On other news, Shiny timm In sparks plastic surgery rumors
in the music corge of Pancho after fans are saying
that he got a nose job, that whatever it is,
maybe's nose filler, with like before and after pictures as saying, oh,
he shouldn't have done it, you he was so handsome before,
(04:27):
y'all leave him alone. If a man wants to go
and and and sniff some more air, let him. Who
cares if he looked better before or after? He I
think he looks amazing. Either way, it is his choice
if he wants to. If he wants a new nose,
go get a new nose. King, you don't know what's
going on in his head. Timman spoils plastic surgery room.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Who cares? Tim and Tim and.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Timmy got so what if he got a new nose?
Maybe he did it, Maybe he did that is his business.
Super Junior celebrates twenty years as a group.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Wow. Wow, that is a long time.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
I wonder if stray Kids after twenty years will still
be straight kids. If Super Junior after twenty years is
still Super Junior and not your your high school super Senior,
then stray kids can also do it. They will not
be straight men straight dudes be They'll be straight kids forever.
And now what I am most passionate about, Twice Twice
(05:22):
is back for the first time in four years. Welcome
back twice and thank you twice. Thank you JYP for
the beautiful masterpiece that is K Pop Demon Hunters. K
Pop Demon Hunters is the best movie of all time.
(05:43):
There is no movie better than K Pop Demon Hunters.
K Pop Demon Hunters has the same appeal and charm
as as Barbie it's silly, it's cringey, but they embrace
all of that and they make their identity that is cringe.
(06:03):
And you know what, none of it matters because the
music is perfect. The K Pop Demon Hunters soundtrack has
climbed to number three on the Billboard two hundred, according
to Billboard on Sunday. The album jumped five spots from
last week's number eight. I mean, the highest charting soundtrack
of twenty twenty five so far. What is also the
(06:26):
top ranking animated film soundtrack sins Incanto in twenty twenty one,
which top the chart for nine weeks.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
In twenty twenty one.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Your Idol by the Saja Boys is the second group
behind BTS to debut top one hundred on the Billboard.
Tarks Saja Boys, they are not a real boy band.
I am, I am, and you know what. You know
who's responsible for this me? You're welcome. Capop Demon Hunters.
You're welcome, Saja Boys.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
All of us. We are cooked. They are taking all
of our souls.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
If you have not watched Capop Demon Hunters, go literally
watch Capboe Demon Hunter. I have watched K Pop Demon
Hunters four times in four days. Every night before I
go to sleep, I listen to all the songs and
then I watch Keepop Demon.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Hunters wh is so good. Shit Roomy, if you.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Know anything about me, my story, my lord of all
the of all the years, Roomy symbolism everything that she represents,
the scars, not the scars, the mark the markings that
she's ashamed of. And she she steps into this new
person and then her and then people turn against her
and Wow, Roomy, Wow, k Pop Demon Hunters and Wow Twice.
(07:37):
I bring this up because Twice was the leading voices
for the fictional girl group Hunters and KOP Demon Hunters.
I don't know how long I've been talking about this,
but but I'm gonna move on now. I love KPE
Demon Hunters.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
I okay.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Anyway, upcoming tours, we have a step nine who announced
the Love Dawn Tour starting in October from his nine
announced Now Tomorrow tour starting in August. Tickets are now available,
and they had their first win ever as a five
member group. That's so important and so powerful. Wow, have
(08:11):
a huge change like that. It's like it's like it's
like if the Indiana Pacers lost Tyrese Halliburton in the
middle of their season and they still won a championship.
I to all the people listening to this podcast, I
am so sorry if my editor leaves that in. I
apologize for wasting seven seconds of your time for something
that is so persistent.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Me sorry.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Purple Kiss will have their comeback July sixteenth, and I'm excited.
Stacey will come back July twenty third, and Bomhan is
coming back as well. My first digital single is called
Dancing under Moonlight, and it's a song that we have
worked over a year on now finding the perfect sound.
(08:56):
If this little part wasn't right, we'll go back and
re sing it. We probably have like an total probably
like like a hundred no, definitely at least one hundred
hours of studio time just on this project, this album
that we have coming together and and me myself and
I my song that I had no idea what I
was doing, but that I debuted with. I spent not
(09:17):
one hundred hours. I spent three hours in the studio.
I had no idea what I was doing. I booked
a studio for three hours. I went in there and
I was like, yo, let's let's get it done. And
we recorded one track and then I went and I
got Burger king. That was that was how I did
meet myself and I and the mixing engineer was like, yeah,
(09:38):
I mean like you don't even you don't even have
to sing the bridge.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Like I'll just just just hold.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
A note and I'll make it. I was like, what
do you mean? He was like, just go ah and
then and then he made my note like he made
a bridge for me. Like it was seeing us go
from that to all these processes, working with like the
producer and writer of BT has Butter, working with like
the production teams of all these famous, famous, famous artists.
(10:05):
I was I was in a room one time, I
was in a studio and they're like, yeah, Rihanna was
here last week.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
I was like, reve Queen Revie, what do you mean
by that?
Speaker 1 (10:12):
And then and then my manager will be sitting down
