This week APN dropped it like hot, hot, hot, oh jigeum feeling so hot. No we did not play HOT by SEVENTEEN but we did talk all things Heated Rivalry - the hot new show generating lots of discussion and love, and Hotpot Bomb  - the hot new food product that claimed to be the 'first' of its kind...generating lots of discussion and hate. And finally, Annabella again makes the most of her solo time in the studio and yaps about her favourite neighbours, BOYNEXTDOOR and explains all about their lore/concept.

(7:54) Heated Rivalry and its Asian-ness (?) 🏒

(22:19) Logan "The Cucumber Guy" and Fly By Jing's Hotpot Bomb 💣 controversy

(33:20) WHO'S THERE? THE BOYNEXTDOOR 🩵🚪 !!! (their new live album is so good...)

It's getting hot in here...APN on Heated Rivalry and Hotpot Bomb Controversy

Hello and welcome back to Asian Pop Nation! The very first show of 2026, and the first of the Year of the Fire Horse 🐴🔥. Episode one meant only one person in the studio, your Executive Producer for 2026 - Annabella! She took many liberties this solo show to talk all things ZEROBASEONE before they d*sbanded and how much she loves member, Seok Matthew - who somehow healed her inner cultural identity crisis with learning her mother tongue. 

She also talks about the many songs she had lined up for that show to make up for lack of people, you can view the tracklist on our Instagram or listen to the APN 2026 S1 playlist here! 

(3:56) The ZEROBASEONE special <3 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

(23:20) Lunar New Year or Chinese New Year? Why are we still having this debate...
