SojuTalk Kpop Podcast

Hosted by SojuTalk Kpop

A weekly K-pop roundtable where three American fans debate new music releases, cover industry news, and rate songs on a 10-point 'Soju Score'.

The brief

This is a weekly, long-form audio and video podcast where three recurring hosts deliver structured reviews of new K-pop songs and a roundup of industry news. The hosts (Doug, Warren, and Anita) have distinct personalities and frequently engage in passionate, friendly debates over song quality and artist trajectories. A key feature is their 'Soju Score' system, where each host rates a song out of 10, with high-scoring tracks entering the 'Hall of Spice'.

The show's 'Soju Score' and 'Hall of Spice' segments provide a unique, recurring structure for evaluating music that both the hosts and their community engage with. Unlike more journalistic podcasts, SojuTalk's strength is the hosts' unfiltered, often spicy takes and the friendly but pointed disagreements that arise between them.
