Tue, 08 Jun 2021 10:18:41 GMT

THE HEATWAVE HAS ARRIVED and it's not from the sun BUT FROM EXO PLANET (sorry). EXO are finally back with their new album Don’t Fight the Feeling and they’re giving us the summer EXOllence we deserve to EXOficially kick off summer! We were so EXOcited about them being back (promise that’s it for the puns) that we dedicated this week's episode to it… honestly it’s just us being overly excited about the comeback and needing an outlet to talk about it so sit back, get comfy, and DON’T FIGHT THE FEELING!!!!!

Wed, 02 Jun 2021 21:15:56 GMT

It's time for another recap to what seemed to be a busy month but turned out to be the absolute complete opposite! KPOP really said "we gon' rest in May", but we still did try to bring you all the main news stories and comebacks from the Month! And of course, we end it with our usual monthly recommendations however we completely struggled with this BECAUSE THE COMEBACKS IN MAY WERE EXQUISITE and ended up mentioning a lot more than we intended to... which is nothing unusual for us *sigh* ENJOY!!

**TW FOOD: We start the episode with a little Mukbang and food review of the new McDonald's BTS Meal and give you our real and honest opinion, so if you want to get straight into the recap skip to 5:40!
