Episode 29: Kpop and Kayfabe

Kpop and professional wrestling have more in common than you would think. I bring on a pro wrestling fan friend to discuss Kpop, Kayfabe, and what happens when an wrestler does a repackage. We also touch on the sad passing of Kimura Hana and the way we can lose sight of the person behind the persona. The video my friend references as a good introduction: https://youtu.be/BQCPj-bGYro please enjoy!

In this episode, I bring on my buddy Denis, who is a professional wrestling fan, to discuss kayfabe and other similarities between Kpop and professional wrestling. Learn the difference between a wrestling repackage and a Kpop repackage and more!

I’ve been a fan of Asian pop culture for over 20 years and want to help bridge the gap between East and West. There is a lot of informal (and formal) gatekeeping that goes on and I’d like to help new fans break through the gates.
