Welcome to GET REAL with Peniel, BM, and Ashley Choi!
It's happening!! Welcome to the very first episode of GET REAL with our hosts Peniel (of BTOB), BM (of KARD), and Ashley Choi. We're kicking things off by talking about going solo ---oh wait, not like that. We mean going off on your own as a real adult and living away from family for the first time ever. Our hosts talk the big jump to Korea, drama in the dorms as trainees, and the reason why Ashley now walks around with pepper spray.
What's that burning smell? Oh, it's just our hearts burning for true love. Well, not quite "love" but intense like. Yup, we're talking crushes. We're talking that flirty flirt. We're talking looking like idiots trying to impress our one and onlys. But we got your back with some advice on how to deal, so tune in real nice.
We're exposing them no good CHEATERS in this episode. More than that, our hosts delve into what lines are drawn in relationships, how far emotional cheating can go, and what to do if your partner refuses to wear the hat you made him on Animal Crossing! Ugh! Karma will take care of all.
On this week's episode,our hosts relive the struggle for that paycheck before their debuts and side gigs that helped them make their way.And then there's Peniel who just jumped straight into it from high school.Everyone's journey is different and that's beautiful!
Alright, spill. You've probably gossiped here and there whether it was the smartest decision or not. In this week's episode, our hosts talk the art of discretion in information sharing, how to confront people who talk behind your back, and just how trustworthy all the rumors about celebrities really isn't. Don't believe everything you hear!
We've talked a lot about love and heartache on the show so far but what about non-romantic relationships? Friends can sometimes be as close to us as family. Our hosts talk about blocking out fake friends, finding real ones, and the tough roadblocks in maintaining friendships as we get older and more busy.
As people constantly in the public eye, our hosts have to be hyper aware of their image and all the criticism that may come with it. How has that affected their self-esteem? What were the shocking beauty differences they noticed coming to Seoul? And at the end, what actually matters? Join the conversation and hear their thoughts on their idea versus society's idea of "beauty".
SPACE! ALIENS! WATCHING DOCUMENTARIES AT 3 AM. During the first shoot ever, BM told producers he wanted to talk about aliens. And as we are a very collaborative and open studio, we've allowed it. Let's see if we, along with Peniel and Ashley, regret that brave choice. Also, what's your sign?
Pressure can come from all sides of life: work, family, friends, self, relationships, and like literal gravity. How do our hosts deal with these pressures and which ones get to them the most? Also, Eric Nam is here. Why? Don't ask why stop pressuring us!!!!!
Who knew life could go from choosing your MySpace outline to joining the latest Tik Tok trend nonetheless it being many peoples' jobs? Our hosts discuss how their relationship with social media has evolved over the years. It's tricky to find the balance between keeping it up for their careers and taking a step back to live in the real world, too.
The average American student spends anywhere from 6 to 8 hours a day at school for at least 12 years. That's a lot of life lived in those old lineouleum hallways! Our hosts reflect on those old days and share what type of student they were before becoming full-time idols.
Rapper pH-1 (H1GHR) grabs a seat at the table with Ashley and BM to share what keeps him creative when writers' block comes up time to time. He also talks about his process and involvement on H1GHR MUSIC's new compilation album "BLUE TAPE" which releases September 16th. They get deep, silly, and maybe even a little inspired.
pH-1 is back again to share how he saves and spends his own coin. It may be a complicated subject but it's an important one that can either make our life easier or harder. And don't let those Balenciaga sneakers tempt you!!
When was the last time you called up your family and told them you love them? Maybe after this, you'll hit them up. pH-1 is back one more time with BM and Ashley to talk about their families, how they take care of each other, and finally say it out loud that they love them :') Ashley cries.
Ashley, Penelope, and Big Matilda welcome a new addition to their sleepover: Joan Kim! Also known as "joanday" on her vlog channel, Joan is an exemplary creative that has turned her passions into great business ventures. What were the steps that got her there and what are the downsides of the hustle?
Finally! Joan Kim is back and ready to gab with the hosts all about the wonderful life and friendship of ~girls~. But not without the struggles that come with it, too. Let's get into formation and into the discussion!
Solo artist Maddox joins the table in this week's episode to talk about pop culture, past and present, and who he considers his influences. And what do our hosts think about their own place in pop culture and their impact?
Solo artist NIve (니브) joins us to discuss about fears both rational and not so quite. What spooked us the most as kids and have we ever had a run-in with a ghost? What haunts us now as adults and what are we so afraid to lose? Listen to hear us talk it out.
The gang is back to just the three of them again to talk about how they keep themselves healthy both physically and mentally. When does it get hard to stay fit and how do they try and overcome it? They share some tips and what they've learned along the way. Stretch and let's gooo.
This episode is about role models: who are they for us and why are we considered role models for others? Sometimes it's a public figure with a way of life worth admiring. Or it's someone close that gives us direct guidance. All in all, we tend to look outward in order to work inward! Ward.
