Dana is finally in Los Angeles, so she's in the studio with JRE to talk about some epic K-pop moments — starting with Dana's first ever visit to one of the podcast's favorite restaurants in Koreatown, Louder's, and a very personal J-Hope concert experience we won’t forget. Plus, we’re reuniting for SM Town and we might be roaming around, so come say hi!

Then we dive into the latest in K-pop news:

Mark Lee’s global domination with his first solo album The Firstfruit, hitting #1 in 20+ countries — and yes, he’s also now the face of Tim Hortons Korea (Canada REPRESENT!)

Daesung’s emotional comeback with D’s WAVE — a rock-inspired album two years in the making, and an Asia tour to match.

Jay Park’s not retiring! His “Serenades & Body Rolls” tour is taking over the globe.

EXO celebrates 13 years of music, friendship, and feels — with a reunion fan meeting in the works.

Plus: Xikers is back with “Breathe” and they’ll be on the show April 28th!

We’re also gearing up for SM Town — sharing who we’re excited to see, the collabs we hope for, and what it must feel like for rookie groups to share the stage with legends.
