Hi everyone!

While 17 Carat K-Pop and Enthusiasts are on a break, please know that I’m currently preparing a lot of exciting episodes and articles to release throughout the rest of the year!

Here’s what you can look forward to still in 2023:

• More exclusive interviews!
• “Best Of” lists galore: the best albums, songs, music videos, and more from 2023!
• A new episode of “STAY Tuned,” an episode series that you can catch up on here!
• At least one more new episode of Enthusiasts, a show you can catch up on here!
• Articles about ENHYPEN, NewJeans, and many more of your favorite artists!
• Constant updates to these concert and release date guides!
• And so much more!

Here are three things to do while you wait for my new episodes and articles!

#1: Catch up on previous episodes of 17 Carat K-Pop with this new and improved directory!

• Discography deep-dives,
• Interviews with artists and hitmakers,
• Book-club-style episodes about K-pop artists’ sources of inspiration,
• And so much more!

#2: Catch up on my best essays and interviews with this directory!

• My personal experiences as an autistic K-pop fan,
• A discography-spanning analysis of TXT’s music video world,
• Thoughts on the Barbie movie and its surprising parallels to a K-pop music video, 
• And so much more!

#3: Tell your friends and family!
If you…

• Appreciate all of the hard work that goes into my shows and blog,
• Know someone who needs a new pop culture and/or K-pop podcast recommendation,
• And/or have listened to my show and/or read my posts and felt inspired, entertained, or informed,

Please help spread the word about my work! It is more important than ever to support independent creators, given the unpredictability of promoting on social media at the moment. Word-of-mouth is vital for sustaining the work of your favorite podcasters and writers, and I’d be honored to be one of them!

Please share these links to help!

Thank you, and we’ll catch up soon!

Hope
