Show notes
In today's episode I take a deep dive into SM Entertainment's latest financial report, looking at the company's release schedule, future plans and why I have more questions than answers when it comes to SMTR25's debut.
I also look ahead at August's packed release schedule, including upcoming Japanese releases from BOYNEXTDOOR, HEARTS2HEARTS and more.
The second half of the episode focuses on the tragic story surrounding the Engene who died following online harassment, leading into a wider discussion about fandom culture, the responsibility artists and companies have, and why I think this conversation goes far beyond K-pop.
I also touch on THE BOYZ continuing as nine members and the latest developments surrounding New's departure.