This is Get Real's first ever Korean-language episode and it's with none other than sogumm (AOMG)! sogumm, known for her unique sound and aesthetic, joins BM and Ashley for a conversation on style. She absolutely blows us away with how she approaches everything from her art to even her critics. A really refreshing episode that had BM reeling for days after.
This week we're grateful for our guest! At last, Sam Kim is at DIVE Studios to talk with Ashley and BM about what he's been up to and grateful for during his time making music. We also find out he should probably hurry up and catch up with his siblings, too.
Sam Kim is back with Ashley and BM to kick off the holidays post-Thanksgiving. But it's not always all merry and cheer; it's been a hard and lonely year for many. The three of them discuss the pressures of the holiday season and how they get through the stress of being away from loved ones while working into the New Year.
Insightful artists and dear friends of the hosts, Corbyn and LXX, from 28LABORATORY join the table for some guy talk...with Ashley, too. They reflect on their influences growing up as young men and how if anything, being true to who you really are is the best way to go about life regardless of gender identity.
28LABORATORY is back but this time with Michael, the founder, and LXX. We’re in the prime season of gift-giving and receiving. It’s a delicate social game that has some spoken and unspoken rules. So how do we play it?
2020. It’s been one crazy year. 28LABORATORY's Michael and Corbyn are back to compare what their expectations and goals were for the year and how it *actually* fared out. It wasn’t ALL bad was it?!
Good friend and now basically spiritual brother of the podcast, pH-1, is back again to open up about his experiences with faith and spirituality! How has being raised in the Korean-American Christian community impacted not just our moral compass but our art? It apparently means less cursing.
Yes, we know you all love pH-1's "Harry Situations" that he throws at our hosts to see how they'd confront or deal with potential odd life scenarios. Well, we put them all to the test with a special episode where he and our hosts discuss *your* situations that you've shared with us on our Discord. Letsgetit.
Canadian-Korean solo artist JUNNY (주니) is in the studio with our hosts to talk about one of the most pivotal decades of life: their 20s. Not quite a kid but not feeling quite like the adults we all imagined we'd be by now. How do they feel about their 20s so far and where do they see themselves even into their 30s?
This special episode plays on the popular YouTube "Firsts Challenge" where we talk about all our life's firsts such as first time performing, coming to Korea, and....kiss?! JUNNY (주니) is also back again as guest to walk on memory lane with our hosts.
We're talking drama. No, we don’t mean our beloved K-dramas. This is about when people start beef with each other in real life. Sure we all want to stay out of it but sometimes we get pulled in. So how do we cope?
Oooh, you feel that? Love is in the air. Or it might just be some dust depending on your relationship status. In this episode, guest Jamie joins the sleepover to talk about how we express feelings through gestures (if we do at all) and what we really think counts as a true romantic.
The one and only Jackson Wang has come through to DIVE Studios to talk everything and more about what he's been up to, what he's working so hard for, and to reminisce on the ups and downs of his K-Pop years.
In a growing world of “influencers” and public figures who try to stay relevant to a mass audience, how has this idea of “clout” impacted people’s behavior and the way they enter social circles? Watch out for them chasers! Jamie is back to chime in with her thoughts.
Jamie is back again to address haters. There’s no way around it: there will always be people who wanna bring you down especially when you’re on the way up. Maybe we even catch ourselves at times acting or talking a little shady. Why do we think people like to hate so much and what do we have to say back to them?
Joan Kim is back to Get Real! She's here to talk not just about the importance and practices of self-care but about her new show "Beauty Bar" with Stefanie Michova. “Self-care” demonstrates our need to take care of not just the physical, but also the mind, as stress will always be a factor in life. So how do we best take care of ourselves?
Model and producer Leah Kim Thompson joins the sleepover to look back on growing up in both Florida and uniquely on a US military base in Seoul. What is our earliest memory and what are some things that have stayed with us into our adult life? As childhood becomes a more distant past, what are some things we miss or make us nostalgic for “the old days”?
Model and producer Leah Kim is back to talk about how life opens doors but it may not lead you down the path you once thought it would. From SNL and signing onto a big modeling agency in NYC, Leah and the hosts discuss when high expectations don't quite match up with reality.
Not all mothers are the same: some work, some stay home, or some aren’t biologically our moms but give the same care and love as any other. Not all families are built the same whether through blood or bond, but we’re grateful for them all the same. This is a celebration of our mothers not just for who they are to us but for who they are as individuals.
UC Berkeley grad Joan Kim is back to talk about her experience and lessons learned from her time in university. College isn’t the be all, end all for a great life but higher education is a big part of many peoples’ lives. Did we feel like we learned anything useful? And is it worth all the stress?
Ashley, BM, and Joan Kim are on their own in this episode to go through some questions listeners asked us on the DIVE Studios’ Discord that we couldn’t quite get around to in the past episodes. From how to make connections in a new city to drama from eating too much of a party sandwich, our hosts try their best to come up with sage solutions.
