Through their mixtape efforts throughout 2017, they not only brought acclaim to themselves as emerging creatives within the music industry but also as songwriting and production force within their larger group, STRAY KIDS. 3RACHA is the first group or sub-unit featured on the podcast with only mixtapes compiling their discography.

Get your “awws” and “uwu” feelings in order because Ashley’s beloved girl group debuts on the show. The biography presented here is directly referenced from Wikipedia: “2NE1 was a South Korean girl group composed of Bom, CL, Dara, and Minzy, formed by YG Entertainment in 2009. After appearing alongside boy band Big Bang in the song 'Lollipop', a promotional single for LG Electronics, the group rose to fame with the release of their two eponymous extended plays, 2NE1 (2009) and 2NE1 (2011), and two studio albums, To Anyone (2010) and Crush (2014). All peaked at the number one position on the Gaon Album Chart.”.

In this episode, we become familiar with OST mainstays 2NB. 2NB (Korean: 투앤비) is a South Korean R&B duo formed by Friday Entertainment in 2006. The duo consisted of Heo Solji and Kim Song-yi. They released their debut single 'The First Fragrance' on March 31, 2006. The group disbanded in 2012. Shortly afterward, Heo Solji became the main singer of the girl group EXID, which debuted that same year. Also, Kim Song-yi became the lead singer of the girl group Blady, which was in 2015.

In 2016, 2NB came back with two new members Son Yoo-na and Kim Hyo-jin. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2NB.

Nostalgia gets a hold on Ashley as she weaves in and out of fangirling and quality commentary on 2PM. 2PM (Korean: 투피엠) is a South Korean boy group that currently consists of members Jun. K, Nichkhun, Taecyeon, Wooyoung, Junho and Chansung.

Originally part of the eleven-member boy band One Day, this subgroup brought energy and 'jimseung-dol' (jimseung means an 'animal' or 'beast' in Korean) like no other onto the scene. In fact, the demand for what they brought to the table during their 2008 - 2009 debut is reflected in the 110,000+ copies of this album sold in Korea.
