YUNJIN is a K-pop star with a dedicated global following, while Fan has cultivated a large audience through her humor and commentary on internet culture for over a decade. Despite their different backgrounds, the two share a mutual fandom, with YUNJIN subscribing to Fan's channel for years and Fan being an enthusiastic supporter of LE SSERAFIM's fandom, FEARNOT.\n\nDuring Spotify's Show Notes recording, YUNJIN and Fan explore podcasting, creative expression, and building fandoms. They both emphasize the importance of authenticity and trust in connecting with their audiences, warning against catering to external expectations. YUNJIN, who recently moved into podcasting with her personal show HMM, hopes to create an intimate relationship with fans through conversation, reflecting on her experiences and feelings. Fan, an active K-pop fan, highlights the strong connections K-pop artists build through interaction and direct engagement with their fans.",
