Bringing you the best sounds and ideas in K-pop each week. Featuring guests in and around the k-pop community. On a regular basis, we recommend "hit replay" songs you should listen to, as well as provide semi-regular in-depth k-pop editorial told nowhere else.

I'm an American fan of Asian pop culture and especially of East Asian pop music.  I've spent 20+ years learning about this corner of pop culture and hope to be a bridge between East and West. All opinions are my own. 

Show notes and other writings from the past decade-plus can be found on my website.

Kpop Critical is a kiki where we deconstruct Kpop, talk notions of "the Diva", Kpop being the grandchild of Motown and Hollywood, the commodity of art-making, white supremacy's relentless grip on pop, and the intersection of "pointless" and "perfect" in pop culture. It might not sound like it sometimes but we like Kpop, we would just prefer if celebrity and US imperialism didn't exist.