Prince of GHOST9 is here to give these oldies some fresh perspective because they’re talking MILLENNIALS vs GEN Z. You might’ve heard trash-talking on boomers, zoomers, and basically anyone who dares to be born. But is the generation gap really that wide? Let’s try to find some common ground.
"Branding" is a very prevalent concept, especially for entertainers. Sometimes the industry or even fans want the artist to have a certain image which may or may not clash with how the artist wants to present themself. What are certain decisions we’ve made for our “brand” and what was put on us that we embraced?
In this episode, we’re shouting out our DADS. Some are silent, some make bad jokes, or they’re both. Today, we talk specifically about our fathers and the roles they had in our lives along with who they were before family.
In today’s episode, we’re talking about K-Pop. Why? Because our guest, Han Heejun, said he wanted to, mainly. Back in the early 2000s, the term ‘K-Pop’ wasn’t even familiar to Koreans. During the past decade, the industry has shown rapid growth. But where do we go from here?
What a season! A lot of amazing artists and people have sat down at the table to chat with BM, Peniel, and Ashley. So with that in mind, these are just SOME of the producer and hosts' favorite guest moments from Season 1 of Get Real (not in chronological order). Do these match up with your favorite moments as well?
Get Real Season 1 simply started with three colleagues sitting together on a couch. Although they've been friends for years, we've had moments where they still learned new things about each other while also reminiscing on the old days. What were your favorite moments with Ashley, Big Matilda, and Penelope?
Welcome to a special collection featuring some of our hosts' favorite mail time submissions from both listeners and those looking for help online. We're not professionals but hopefully hearing different perspectives offered a fresh take on your problems!
Ashley sits down with Producer Diane to catch up what she's been up to during the show's break and her thoughts on the past year of "Get Real". Also, some teasers on what may or may not come with Season 2!
Season 2 of Get Real is officially back in session! We welcome our new host, JUNNY, and chat about how we have or have not changed since high school with Korea-based American actress Carson Allen (Netflix's "So Not Worth It").
We can all relate to a time when jealousy may have gotten the better of us. How do we deal with jealous people or if we're jealous ourselves, avoid crossing the line into toxic behavior? The Rose's WOOSUNG joins the conversation and he's got some words...
Sometimes on our way up in life, haters whether real people in our life or strangers online will try to bring us back down. Are we able to forgive and forget in order to leave it all in the past? Or is it not so easy? H1GHR MUSIC's new artist JMIN, perhaps the chillest guest ever, helps us let go and leave that friend Snapchat group.
At last, our dear friend pH-1 has graced the show with his presence for the first time in Season 2. But it's been awhile so there might be some awkwardness before things get warmed up! In this episode, we're chatting about daily awkward occurrences and how to best deal with them with or without social grace.
무대위에서는 카리스마 넘치는 힙합가수인데 무대에서 내려오면 차분한 사람인 로꼬는 인기에 관련된 의견과 경험에 대해서 이야기를 했습니다. 고등학교때 인기가있었나요? (스포일러: 인기있었습니다.) 떠오르는 아티스트에게 인기가 나쁜 영향을 미칠 수 있을까요? (스포일러: 그럴 수 있습니다.) 에피소드를 들어보시면 로꼬가 얼마나 괜찮은 사람인지 알게 될겁니다! (스포일러: 성격이 정말 좋습니다.)
Who doesn't love a good party? Actually, a lot of people. And it's been a while since we've been to one considering the past couple of years ????. In this episode, our hosts and pH-1 discuss party culture, messy clubs, and the pressure of family gatherings.
BM is here! He finally stopped by to check out the new set, give JUNNY a performance review, and spill some real tea on spotting out who you can really trust in the music industry. We're thankful he could make the time before heading off to...Paris Fashion Week?! Big Matthew making Big Moves.
ARON (of NU'EST) hangs with his old friend Peniel and meets two new friends, Ashley and JUNNY, to talk about what it actually means to be kind and real-life examples such as a chance encounter with South Korea's most famous entertainer, Yoo Jae Suk. Are kind gestures sincere or a mask for someone waiting to get someting in return? Let's figure it out together.
Prolific music producer and solo artist, Chancellor, takes a seat for JUNNY's last episode with us as co-host of this first half of Season 2. We're sad to see him go but we're happy for the times we had while he was here. We then talk to Chancellor about his new music (possibly the best of his career?), meeting Bruno Mars before he got big, and how taking a step back from work can give us much-needed perspective.
Boo! Scared ya, huh? Stefanie Michova, host of Beauty Bar, is here to talk about her favorite time of the year: Halloween! From trick or treating to holy ragers at church, we talk about our own experiences with the spooky holiday. And best yet, pH-1 has come on board as official host of Get Real (for rest of Season 2) and he has a LOT of opinions about candy. More than you'd think...
Tablo of Epik High crashes Get Real to offer wisdom about the importance of school, the fact that parents don't really know anything, and how true intelligence is measured. If you are pursuing a nontraditional career or passion and have a deep love-hate relationship with Calculus, this is surely the episode for you. But all are welcome to listen and have a good time! But seriously, Calculus tho...
