Is she...you know...the "F" word? (Or what even is accountability anymore?)

----

This week, Jade and Leslie take a look into K-pop idol Irene's recent gapjil (bullying or power harrassment) scandal and take a deep dive into popular discussions about "accountability" and fandom.What do people think "taking accountability" looks like in the age of Web 2.0 parasociality? Why is it important for fans that Irene "take accountability?" 

Playlist: New, sort of indie, CanCon. (Can you spot what the playlist spells out?)
