The Summer House scandal, and a bittersweet K-Pop shakeup
About this episode
Summer House is a reality show set in the Hamptons that’s been full of drama for 10 seasons. But the scandal happening off screen is what has got fans more invested than ever. Maybe too invested? Culture critics Ashley Ray and Chris Murphy join Commotion guest host Amil Niazi to talk about what’s happening, and what it says about this moment in reality television.
Plus, Mark Lee, a member of the K-Pop group NCT, recently announced he would be leaving the group and his label SM Entertainment after 10 years. Culture writer Lucy Ford talks with guest host Amil Niazi about why Mark’s exit is bombshell news for K-Pop fans.
