In episode 45, Jay speaks with Anna Bondarenko, the owner of Naughty Muse Studios, a design studio and art café in Busan, South Korea. In this hour-long chat with Anna Bondarenko, we find out not only what it's like being an art space owner in Busan, and indeed about the artist community in that city, but also about Anna's life, her fondness for Korean culture, how she ended up in Busan and what it's like living as a foreigner in that seaside city of Busan.  It was actually Jay who approached Anna about conducting this interview, after seeing all the good she is doing in Busan - both locally in the Songjeong area of the Haeundae District & with other artistic indivuals across the city - and I was delighted when she agreed to sit down for a chat.[NOTE: As always, a version of this episode will also be available over on our fairly recently created @notsokoreanpodcast YouTube channel - please feel free to subscribe to that!]FURTHER INFODetails about subjects covered or touched on in this episode and recent ones can be found below.Ana Bondarenko:https://naughtymusestudios.com/https://www.facebook.com/NMuseStudioshttp://instagram.com/naughty.muse.studiosSewol:https://rememberingsewoluk.wordpress.comhttps://www.facebook.com/RememberingSewolUKhttps://www.instagram.com/sewol_uk/Jason Verney's "Reparation":http://www.Instagram.com/Reparation_Film (@Reparation_Film)https://www.imdb.com/name/nm6732314/https://youtu.be/UHr9fpvr7M4 (TRAILER)https://youtu.be/QOEy-VMs7nsMBF Podcast:https://linktr.ee/microbudgetfilmmakers[JASON and TIMOTHY's podcast episodes can ALSO be found in this PLAYLIST: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi-ZZE-1zF1M50lsEie0d_oqMm2Tq3i-J] #SEWOL #Busan #KoreanArtThe bulk of this episode was recorded on 30 January 2024 (in Busan, South Korea / Chiang Mai, Thailand)..The music featured in this show is by the wonderful Kaya:http://www.kaya-music.co.ukSHOW INFOThe Not So Korean Podcast with Jay & Tim is recorded live from New Malden, the UK and Europe's largest Koreatown.

In this half-festive and Easter episode (and our 43rd one!), Jay announces an almost spontaneous trip to South Korea, which will be his 10th visit to Korea in 12 years!Yes...

In this episode [no. 42], we speak with musician, dog lover and activist Annie Ko about South Korea's recent announcement to ban dog meat consumption and the existence of dog meat farms - of which there have been apparently 10.000+ in South Korea - and her experience & involvement with the various organisations which have been doing their best to raise awareness and rescue dogs from such farms.As a bit of background, in January 2024, South Korea passed a law which bans dog-meat & therefore the capture, killing and supplying & selling of dogs to consumers for eating. So, essentially, a ban on the production, sale & the torture which leads to the consumption of Dog-Meat.Annie explains about her experience of consuming dog meat, but also the origins of dog-meat and dog-eating in a once poverty stricken South korea and touches on the festival associated with dog-meat. We also chat about what can go on 'behind the scenes' of certain pet shops and pet owners in South Korea, the recent "Nureongi" documentary and its impact - a link to this documentary can be found below this description and Annie & Toby's beloved and rescued pet dog, Deejay!Although a lot is covered in this interview with Annie it is clear that one of her more recently found passions is one of caring for dogs, including their adopted "Deejay the Dog" and of course her love of music and continuing to be one part of the Seoul-based electric rock duo Love X Stereo.It's also clear that we've a long way to go in this world until we end cruelty across the board to living animals and sentient beings, but this focuses on man's - and woman's - best friends, DOGS![NOTE: As always, a version of this episode will also be available over on our fairly recently created @notsokoreanpodcast YouTube channel - please feel free to subscribe to that!]FURTHER INFODetails about subjects covered or touched on in this episode and recent ones can be found below.The Guardian article: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/jan/19/south-korea-dog-meat-ban The Humane Society:https://www.humanesociety.org/blog/korean-musician-who-adopted-meat-farm-dog-works-change-misconceptions-her-countryInternational: https://www.hsi.orgUSA: https://www.humanesociety.orgKorea: https://www.instagram.com/hsikorea/DoVE (Dogs of Violence Exposed):https://www.dove-project.org "NUREONGI" (full-length documentary film): https://youtu.be/KBfSiE3m_4Q?si=xmlYVvmoPUXlP5rJ Annie, Toby and Deejay / The Humane Society of the United States ("A visit to a dog meat farm changed their lives forever!”):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mx-FsDo4Iyg Related:https://worldanimalsvoice.com/2021/06/18/south-korea-annie-and-deejay-a-great-dog-meat-farm-rescue-story-also-support-hsi-to-stop-yulin/Love X Stereo:https://linktr.ee/lovexstereo[JASON and TIMOTHY's podcast episodes can ALSO be found in this PLAYLIST: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi-ZZE-1zF1M50lsEie0d_oqMm2Tq3i-J] #DogMeat #DoveProject #HumaneSocietyThe bulk of this episode was recorded by Jason Verney in February 2024 and whilst in Chiang Mai, Thailand.The music featured in this show is by the wonderful Kaya:http://www.kaya-music.co.ukSHOW INFOThe Not So Korean Podcast with Jay & Tim is recorded live from New Malden, the UK and Europe's largest Koreatown.

