On this episode, we avoid the elephant in the K-Pop room, for now. Instead, we discuss the escalation in the contract length MNET is asking for in the new edition of Produce, a couple of names from (or formerly from) AKB48 making moves into Korean companies, and the expansion of K-Merch in American retail stores. All that, plus new tunes, and more! Get it!
