Episode Synopsis

This week on Broken Cycles, we dive into the resurfacing issue of cultural insensitivity in K-pop, spotlighting recent controversies involving Kiss of Life and BLACKPINK. In 2025, the world is more connected than ever—so why does respect still lag behind recognition? We explore how Black culture continues to be the blueprint for global trends, yet remains disrespected, misrepresented, and erased in the process. From music to fashion to mannerisms, it's not just about being inspired—it’s about giving credit, honoring the origin, and showing up with real understanding. No more excuses. No more selective admiration.
