fanSERVice Podcast, hosted by Daio and Adia, is a show to talk all things music, art, culture, history, and, yes, KPOP! Join us fangirls as we laugh, learn, and get real all while expressing our love and appreciation of Black and Asian art forms. Here, we hope to give a safe, open space to fellow art lovers and hope to better highlight all that connects us. So.. you wanna join the fandom?
In this episode (filmed in August and still very relevant), Daio and Adia sit down as fans before the BTS concert to discuss the fallout, backlash, and hate following their most recent controversy. As is spoken in the episode, Blackness is not a monolith, opinions vary, and responses can go in the wrong direction. Respectful input that moves the conversation and space to express your feelings should be the norm. This situation is nuanced, especially with Black ARMY, and should be seen as such. Note: Please forgive the audio, as this was filmed remotely in Chicago.Follow us on:Instagram: instagram.com/fanservice_podTwitter: twitter.com/fanSERVice_podTikTok: tiktok.com/@fanservice.podcasThreads: threads.com/fanservice_podCOPYRIGHTS: FAIR USE, Title 17, US Code (Sections 107-118 of the copyright law): All media in this video is used for purpose of review & commentary under terms of fair use.
