Prepare to get that song out of your head and into the open as Sarah and DJ Panic, share our current musical obsessions including the unstoppable "El tiki tiki".  We're also raising our glasses to celebrate the overwhelming response to our "Travis Japan: Hollywood TJ Dream" episode, which has opened the doors to a whole new wave of listeners. Join us on this melodious voyage, where we'll discuss not just the tunes that keep our feet tapping, but also the incredible impact these Asian artists have on our listeners from around the globe.

Ever wonder about the faces behind the microphones? Look no further! Today, we're showering gratitude on you, our listeners, for boosting our podcast's rating and engaging with us through Spotify's Q&As.

But that's not all – we're also scratching our heads at the quirks of music streaming platforms, pondering the mysteries behind our personalized playlists, and taking a trip down memory lane with some synth-pop classics.

Ever wondered about the unspoken dynamics within the iconic K-pop band, BTS? Today, we are here to spill the tea. We’re peeling back the curtain on BTS's high-profile solo activities and promotions, and how BTS has been strategically promoting their projects on Weverse. Grab your headphones, because things are about to get interesting.

Hold tight, we're also taking you on a ride through the mystical world of dreams and their interpretations. How did Sarah’s bizarre dream eerily mirror her real-life allergic reaction? We're dissecting that, along with the symbolism of colors in dreams, and the intriguing implications of dreams about receiving money and gift cards. But brace yourself, as we also venture into the realm of Astrology, exploring the hilarious concept of a 'villain phase' and its representation in our zodiac signs. You might just find out if you’re the Evil Queen or Maleficent in your own life's narrative.

Additionally, we're chatting about our recent developments, both on our platform and in the world of entertainment. We recap our latest interview with the SecondLady and the fun events they have lined up. Find out how Arashi is our time gauge, and so much more! So sit back, relax, and let us take you on a whirlwind tour of music, dreams, astrology, and all things entertainment in this jam-packed episode of Music Elixir.

Happy 6th birthday to the Blood, Sweat and Tears (2016). Join Lia and our favorite International Correspondent, Lexi, in unpacking the symbolism and Easter eggs found in BTS's iconic music video. Do people in your life ever dismiss your BTS love as supporting "some stupid boy band?" First, ew. You get to enjoy and celebrate WHATEVER brings you joy, friend. But secondly, while we love a surface-level banger like Butter...when the guys go deep, they tunnel into the depths of human duality and draw on influences from folks like Nobel-Prize winner Herman Hesse and the gnostic mystical concept of Abraxas. So if you ever want to "well, actually," a BTS naysayer, tune in and bulk up your argument.

Por fin luego de semanas separadas, las MC³ renacen como un ave fénix. Durante estos días desaparecidas, muchas cosas pasaron y una de esas fue ¡El lanzamiento del 1er álbum de J-Hope! "Jack in the box" nos dejó boca abiertas.
 
Chungha nuestra diosa del Olimpo, salió del sótano y ahora brilla igual que los cientos  de diamantes de su video "Sparkling", de su último trabajo "Bare&Rare pt1"

Como este es un mini especial de comebacks. ITZY también volvió a los escenarios con su último mini álbum "Checkmate", sin embargo, nos sentimos timadas  con su canción principal "Sneakers".

Super junior, nuestros tatitas del kpop, también nos deleitaron con su comeback "Mango"  siendo fiel a su estilo.

Tuvimos un montón de noticias:  La renovación de contrato de TWICE completito con JYP Entertainment. La plataforma Disney + confirmó que transmitirá el programa de BTS.  Y la noticia que nos tiene más alegres, la confirmación del comeback de Blackpink para Agosto. Luego de años esperando, por fin volveremos a ver a las chicas en escenarios coreanos.

Para nuestro tema central nos adentramos a todo el mundo tecnológico en el que vive la 4ta generación del kpop. El debut del grupo "SuperKind" nos deja atonitas ¿Cómo que uno de sus integrantes es virtual? ¿Qué nos parece esta nueva como que cada vez se hace más popular?

Y por último les contamos de que se tratan las cápsulas que hemos estado subiendo a nuestra plataforma.

Honestamente, no pudo ser mejor chingus, tal vez pensabas que ya nos habíamos tardado, pero es que, el mejor momento siempre está por llegar...    

¡Y esta vez llegó el momento de hablar de BTS! Que regresa con esta antología musical titulada: "PROOF" para rememorar y celebrar su historia. Haciéndonos bailar, cantar, y que nos emociona al recordarnos que a base de sangre, sudor y lágrimas han logrado a posicionarse como el grupo coreano de mayor expansión hoy día, llevando el nombre de Corea del Sur por todo el mundo. 

Acompáñanos a seguir corriendo con BTS por el camino de su trayectoria musical, pero no olvidemos que hacer pausa y respirar es necesario, para así recobrar la energía y seguir adelante para cantar hasta el amanecer.
