Welcome to the ninth episode of Lez Get Candid! In this episode, we talk about a few examples of times gender inequality has been demonstrated in the K-pop industry. None of the topics discussed will get into the "dark side" of K-pop, scandals, dating, or censorship as they are their own topics. This is our first time tackling a more serious topic, so please leave feedback at our email, Twitter, or Apple podcasts.
Even though we do not discuss these more serious topics, there are still trigger warning in place for sexual assault/abuse, harassment, and suicide.
If you need to talk to someone about any of these topics, below are some hotlines:
