This is the intro jingle. This is the K-pop dev outro with Eric Nam.

Ooh.

What's up guys? How are you? Welcome to the K-pop dev outro. I'm your host Eric Nam and I hope you guys are doing well.

Welcome to the show. This is a Thursday episode, the midweek update episode where I just kind of talk about whatever I want to talk about.

So that's what this episode is. It's just me and you time. It's just you and me.

We're just chilling and we're just thinking good thoughts and we talk about life. So welcome to the show.

If you're a first time listener, thanks for joining us. If you're not, welcome back. Glad to have you.

stuff in the world is the way it is right now. But all things considered, I still take a step back

and I say, yeah, still, I should be thankful and I should know that I'm blessed and that I should

smile. Right? Just smile. If you smile, I swear it makes you feel better and it releases endorphins.

I think it's endorphins, right? Like the chemical in your brain that makes you happy.

Yeah, let's just release some of this. Just smile. I don't, it's just me. When I say endorphins,

I always think of dolphins. Maybe it's just the way it's spelled endorphins and dolphins.
