2024 Year End News + Favorite Moments

Happy New Years, Fellow Carats! After a brief hiatus, I am back with news and updates from Caratland. During this episode, I catch up on the big year-end news for Seventeen, including awards, chart records, and comebacks. I reveal my Spotify Wrapped results. Then I discuss my own personal favorite appearance or performance for each member from 2024.

Seventeen Right Here - San Antonio Concert Update

Breaking in with a special report about my first ever Seventeen Concert experience (and my first ever Kpop concert experience)! It was as amazing and incredible as I hoped it would be. In this episode, I break down my experiences at both San Antonio concerts as well as share some things that led me to be star-struck by Seventeen once again. Ultimately, it should be no surprise though that after witnessing their charm and charisma in person, I realize yet again why Seventeen are global superstars both talent-wise and personality-wise. (BTW, my next regular episode will be coming later this week!)

Beautiful Monster - A Tribute to Jeonghan

There are only a few more days until Seventeen's 12th Mini-Album "Spill the Feels" is released! In this episode, I break down what we know about this comeback from the teasers and trailers and set-list. I also discuss my take on the controversy regarding Seventeen's collaboration with D.J. Khaled. Then I review the latest news and schedules and favorite moments for each member. Finally, in honor of Jeonghan's military enlistment on September 26, I spend some time sharing some lessons I have learned from Jeonghan. Although it's only been a few weeks, I, for one, already miss him so much!

A Close Look at "Kidult"

Welcome back! I am so excited to chat with you all about the upcoming album! I will discuss the teaser and the concept photos. I will also share my experiences buying tickets for the upcoming Concert, lament over the heartbreaking (but not entirely unexpected) news about Jeonghan's enlistment, and rave about Seventeen's incredible Lollapalooza Berlin appearance. I will also due a deep dive into the song "Kidult" and the powerful message it shares about taking care of your inner child. Whether you are a baby Carat or have loved Seventeen since before they debut'ed, I hope you will join me!
