Hello everybody!
I am overwhelmed with pride and joy! My “Podcasters’ Wrapped” data has arrived, and 2022 has been MASSIVE for 17 Carat K-Pop!
In 2021, 17 Carat K-Pop’s audience spanned 43 countries. In 2022, that number rose to 50!
The number of 17 Carat K-Pop subscribers has, fittingly, risen by 17%!
My podcast is in the top 10% of shows with the most shares globally in 2022!
With your continued support in 2023 and beyond, I will keep on releasing podcast episodes and writing that:
Cover the wonderful world of K-pop with the care and attention it deserves
Give artists a voice through interviews that prioritize their personal stories over “Gotcha” questions
Highlight the best new K-pop, J-pop, C-pop, and T-pop releases and provide the thoughtful commentary about them they deserve
Give shine over shade, proving that there is an audience for K-pop coverage that is in-depth instead of focused on clickbait and gossip
Although my work is a labor of love, let’s not forget the “labor” part!
My “Wrapped” data revealed that I have released 3,376 minutes of new content so far this year, which is more than 97% of other creators in my podcast category
I typically spend 10 hours or more on my show/site/newsletter per day
My only PR help comes from listeners and readers like you
If you appreciate my massive amount of work, please consider supporting it financially:
You can become a paying subscriber to my podcast here for as low as $0.99/month
You can become a paying subscriber to my Substack here for less than $5/month (and by doing so, you gain access to bonus posts that include “cheat sheets” to artist-specific episodes and weekly roundups of things to brighten your day!)
You can see free versions of some typically-paywalled posts before deciding to go paid
Every stream and share helps me financially as well, so please keep on spreading the word if you are unable to give right now!

Thank you so much for your invaluable support, and stay tuned for much more from 17 Carat K-Pop!
Hope
