I'm Ashley, and I'm the host of an album a Day, a podcast committed to taking you through over 30 years of south korean pop music history. It's fact based and opinionated commentary, and we are the blueprint. Get into it by checking it out on the alive podcast network. My name is Ashley, and this is an album a day, an english language podcast promoting commentary on south korean pop music. This podcast covers mainstream indie and some underground artists within the scene and provides both factual and opinionated K pop commentary. The biggest benefit to sharing my thoughts this way is that it will hopefully expose you to more great music and exploration of your own. Believe it or not, I recorded this episode once before it was compromised by an audio issue, so it was rather redundant in my head when I was listening to the album again, and I'm like, I know I did this. We're going to talk about those audio issues.

You're probably experiencing one right now and the wonderful way that it's being resolved. We'll get into that. And the continuation of Apink's discography right after the drop into an album a day show start. Last episode was, what? July 22. Me losing every fiber of my being over 21. I did not get those concert tickets. Probably to some of y'all. That was absolutely no shock.

Honestly, watching everything fly off of the virtual shelves, so to speak, when I was on enter park was very exciting. They apparently have had another date added to their. Their global tour. And hey, you ever. This is a side note. You've ever noticed that you'll see something that says world tour for a K pop artist and the world is Korea and Japan and perhaps another asian nation. World tour is the world of Asia. Global tour is when they actually leave the country and go on a tour.

I noticed the difference when YG was promoting marketing details and it said Blackpink has near comeback. They just celebrated one of their anniversaries and it said global tour for 21 only, but world tour for them. And I'm like, ah, now does that make sense? Mmm. Yes and no. As a North American, when we say world tour, we mean the world. But, you know, it is what it is. Maybe you had been wondering. I just wanted to give you some context to that.

Okay, so that was the last episode. But before that, the last time we talked about a pink was super long ago, super duper long ago. And there's a high possibility, high probability that I shoved this apink episode somewhere in the queue to post and it just never came to fruition. There's a high probability of always having some audio issue when you're not recording from an appropriate studio. Now, I know anybody can make a podcast and all that jazz, but the quality of the sound is very important to me and it's been trash ever since I came back after my long hiatus. But that is soon to be resolved thanks to the contributions of my Patreon patrons. Because of them, I have reached a milestone that I didn't anticipate reaching. But I have enough patrons now to be able to physically go and book 1 hour of podcast time.

That's really, really cool. It's in a studio. The studio also does video, so my episodes are what, five to seven minutes long? On any given upload, I'm able to record multiple episodes at once, as well as get video for behind the scenes to share on my Patreon. This is something that we've been waiting on for a long time. Embarrassingly, I must admit, longer than than I thought it would take. But if you at any point heard a little dog bark while I was recording, I can't record at home. I've mentioned it to y'all before. Mentioned it to y'all before.

That is a problem when you speak too fast. But yeah, it's a resolve. It will begin later this month, no later than the midpoint of the month of September. Super excited about giving y'all way better content and really getting to this better because I'll be done with grad school. I will be done. And I will be taking a picture of my graduation cap and gown for y'all to see that I did, in fact, put I am the best on there. I'll upload my graduation photo shoot as soon as the pictures come back to my, I guess to my Instagram and my Facebook. So a three day podcast is the links for that.