In this shorter episode, you'll hear from Jay and Tim, but also about Mark... that's Mark Kermode. You could even say that this episode [no. 40] features 3 film critics - Mark, Jay & Tim! Well, it's concerning Mark Kermode, the UK's most-loved film critic and about Korean film or Korean diaspora movies... but Jay also has a film review/interview website (MiniMiniMovie.com) AND Tim returns to our ears - after several episodes without him - and he too occasionally works on reviews related to Korean film.Essentially though, we chat about Mark Kermode's recent Top 5 films of 2023 and the 3 films which are included in his overall list of the best, which can also be heard in a recent episode of his and Simon Mayo's "Kermode & Mayo's Take" show. Can you guess which 3 films films these are?Plus... As mentioned back in episode 37, these slightly shorter, mini-shows are being called the Not So 'Long' Korean Podcast episodes (or 'NoSoLOKoPo') and we will be inserting such 'bite-sized' or 'subject specific' Korean related episodes into our Series [or Seasons;)] every now and then.[NOTE: As always, a version of this episode will also be available over on our fairly recently created @notsokoreanpodcast YouTube channel - please feel free to subscribe to that!]FURTHER INFODetails about subjects covered or touched on in this episode and recent ones can be found below.MARK KERMODE & SIMON MAYO: https://www.kermodeandmayo.comTheir podcast can be found on all good audio/streaming platformsYouTube clips: https://www.youtube.com/@kermodeandmayostakeMINIMINIMOVIE:http://www.MiniMiniMovie.comhttps://www.facebook.com/MiniMiniMovieshttp://www.Twitter.com/MiniMiniMovieshttps://www.Instagram.com/MiniMiniMovies (@miniminimovies)JASON VERNEY'S SHORT FILM - REPARATION:https://www.instagram.com/reparation (@reparation_film)https://www.instagram.com/NativeNomadPics (@NativeNomadPics)http://www.Instagram.com/Reparation_Film (@Reparation_Film) https://www.imdb.com/name/nm6732314/https://youtu.be/UHr9fpvr7M4 (TRAILER)https://youtu.be/QOEy-VMs7ns (Q & A - one of a few)[JASON and TIMOTHY's podcast episodes can ALSO be found in this PLAYLIST: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi-ZZE-1zF1M50lsEie0d_oqMm2Tq3i-J]#KoreanCulture #KoreanCinema #MarkKermodeThe bulk of this episode was recorded by Jason Verney in January 2024 and whilst in Chiang Mai, Thailand.The music featured in this show is by the wonderful Kaya:http://www.kaya-music.co.ukSHOW INFOThe Not So Korean Podcast with Jay & Tim is recorded live from New Malden, the UK and Europe's largest Koreatown.

In episode 39 of the 'NoSoKoPo', Jay speaks from Jeju Island in South Korea about various topics and these include the 'cheating the start of Winter' (by heading further South!), a week-long temple stay, 'Korean snow', an almost all-encompassing Jeju Rainbow, plus a first time crossing to Jeju by ferry... and Jay touches on those inevitable thoughts of the Sewol ferry (세월호) incident evoked by that trip.