with one of the one of the one of the producers,
and they'll be like, yall, remember that time we worked
with Jackson. I'm like, Jackson five, But what Jackson? They're like, yeah,
like Mia Michael. I was like Michael Jackson, King of Pop.
He was like yeah, I was like, what, Like just
being in this space is so far from where we've been,
(10:34):
you know. So I'm excited for this project. I'm excited
for all the things that are coming. And this week
we've been taking kind of like a long break from
everything because we've been we've been getting ready for the
music video for d Un.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
The music video for d Un will be filmed this week. Finally,
I've been waiting for so long. I'm finally going back
to LA.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
I've been New York for like the past however long,
visiting my family, and now everything, all the gears are
are falling into place, and we're going to LA where
we're gonna be doing a bunch of promotions, doing a
bunch of photo shoots and all these things. And it's finally,
it's finally, it's finally seasoned for all these things. So
I hope you guys are as excited for this project
as I am. Dum Dancing under Moonlight and the upcoming album.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
And yeah, I mean, I mean, that's what's up now
that I'm done promoting this thing.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
The first section of these episodes of the podcasts are news.
If you're listening in your car, if you're listening on
your way to work, or you're listening just kind of
like chilling in your room having nothing to do. You
know what I mean, Let's throw on a podcast about
K pop.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
You know what I mean? Here I am.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Well, that's your news and now you're up to date
with everything happening. This second part is about more niche topics.
Sometimes we'll have guests coming on to talk about little
experiences that they have with K pop. Sometimes we'll have
random people, like last week, we have need to come in.
She's just a random art enthusiast. But we find these
(12:05):
intersections that elevate K pop and build k pop and
we bring this to your attention. And k pop as
the industry has a lot of dance and we're here
to kind of bring the curtain back on all that
you know, and a lot of it is also the
artist experience and everything that I went through going through
(12:30):
the system and what was the intersection of me and
K pop? You know. So this episode, I'm doing this alone.
We have no guests, we have no special effects, we
have no no none of these dazzling lights. And I
just want to be kind of like transparent and present
with you guys.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
And a big part.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Of being truly truly present with the fans, with the
audience and all these things comes with like this little
growth that we have. I've been in front of the
camera since I was eighteen. We were talking about USA
early in the earlier in the episode where she's been
(13:10):
living this license, she was like in kindergarten, you know
what I mean A couple episodes, we had a we
had a capot training that was here since he was fourteen.
And a lot of the times we lose our humanity,
we don't take time to really go out and socialize
with friends and do all these things. This a little
bit there's a little bit of a crazier thing I'm
(13:33):
going to reveal. And not everyone goes through this. But
when I first signed a contract of my company, I
was given a card with three names of people that
I was allowed to contact, and I was not allowed
to contact more than three people outside of the ones
of the contact list that I gave my company. Like
I spent every single day like isolated and away from that.
And like that's how I spent a lot of my childhood.
(13:54):
So when these idols they get these engagement with fans,
like there's really a really, really a precious time, you know,
And uh, A big part of me leaving my company,
and then coming over to America was growing and finding
that humanity again and what it was like to be
a person, what it was like to feel like like depressed,
(14:15):
what it was like to feel happy, what it was
like to just sit down and kick it with the boys.
I have not sat down and kicked it with boys
in probably my whole life, I think, and and just
just just living my life. And a big part of
this album, a big part of this music that's coming,
(14:35):
it's K pop, it's K pop influenced because I was
in that system. I did everything and a lot of
people were like, oh, how can you do this? But uh,
but you never debuted. I debuted, You don't know, but
I debuted. I did tours, I did fan signs, I
(14:58):
released music all under the guy that it was pre debut,
But pre debut trainees don't go on tours, eight month
long tours, promoting on social media, doing radio, doing all
these things. And there's a reason why I was never
considered like a debuted idol. And it's exploit it's taking
advantage of visas, uh, taking advantage of all these little things,
(15:19):
and allegedly, allegedly so the music that we have now
I am independent. I I I'm still funding this through
a team separate from a label. I'm still here trying
to build all these concepts, and its talking about myself
and this this album is a collection of that life,
all the life that I've found since I left and
(15:41):
being like okay, growing up and talking about girls here.
You know something, something is crazy stupid. I would never
write about girls if I was under a KBOC company
something silly like that. Talking about love, like what it
was like, the feeling of being in love and the
feeling of of of just just what is just experience
just being present, you know. So this album is very
(16:03):
special to me. The work behind it is very special
to me, having the growth and having it be supported
by fans, are you guys, and the life behind it
which is me so yeah, just being independent and K
pop and the intersection what is the intersection of K
pop and life? And hopefully you guys can feel that
(16:24):
in the in the new album that's coming up, which
I'm excited for. Yeah, I guess that's that latest news.
K pop updates, some tours coming up if you guys
want to go enjoy yourselves with some friends.
Speaker 2 (16:34):

that we have coming together and and me myself and
I my song that I had no idea what I
was doing, but that I debuted with. I spent not
(09:17):
one hundred hours. I spent three hours in the studio.
I had no idea what I was doing. I booked
a studio for three hours. I went in there and
I was like, yo, let's let's get it done. And
we recorded one track and then I went and I
got Burger king. That was that was how I did
meet myself and I and the mixing engineer was like, yeah,
(09:38):
I mean like you don't even you don't even have
to sing the bridge.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Like I'll just just just hold.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
A note and I'll make it. I was like, what
do you mean? He was like, just go ah and

a bridge for me. Like it was seeing us go
from that to all these processes, working with like the
producer and writer of BT has Butter, working with like
the production teams of all these famous, famous, famous artists.
(10:05):

and they'll be like, yall, remember that time we worked
with Jackson. I'm like, Jackson five, But what Jackson? They're like, yeah,
like Mia Michael. I was like Michael Jackson, King of Pop.
He was like yeah, I was like, what, Like just
being in this space is so far from where we've been,
(10:34):
you know. So I'm excited for this project. I'm excited
for all the things that are coming. And this week

I hope you guys are as excited for this project

Speaker 2 (11:18):
And yeah, I mean, I mean, that's what's up now
that I'm done promoting this thing.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
The first section of these episodes of the podcasts are news.
If you're listening in your car, if you're listening on
your way to work, or you're listening just kind of
like chilling in your room having nothing to do. You
know what I mean, Let's throw on a podcast about
K pop.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
You know what I mean? Here I am.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Well, that's your news and now you're up to date
with everything happening. This second part is about more niche topics.
Sometimes we'll have guests coming on to talk about little
experiences that they have with K pop. Sometimes we'll have
random people, like last week, we have need to come in.
She's just a random art enthusiast. But we find these
(12:05):
intersections that elevate K pop and build k pop and
we bring this to your attention. And k pop as
the industry has a lot of dance and we're here
to kind of bring the curtain back on all that
you know, and a lot of it is also the
artist experience and everything that I went through going through
(12:30):
the system and what was the intersection of me and
K pop? You know. So this episode, I'm doing this alone.
We have no guests, we have no special effects, we
have no no none of these dazzling lights. And I
just want to be kind of like transparent and present
with you guys.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
And a big part.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Of being truly truly present with the fans, with the
audience and all these things comes with like this little
growth that we have. I've been in front of the
camera since I was eighteen. We were talking about USA
early in the earlier in the episode where she's been
(13:10):
living this license, she was like in kindergarten, you know
what I mean A couple episodes, we had a we
had a capot training that was here since he was fourteen.
And a lot of the times we lose our humanity,
we don't take time to really go out and socialize
with friends and do all these things. This a little
bit there's a little bit of a crazier thing I'm
(13:33):
going to reveal. And not everyone goes through this. But
when I first signed a contract of my company, I
was given a card with three names of people that
I was allowed to contact, and I was not allowed
to contact more than three people outside of the ones
of the contact list that I gave my company. Like
I spent every single day like isolated and away from that.
And like that's how I spent a lot of my childhood.
(13:54):
So when these idols they get these engagement with fans,
like there's really a really, really a precious time, you know,
And uh, A big part of me leaving my company,
and then coming over to America was growing and finding
that humanity again and what it was like to be
a person, what it was like to feel like like depressed,
(14:15):
what it was like to feel happy, what it was
like to just sit down and kick it with the boys.
I have not sat down and kicked it with boys
in probably my whole life, I think, and and just
just just living my life. And a big part of
this album, a big part of this music that's coming,
(14:35):
it's K pop, it's K pop influenced because I was
in that system. I did everything and a lot of
people were like, oh, how can you do this? But uh,
but you never debuted. I debuted, You don't know, but
I debuted. I did tours, I did fan signs, I
(14:58):
released music all under the guy that it was pre debut,
But pre debut trainees don't go on tours, eight month
long tours, promoting on social media, doing radio, doing all
these things. And there's a reason why I was never
considered like a debuted idol. And it's exploit it's taking
advantage of visas, uh, taking advantage of all these little things,
(15:19):
and allegedly, allegedly so the music that we have now
I am independent. I I I'm still funding this through
a team separate from a label. I'm still here trying
to build all these concepts, and its talking about myself
and this this album is a collection of that life,
all the life that I've found since I left and
(15:41):
being like okay, growing up and talking about girls here.
You know something, something is crazy stupid. I would never
write about girls if I was under a KBOC company
something silly like that. Talking about love, like what it
was like, the feeling of being in love and the
feeling of of of just just what is just experience
just being present, you know. So this album is very
(16:03):
special to me. The work behind it is very special
to me, having the growth and having it be supported
by fans, are you guys, and the life behind it
which is me so yeah, just being independent and K
pop and the intersection what is the intersection of K
pop and life? And hopefully you guys can feel that
(16:24):
in the in the new album that's coming up, which
I'm excited for. Yeah, I guess that's that latest news.
K pop updates, some tours coming up if you guys
want to go enjoy yourselves with some friends.
