Episode: Ep. 28: BTS and K-Pop's Impact on Asian American Guys
Description: With BTS accelerating the mainstream-ization of K-pop in America, the ever-popular question among Asian American guys becomes more pertinent: is K-pop good for the beleaguered Asian male image in America? Oxford, Jong, and Q join forces to talk about breaking free of traditionalist American masculine norms and the importance of Asian Americans to be in touch with what's going on in Asian pop culture.
CORRECTION: IU collaborated with Seo Taiji, not Tablo, on the song "Sogyeokdong".
