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

HOW WE FEELIN OUT THERE? APN, PRESENT!!! 🫡 Not me quoting songs two podcast episode captions back to back. This week Denise and Annabella talk about their experience at the In Your Fantasy tour at Rod Laver arena and give you a quick run down on the iconic group, ATEEZ. They also both gush over the representation in Bridgerton S4 🏰 and the adorable new starters in the upcoming Pokemon: Wind and Waves 🦎🦉🐕. As well as a commentary on the "You met me at a very Chinese time in my life" trend...

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...

Going back to ZEROBASE before starting my new era: Year of the Fire Horse

L!FE is a Melbourne-based Filipino songwriter and producer, whose music combines hip-hop, rock and pop styles, with honest lyrics about, well, life! All its highs, all its lows and what it is like to be a human and alive.

A week prior, APN attended L!FE's release party for his new EP 'I'm a Human Being' and fell in love with his energetic hip-hop beats you couldn't resist head bopping to, and infectious stage presence. We were so grateful to be able to talk to him live in the studio and hear him perform his song 'Show Me What You Got' (which he definitely did!).