After about a Series and a half - and ahead of our long-awaited full interview with James Turnbull - we introduce a new angle or format that some of our episodes will take.As you'll hear from Jay, we will be inserting 'bite-sized' or 'subject specific' Korean related episodes into our Series (or Seasons;), which will both provide you with even more insight into Korea itself whilst ensuring that we continue to bring you constant, interesting and varied information & an overall fun vibe!These mini-shows are being called the Not So 'Long' Korean Podcast episodes (or 'NoSoLOKoPo').We hope that you like this slightly new direction... although other than this, the format of the existing standard style/length episodes which stay similar to how they have been since we started in the Summer of 2021.[NOTE: As always, a version of this episode will also be available over on our fairly recently created @notsokoreanpodcast YouTube channel - please feel free to subscribe to that!]FURTHER INFODetails about subjects covered or touched on in this episode and recent ones can be found below.MINIMINIMOVIE:http://www.MiniMiniMovie.comhttps://www.facebook.com/MiniMiniMovieshttp://www.Twitter.com/MiniMiniMovieshttps://www.Instagram.com/MiniMiniMovies (@miniminimovies)JASON VERNEY'S SHORT FILM - REPARATION:https://www.instagram.com/reparation (@reparation_film)https://www.instagram.com/NativeNomadPics (@NativeNomadPics)http://www.Instagram.com/Reparation_Film (@Reparation_Film) https://www.imdb.com/name/nm6732314/https://youtu.be/UHr9fpvr7M4 (TRAILER)https://youtu.be/QOEy-VMs7ns (Q & A - one of a few)[JASON and TIMOTHY's podcast episodes can ALSO be found in this PLAYLIST: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi-ZZE-1zF1M50lsEie0d_oqMm2Tq3i-J]#KoreanCulture #NewMalden #KoreaTownThe bulk of this episode was recorded by Jason Verney and whilst in South Korea.The music featured in this show is by the wonderful Kaya:http://www.kaya-music.co.ukSHOW INFOThe Not So Korean Podcast with Jay & Tim is recorded live from New Malden, the UK and Europe's largest Koreatown.

In episode 36 of the 'NoSoKoPo', Jay introduces details of the shows's upcoming special guest, James Turnbull, author/founder of The Grand Narrative (https://thegrandnarrative.com) and does so by recording a 'live in Saigon' segment, just before his flight to South Korea, where he intends to spend a few months. You'll not only hear a tiny piece of this interview with James Turnbull at the start but even a little more at the end of the epsiode.Once again, Jay touches on the Korean influence in Vietnam, speaks a little about Chuseok (and the Asian mid Autumn festival in general), the Busan International Film Festival 2023 (BIFF) and the upcoming and 18th London Korean Film Festival (LKFF - more details over at MiniMiniMovie.com) and the soon-to-be-10th anniversary of the tragic Sewol ferry (세월호) incident.A moment is also taken to explain the direction Jay - and hopefully Tim too - will take this Not So Korean Podcast in the future. Yes... A lot is covered in this special episode but perhaps the big question is... Will Jay, on this 9th time in South Korea stay to experience his first cold December there?

In this latest episode [no. 34] of the 'NoSoKoPo', recorded in Seoul, Jay speaks to a man of many talents, An Sonjae (안선재) aka Brother Anthony / Brother Anthony of Taizé.An Sonjae is a writer, translator, scholar and naturalized Korean citizen but also quite an expert on various aspects of Korean culture.In what is a shorter interview that our recent ones, Jay and Brother Anthony manage to cover various topics and these include the origin of An Sonjae's name, becoming a Korean citizen, how he got into translation and more.Although this epsiode - and therefore interview - is under 30 minutes in length, it's likely that An Sonjae will make a return to the Not So Korean Podcast at a later date and when we can focus on one or two of so many of his talents or areas of expertise.We would like to thank to thank An Sonjae / Brother Anthony once again, and not only for sparing his time, but also for spending quite a bit of time with Jay on his most recent trip to South Korea (a little of which is spoken about in the introduction segment of this epsiode.FURTHER INFO:Details about subjects covered or touched on in this episode and recent ones can be found below.AN SONJAE / Brother Anthony of Taizé:http://anthony.sogang.ac.krJason Verney's "REPARATION":http://www.Instagram.com/Reparation_Film (@Reparation_Film) https://www.imdb.com/name/nm6732314/https://youtu.be/UHr9fpvr7M4 (TRAILER)https://youtu.be/QOEy-VMs7ns (Q & A - one of a few)[JASON and TIMOTHY's podcast episodes can ALSO be found in this PLAYLIST: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi-ZZE-1zF1M50lsEie0d_oqMm2Tq3i-J]#NewMalden#KoreaTownThe introduction segment was recorded on 13th July 2023.

PART TWO ('Return Of Aline') - Following on from the first part of this interview [in Episode 30], Jay continues his discussion with Korean adoptee, Aline Giordano about the recently released - and much acclaimed - film by Davy Chou, “Return To Seoul”, a film revolving around a Korean adoptee from France but finding herself [perhaps in more ways than one] in South Korea.As before, Aline and Jay also branch off onto other topics, such as Aline's work, her first time visiting Korea, creativity and how it can feel to be an adoptee. Of course, the conversation always 'returns' to the subject of the movie "Return To Seoul”, its music and music in general & music as therapy.Aline also tells us about whether she will ‘return to Seoul' herself and also talks more about her Gestalt therapy work. Furthermore, that film's use of translation & of more than one language is touched on, as is Aline & Jay's ability or non-ability to learn multiple languages.[It's probably worth noting that the audio (and the video) quality is better on Aline's side rather than mine - I've tired to make it as audible as possible though...] #ReturnToSeoul #RetouràSéoul #retouraseoul #리턴투서울 #KoreanDiaspora #koreanfrench #frenchkorean #davychou #parkjimin #ohkwangrok #AllThePeopleIllNeverBe #koreanadoptee #koreanadoption #adoptee #adopteevoices #thecureA version of this episode will also be available over on our newly created @notsokoreanpodcast channel - please feel free to subscribe to that!FURTHER INFO:Details about subjects covered or touched on in this episode and recent ones can be found below.Aline Giordano:https://alinegiordano.com/about-meReturn To Seoul:https://tickets.returntoseoul.comhttps://www.sonyclassics.com/film/returntoseoul/https://mubi.com/films/return-to-seoulMubi:https://mubi.com/films/return-to-seoulhttp://www.Mubi.comhttps://www.facebook.com/MubiUKhttp://www.Twitter.com/MubiUKhttps://www.Instagram.com/MubiUK (@MubiUK)[JASON and TIMOTHY's podcast episodes can ALSO be found in this PLAYLIST: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi-ZZE-1zF1M50lsEie0d_oqMm2Tq3i-J] #NewMalden #KoreaTownThe interview was conducted and recorded on 10th May 2023.The music featured in this show is by the wonderful Kaya: http://www.kaya-music.co.ukSHOW INFOThe Not So Korean Podcast with Jay & Tim is recorded live from New Malden, the UK and Europe's largest Koreatown.

Welcome to the 3rd episode [no. 28] of Series 2 of the 'NoSoKoPo' and in this show we hear from Jay when he was in South Korea & in particular about his slightly restricted arrival in Incheon International Airport to his then arriving, a few hours later at his 'close to Ikseon-dong*' accomodation and therefore in the Jongno area of Seoul.Jay's somewhat "long, winding" journey - and 'long-winded' story to match - touches on everything from getting hold of a sim-card, transportation options, passing through immigration, luggage issues, money, masks and a whole lot more.It's worth pointing out that certain requirements or restrictions relating to travelling to South Korea will have changed since this was recorded (which was in the latter part of 2022) but much of what Jay has to say can still be applicable.*This was almost unbeknown to Jay [his precise proximity to the that hanok-ridden area (aka Ikseondong Hanok Village / 익선동 한옥거리)] and this was perhaps Jason's first experience of such Ikseon-dong streets. You may hear more about this in a future Not So Korean Podcast show -and perhaps as a kind of 'Part 2' of to this episode - if only to hear Jay's realisation of his very close proximity to Changdeokgung Palace (창덕궁) and Changgyeonggung Palace (창경궁)!FURTHER INFO:Details about subjects covered or touched on in this episode and recent ones can be found below.Sewol:https://rememberingsewoluk.wordpress.comhttps://www.facebook.com/RememberingSewolUKhttps://www.instagram.com/sewol_uk/Jason Verney's "Reparation:http://www.Instagram.com/Reparation_Film (@Reparation_Film)https://www.imdb.com/name/nm6732314/https://youtu.be/UHr9fpvr7M4 (TRAILER)https://youtu.be/QOEy-VMs7ns"Retired, Working For You"https://www.youtube.com/@RetiredWorkingForYouhttps://retiredworkingforyou.com[JASON and TIMOTHY's podcast episodes can ALSO be found in this PLAYLIST: https://youtube.com/playlist?l...]#NewMalden#KoreaTownThe main 'on location' segment/s of this episode were recording on 19th August 2022 in Seoul, South Korea.The music featured in this show is by the wonderful Kaya:http://www.kaya-music.co.ukSHOW INFO:The Not So Korean Podcast with Jay & Tim is recorded live from New Malden, the UK and Europe's largest Koreatown.

Welcome to the second episode [no. 27] of Series 2 of the 'NoSoKoPo' and in this show, we let you hear Jay and Tim's 'farewell chat', recorded just before Jason/Jay left for his few months in South Korea.The chat consisted of discussion about what or where the previous 12 months (& more than 25 epsiodes) had taken Jay and Tim and their lives in New Malden (aka KoreaTown UK), as well as vague plans whilst being apart and also what you lovely "Not So Korean Podcast" listeners may have to look forward to in future episodes.Tim & Jay also hint at future plans regarding a standalone YouTube channel and website [if you've heard epsiode 26 you'll know about these now - full details below too!] and Jason presented Timothy with a very apt gift, one which consisted of elements relating to 3 countries Tim has an interest in: Primarily though, South Korea and his native Canada, but also Thailand.[A huge thank you must go out to the collective behind - & friends of - the YouTubechannel, “Retired Working For You”, especially Allan and Khun It…] It was a poignant and rather touching time, and just after Tim & Jay had set-off on their last [2022] bicyle ride together. In fact, a video overview of that day can be seen here: https://youtu.be/Kjy9o5FYVYA (on Jason Verney's channel) AND/OR via https://youtu.be/1mvpoIle-Js (the NEW channel for the Not So Korean Podcast) FURTHER INFO:Details about subjects covered or touched on in this episode can be found below.Sewol:https://rememberingsewoluk.wordpress.comhttps://www.facebook.com/RememberingSewolUKhttps://www.instagram.com/sewol_uk/Jason Verney's "Reparation:http://www.Instagram.com/Reparation_Film (@Reparation_Film)https://www.imdb.com/name/nm6732314/https://youtu.be/UHr9fpvr7M4 (TRAILER)https://youtu.be/QOEy-VMs7ns"Retired, Working For You"https://www.youtube.com/@RetiredWorkingForYouhttps://retiredworkingforyou.com[JASON and TIMOTHY's podcast episodes can ALSO be found in this PLAYLIST: https://youtube.com/playlist?l...]#NewMalden#KoreaTownMain segment recorded on 2nd August 2022 in the Berrylands area, which is near to New Malden aka 'Korea-town UK'.The music featured in this show is by the wonderful Kaya:http://www.kaya-music.co.ukSHOW INFO:The Not So Korean Podcast with Jay & Tim is recorded live from New Malden, the UK and Europe's largest Koreatown.

In this Episode 22 of the 'NoSoKoPo', we bring you PART TWO of Jay & Tim's interview with the multi-talented Eugene Kim - Eugene Kim is a translator, language tutor and more & she's someone we've both been acquainted with for some time, and whom Tim has collaborated with.In Part Two so much is discussed with Eugene and subjects include: Tips for anyone wanting to become a translator, whether computers (or A.I.) will ever completely take over from humans in the world of translation, how things may have changed or trends Eugene may have witnessed over time, the growing popularity of Korean literature and how fans of other aspects of Korean culture often get interested in novels and writing, and Eugene's words on motherhood. The subject of mental health is touched on too and we even chat briefly about Mind in Kingston. Lastly, Jay and Tim can't resist informing Eugene about their recent Korean reads, namely "To The Warm Horizon" by Choi Jin-young and "Grass" by Keum Suk Gendry-Kim.And if Colette Balmain and/or Darcy Paquet happen to listen to our podcast/s, they may catch Eugene and us speaking a little about them also! If you missed Part One, subjects covered include Eugene's experiences in the UK and Canada, her work with the magazine/online publication, "Nabillera", how Gothic literature has played a part in Ms Kim's work and working with the KCCUK's Korean Literature Nights as well as the book which Eugene and Tim worked on: "My Itchy Middle Finger" (손가락이 간질간질), by Kang Byoung Yoong.CORRECTION: A small but important piece of information provided in Part 1 [episode 21] was incorrect, and we mention this at the beginning of this new episode [ep. 22] - we have since corrected this for the audio version of the NoSoKoPo across all platforms, and for the video version we have edited the description to include details of this oversight, which is essentially this:In Part 1 of this interview, it was stated that "Nabillera" is from a poem by 정지용 (Jung Chi-yong). It is actually by 조지훈 (Cho Chi-hun).Finally - and perhaps to make up for that oversight - here is some additional information regarding that poem, which, as Eugene quite rightly states, is called "Sing-mu” (승무):It is also known as “The Nun's Dance", and this information (and more) can also be found on the Nabillera website's "About" section... Link is below.

In this "on the move" episode, Jay and Tim discuss a recent Korean film "experience" - and what an experience it was! In this special show, we review and perhaps dissect the recent Korean Film Nights screening of an old Korean movie starring [Oscar winner] Youn Yuh-jung and directed by the well-known Kim Ki-Young, and brought to us by the London Korean Film Festival and Korean Cultural Centre UK/London guys... the first of their 2022 treats!The film in question is “An Experience To Die For”, although we believe the film has also been known as “Angel, Become An Evil Woman” and/or, with both titles combined: “An Experience To Die For: Angel, Become An Evil Woman”. We also chat about another film and one we've talked about before - the much revered 'Korean-infused' Japanese film, "Drive My Car". The night's 'experiences' - at one of our favourite independent cinema's, Genesis Cinema - were made complete by a quick catch-up with the lovely Diya Mitra ("Diya on Korea") and a little chat with Korean film expert and the night's host, Mark Morris.In this episode, we literally take you on a journey - well, more than one (!), as it's recorded during our journey back TO New Malden aka KoreaTown UK!Further information about subjects covered in this episode can be found here:LONDON KOREAN FILM FESTIVAL:http://www.KoreanFilm.co.ukhttps://www.facebook.com/TheLKFFhttp://www.Twitter.com/KoreanFilmFesthttps://www.Instagram.com/London_Korean_Film_Festival (@London_Korean_Film_Festival)KCCUK:http://www.KCCUK.org.ukhttps://www.facebook.com/kccukhttp://www.Twitter.com/kccukhttps://www.Instagram.com/KCCUK (@KCCUK)GENESIS CINEMA:https://www.genesiscinema.co.ukhttps://www.facebook.com/genesiscinemahttps://www.twitter.com/genesiscinemahttps://www.instagram.com/genesiscinema (@GenesisCinema)DIYA ON KOREA:https://www.facebook.com/diyaonkoreahttps://www.instagram.com/diya_on_korea/https://twitter.com/DiyaonKoreahttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-z4WKL7qz13_BX2XtP7v1wMARK MORRIS:Mark Morris is a fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge.

