How do you thank the person responsible for writing the song that changed your life as a fangirl forever? That's what we had to figure out this week as we welcomed the one and only Chikk to the podcast!! Chikk has written dozens of Kpop mega hits including SHINee's 'Don't Call Me', NCT127's 'Kick It' and of course our EXO gateway, 'Monster'!!!!

This week's episode is based off a joke we've been making to ourselves for years and though the title isn't actually accurate, we're keeping it anyway.

Be honest, how many of them had you actually heard of before? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy fo ..read more
