Episode 157 - Everybody's Wrong, Everybody's Dumb, Including Us

This week, we lament the loss of another seminal girl group, commend their label for getting their other group off of a sinking ship, discuss defamation law in Korea (kinda, be prepared, we ain't lawyers), and marvel at the determination of angry fangirls. All that, new tunes, and more!

(P.S.: This episode was recorded late last week and thus before the tragic passing of Kim Jonghyun.  We haven't decided if and how we'll address our thoughts on these events. We send our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and to all the Shawols all over the world.)
