Stephanie and PD-nim kick off with two weekly hit replays before moving into the main event: a head-to-head look at Blackpink’s four recent solo releases. They use the songs to ask a bigger question about what success means for Blackpink now, especially as the group marks 10 years and each member keeps expanding beyond music.
In this episode: Close Your Eyes’ jazz fusion track impressed Stephanie for its real instrumentation, contemporary jazz choreography, and producer credits that led her to Agui, and Kim Yohan
