Did BTS earn "perfect?" Our hardest decision since deciding to rate TWICE's album as weak. Oh, and we rated SF9, too! Find out if either of them are even good in episode 10 of The Kpop Show!   Oh, and: Andrew has a brilliant idea for the next BTS music video, Rhodri can't ever get the podcast description right, and we say BTS more times in a row than any podcasters ever have before. Also, Andrew explains why SF9 can't swim in the deep end, Rhodri was forced to make the most difficult decision of his podcasting career, and we both still make way too many jokes during the honorable mentions section.   We love you.

You won't believe the stuff you never knew about these guys. Their song is perfect, and we want you to know what brought them to this point, so we dedicated an episode to their artistic histories.

Can Suzy even sing? Maybe not, but Red Velvet can, and they prove it in their latest release, Rookie. Find out if these albums are even good in episode 9 of THE Kpop Show.   In other news, Andrew actually follows Kpop now, Rhodri feels bad for Red Velvet, and we cry tears of joy because of Gallant's beautiful voice. Also, Andrew learns he can see the future of Kpop, Rhodri fails at pronouncing Korean names, and we tell too many jokes during our Honorable mentions.   Think you can handle it?   Suzy // Yes No Maybe // 4:39 Red Velvet // Rookie // 11:43 Zion.T // OO // 19:42 Honorable Mentions // 23:33   Kang Sira - Don't Wanna Forget Kevin Oh - Stardust Gain & Jeff Bernat - Pray Yesung - Darling U San E - I Am Me (feat.

There are some striking similarities between "Hello (feat. Eric Nam)" and "Starlight (feat. DEAN)" that we reveal. So: did Seohyun copy Taeyeon? Whose fault is it that this happened? Also, Rhodri thinks this is Kpop's most disappointing two weeks of his entire Kpop experience, Andrew plugs La La Land, Dreamcatcher sings like the Rockers of old, 2NE1 says goodbye, CLC gets pooped on, and Jun.K isn't Junk. All of this (not necessarily in that order) and more in Episode 8! Jun.

There was a PERFECT album this week! Was it AoA's? Was it NCT 127's? We'll tell you who did us all this favor, because this week we're reviewing TONS of albums. ALSO: Would you believe that Jun.K FINALLY released a track that sounds like music? And Day6 is back! And two groups from the 90s released albums! Who'd have expected the surprises 2017 brought to Kpop? We think it's safe to say this is 2017's best week in Kpop releases.
