CW: For the first 5-10 minutes of this episode we talk about Liam Payne's passing and the US elections. If these topics are sensitive for you, please proceed with caution. In this (kinda) shady episode, we talk about JK's upcoming Disney+ docuseries, Tae's upcoming Christmas collab with Bing Crosby, Jimin's streaming race against Harry Styles, the Grammy's lack of k-pop nominees, and what we know so far about Jin's forthcoming album.

Note: Trigger warning for discussion of NCT Taeil's sexual assault charges at the 48:30 mark. Proceed with caution. Little did we know we were all competing with a fish for Jin's hand in marriage....anyway, in this episode, we talk about a variety of topics, mostly focusing on Jin's re-release of Super Tuna (with a bonus verse). The name of the German award we mention on the track in relation to RM's LOST! video is the Ciclope Festival.
