Amateur Hour with Denise Kim

Long time no see again! Denise wraps up the season solo to discuss all the changes that have happened over the past few months living back in the States. No longer in Korea, Denise has been taking much needed time away to meet with friends and family before embarking on her next great chapter: university. She speaks about her excitement, her concerns, and her goals as she transitions into a new norm. Also, Charlie Puth digs her singing? Crazy.

It's been awhile but we're back, baby! Denise wraps her mind around going into 2023 and chats with Hollywood casting director, Sam Stiglitz, to get better insight into auditioning, casting, and debunking certain myths about the process. Want to be a star? Well, let's hear what it takes to become one.

Denise gets chaotic with her two good friends and actors, Jelly and Levi Bernhardt, who have spent significant time as foreigners working in entertainment and living in Korea. They get real about the challenges foreigners face in getting into the K-Pop industry, the expectations people should have going in, and what it's actually like to move and live in a new country.

Denise has a major starstruck moment chatting with the one and only actor, Candice King (The Vampire Diaries, The Originals), who was so lovely and candid about her own path in life and the entertainment industry. They discuss getting through tough times and self doubt, and working towards their own "superbloom". Fingers crossed for a Candice and Denise hangout in Seoul soon!

Producer Diane steps up to the mic to chat with Denise on how they met in Korea, her work on all the podcasts (not just DIVE Studios), and how she's able to make major albeit quite impulsive life decisions. They answer questions from listeners on social media and talk a little too much about road work? IFYKYK.

Buckle in y'all because we got two Texans in the room! Well, almost via an Internet connection.

It's time to get closer with Denise in this up and close personal journal entry episode where she discusses learning to block unneeded people from her life (like spam calls), featuring on JO MALXN's song "Mile High", and striving for eternal youth on the inside. What are you doing to life a long, fulfilling life? If the answer is "not much" then you're not alone, friend.

We go full circle with this episode's guest and Denise's (now former) radio co-host, Ashley Choi! The two discuss how K-Pop has evolved since Ashley's debut, Denise's true origins into trainee life, and odd stares from people for showing bare shoulders. Denise also shares how she's been feeling about her busy work life lately and her goal towards a more restful work-life balance.

In this episode, Denise has stomach issues and chats with her new friend (and "date"), Jimmy Zhang. Unrelated between the two - we swear! They bond over anime, being late bloomers, and anxiety that comes with performing in public. Not sure about romance but a beautiful friendship was definitely in the air!

In this episode, Denise catches up with her dear friend and fellow idol turned independent artist Daisy Yu (formerly of Momoland). They talk about how they first met on a weekend trip with friends outside of Seoul, how they leaned on each other for support as they exited their companies, and how an eventful 30-hour layover in Vietnam almost had them stranded.
