Description

Just like we never thought we'd be into K-Pop, we never thought we'd be collecting photocards... yet here we are with multiple binders and an ever-growing need for sleeves and sheets to keep up with our weekly acquisitions.

We're here to answer questions including:
- What are the most common photocard sizes?
- What is the best way to protect photocards?
- How to spot fake photocards?
- What is a Lomo card? What does Lomo stand for?
And we're even bringing you a photocard tour!

As always, please forgive any mispronunciations!  
We hope you enjoyed this episode and our mix of Latin-based western observations! If you did, please don't forget to subscribe and leave us 5-star reviews wherever possible.

Your ticket from Miami to Seoul! ✈️ Hi guys! We are Kathy & Laura, and we’re big fans of everything K: KPop, KHipHop & R&B, KDramas, Webtoons, KFood, and the ins and outs of Korean culture that have made all of these things possible. We decided to start this podcast because we don’t have much hope of seeing our faves in SoFLo, and it’s getting expensive to travel around the country to find K-Acts. Basically, we're coming at you with bite-sized episodes to empower you all to become KFans to the fullest!
