Grammy-winning songwriter and producer Derrick Milano joins host Angel on K-ALL to reveal how a secret Los Angeles studio session with BLACKPINK's Jennie and Lisa unexpectedly paved the way for him to co-write six massive hits on BTS's monumental return album, ARIRANG. In this exclusive deep dive, Derrick takes us completely behind the scenes of his work with both powerhouse groups. He breaks down the precise moment Big Hit's A&R team heard his work for Jennie and asked the ultimate question: "Do you have anything for BTS?" Derrick pulls back the curtain on the creative process behind the Billboard Hot 100 #1 hit "Swim," the hard-hitting anthem "Hooligan," and the out-of-this-world track "Aliens." He shares what it’s really like to be in the studio with RM, j-hope, Jung Kook, and legendary producer Pdogg. From playing the exact moment his raw vocal ad-libs were kept in "Merry Go Round" with SUGA to detailing BTS's strict studio lunch rules and unwavering humility right out of the military, this interview is packed with untold stories every music fan needs to hear.

In this exclusive K-ALL interview, Angel sits down with the rising global Japanese group ONE OR EIGHT right before their sold-out show at Racket NYC! The multi-talented members—Neo, Ryota, Tsubasa, Reia, Mizuki, Yuga, Souma, and Takeru—open up about their challenging survival show roots, their intense training period in Korea, and the deep meaning behind their "all or nothing" name. We dive deep into their musical roots, including naming BTS, Michael Jackson, and ONE OK ROCK as their ultimate performance inspirations. The group also breaks down what it was really like working with legendary choreographer Nick Joseph on their debut track "Don't Tell Nobody." Plus, the group shares the wild story behind their track "KAWASAKI" with Big Sean (including a surprise appearance from his dad on set) , the viral success of their "Tokyo Drift" sample , and their massive future dreams—from selling out Zepp tours to headlining the NFL Super Bowl halftime show!

From Bad Bunny to Bangtan Sonyeondan (BTS), Ricky (NITTI MUSIC) is redefining what it means to be a global producer. Fresh off the success of BTS’s ARIRANG, Ricky sits down with Angel to discuss the three Billboard Hot 100-charting tracks that changed everything. This episode explores the eclectic production of “FYA,” the soul-searching “One More Night,” and the cinematic finale “Into The Sun.” But the story behind the interview is just as remarkable: a K-ALL Reel about BTS’s connection to gospel music bridged the gap between Angel and Ricky, leading to a profound conversation on faith, creativity, and the “insane” talent of the BTS members. Dive into stories of Flume’s experimental stems, V’s natural “band-mate” energy, and the hidden “vocals” Jimin left behind in an unreleased ARIRANG track. We also discuss the emotional impact of seeing 50,000 fans in Mexico City sing BTS’s tracks a cappella and how Ricky’s personal faith journey became the foundation for his success. #BTS #ARIRANG Learn more about your ad choices.

In this incredibly special episode, Grammy-winning producer Frankie Biggz joins us for a deep dive into the world of Big Ocean and their brand-new album, "The Greatest Battle." But this isn’t just a reaction; it’s a story of destiny. "I was deaf growing up, too." Frankie Biggz opens up about his personal journey with hearing loss and why producing for the world's first Sign Language K-pop group is a full-circle moment for his career. We explore the moving connection between BTS and Big Ocean, specifically how a donation from RM (Namjoon) to the Seoul Samsung School for the Deaf inspired member Jiseok to pursue music when he was just a student. Now, as Big Ocean valiantly returns with "The Greatest Battle," we analyze their hits "Alive," "One Man Army," "Back," and "Cold Moon" from a professional production standpoint.
