Some y'all be like "Pick me! Pick me! Pick me UP! Pick me! Pick me! Pick me UP!" and don't even know it... It's been a while, as usual. Just think of us as a solar eclipse. Depending where you are in the world, not everybody is going to see us. Make sure not to look directly at us if you do see us tho. This episode is the third part to our Trauma Series! We discuss the spectacle of the training process, "hardship" as a concept, and how baring witness to growing pains doesn't necessarily guarantee safety, security and money (which... like most regular people... most of these kids are looking for)for the ones trying their hardest. When is someone prepared enough for the whirlwind of connections and luck that industrialized art runs on!? ? I'm convinced this episode would be a solid 4 hours long if we talked about No Mercy, Finding Momoland, The Unit, Dance or Band, Boys24, MIXNINE, YG Treasure Box... Even though there are a slew of underrepresented and disbanded groups we stick to mostly Produce but trust, we touch on a couple of other ones too. Shoutout After School... shoutout Pristin... shoutout Fromis_9... shoutout Gugudan... shoutout Weki Meki... shoutout DIA... shoutout WJSN... Also the lovely professor referenced is Suk-Young Kim, head of Theater and Performance Studies at UCLA. She's also @DrAjumma on Twitter. *~Music this Episode~* Trauma | SEVENTEEN Spotlight | 1THE9 10억뷰 (1 Billion Views)| EXO-SC 질렀어 (Now or Never) | SF9 죽겠다(KILLING ME)| iKON I Feel You | Wonder Girls You Raised Me Up | Josh Groban The Climb | Miley Cyrus I Got a Boy | Girls Generation Applause (Lady Gaga Cover) | Yoo Jeongyeon youtube.com/watch?v=vLISena_9Us Headlines Freestyle | Choi Vernon youtube.com/watch?v=Geg5j_ivuKQ Pick Me | Produce 101 EOEO | UNIQ 봄바람 (Spring Breeze)| Wanna One Flash | X1 Secret Tape | Sunmi Drip | Hinapia Follow Us: @kpop_critical_ $kpopcritical Catrina Cash App: $catrinajk www.instagram.com/catnastee/ Morgan Cash App: $mrgnhayes www.instagram.com/mrgnhayes.co.uk/ "Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for -fair use- for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
