Kpop blind items from crazydaysandnights.net. Blind Item 1 (2:29)  News article 1, news article 2  Blind Item 2 (16:36)  Blind Item 3 (24:06)  Blind Item 4 (33:54)  Update to previous blind item (38:59)  Blind Item 5 (45:26)  This episode was originally recorded 7/18/20. It was never released due to the bleak nature of a few of the blind items discussed. However, since we're preparing a future episode with more kpop blind items, it feels appropriate to release this episode now, in order to provide more of a complete picture of the dark side of the Kpop industry. Again, just a reminder that this was recorded in July 2020, so when we talk about these blind items, try to think back to the kpop scandals that were happening at that time for context. Listener discretion is advised.  Be sure to listen to Kpop Blind Items #1 and #2 episodes for more blind items.  Follow the BTS Happy Hour Podcast on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Weverse (search #BTSHappyHour).