Fairly hot on the heels of the tail-end of "Seollal" (설날 / Korean Lunar New Year), Jay and Tim take a different approach to recent episodes and videos, and in fact chat 'on location' - in the popular "Cake & Bingsoo Cafe" in New Malden aka KOREA-Town UK - about Korea and what they miss about being in South Korea.Choosing such a venue as the location for the first of such chats [yes, more of these fill happen in the not too distant future] gives Tim and Jay an excuse to not only chat about the cold Korean delicacy, Bingsoo [빙수 / Bingsu] but also 'living in the cold' in Korea.Topics also discussed are being an expat in Korea, South Korean fashion, the intention or possibility of travelling back to Korea in 2022, the Lunar New year [in Korea and other countries], missing Korea and slightly off on a tangent, the beauty pageant known as "Miss Korea" (미스코리아). These are just some of the items covered in this show.WARNING: This episode contains some bad word-play and puns...Further information about subjects covered in this episode can be found here:CAKE & BINGSOO CAFE:https://cakeandbingsoo.co.ukhttps://www.instagram.com/bingsoocafe (@bingsoocafe)https://www.facebook.com/Cake-and-Bingsoo-Cafe-106860244237230/JASON VERNEY'S SHORT FILM - REPARATION:https://www.instagram.com/reparation (@reparation_film)https://www.instagram.com/NativeNomadPics (@NativeNomadPics)MINIMINIMOVIE:http://www.MiniMiniMovie.comhttps://www.facebook.com/MiniMiniMovieshttp://www.Twitter.com/MiniMiniMovieshttps://www.Instagram.com/MiniMiniMovies (@miniminimovies)In fact, in this episode we cover a lot of 'Korean' ground and here's a little shout-out or reminder to people who we often mention, even if not in this episode [by way of their Instagram accounts/hashtags]:@NotSoKoreanPodcast@je_justina_jang@Paratize84@JasianVerney@BeingBrasian[JASON and TIMOTHY's podcast episodes can ALSO be found in this PLAYLIST: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi-ZZE-1zF1M50lsEie0d_oqMm2Tq3i-J]#LondonKoreanFilmFestival#KBCEuk#Kaya#NewMalden#KoreaTown#LondonKoreanLinksRecorded on 4th February 2022 at Cake & Bingsoo Cafe, New Malden [Greater London / Surrey / UK].The music featured in this show is by the wonderful Kaya:http://www.kaya-music.co.ukSHOW INFO: The Not So Korean Podcast with Jay & Tim is recorded live from New Malden, the UK and Europe's largest Koreatown.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! PART 2 for 2022!As we released PART 1 of this special two-part and festive 'Kimchi and Film' themed 'NoSoKoPo' show only hours before Christmas Day itself, we thought it best to hold out until after the first week of 2022 before dropping PART 2 on our viewers & listeners, by which time Jay & Tim would have just settling back into 'the new normal', and perhaps our 'fans' would have too!In this second half - which starts immediately after PART 1's interview with artists (and 'kimchi pool' designers), The Decorators - Jay and Tim dedicate a large chunk of it to Korean films, a Korean-related film or two and indeed a Korean Christmas film which recently graced UK cinema screens. Movies covered and/or reviewed include two by Kim Jong-kwan, "Josée" and "Shades Of The Heart", as well as "Finding Angel", "Heaven - To The Land Of Happiness", "Spiritwalker", "Drive My Car", Justin Chon's "Blue Bayou", and d even a documentary about Oscar-winner Ms Youn Yuh-jung... Oh, and chit-chat about when Jay & Tim met a couple of Korean film directors recently, including Mr Im Sang-soo.From film talk we mix this with chat about Korean adoptees, coffee places in KoreaTown and indeed South Korea itself, an exhausting London Korean Film Festival in 2021, touch on Korean plastic surgery, the Sewol ferry [as we did in Part 1 briefly] and a tiny video snippet from a recent Sewol UK memorial in Korea-town itself, as well as John Kim's Kimchi song again and speak a little about North Koreans in New Malden yet again - a subject we will be covering more in Episode 18 or 19.Listen out for us touching again on new gift-box company, "Seoulbox" [an unboxing of which will also feature in Episode 18], the Third Window Films podcast and the prospect of Jay & Tim doing 'live' podcast sessions in New Malden itself.Lastly, you'll hear about how Jay took up far too much of a KOFICE's correspondent's time, but at the same time learnt so much about how she (Tayoni) helps others with the Korean language via her YouTube channel, in addition to Jay, and indeed Tim almost 'food-shopping' in the name of Korean TV channel, KBS!Further information about subjects covered in this episode can be found here:FILM INFO:"Finding Angel" - Thanks to @themediapioneers (Instagram)"Blue Bayou" - @BlueBayouFilm (Instagram) & @JustinChon (Instagram - director)"Drive My Car - @drivemycar_mv (Instagram)"Heaven - To The Land Of Happiness", "Spiritwalker""Josée" and "Shades Of The Heart" - @monologue707 (dir.

In this 16th episode and first part of a two-part Special Festive & Kimchi and Film themed 'NoSoKoPo' show, Jay and Tim discuss the recent Kimjang Festival in 'KoreaTown' UK [aka New Malden], have an exclusive interview with artists THE DECORATORS (with whom our hosts collaborated in kimchi related art project), play a parody Kimchi-themed song - along with video, if you tune in to the episode on YouTube - submitted by subscriber John Kim, and chat about Sewol, vegan kimchi, their health and more juicy Korean related news, issues and culture.Part 2 will follow in the New Year and we can confirm that the show continues the theme of more juicy Korean chit-chat, a focus on Korean films, have more mini revelations and continue on one or two subjects covered in Part 1.

Although Episode 16 is on it's way - in which we interview artists known as The Decorators and talk about their connection with Kimchi, and the Kimjang festival, Korean films and much more - we wanted to take this opportunity to not only speak a little about what is coming in that episode but also about the MUBI.com season of Korean films. We've touched on this amazing series before, and even as we write this there is still at least one more Korean movie to be added to Mubi UK, but we wanted to let you see (or hear, if you're checking this episode out on an audio-only podcast platform) the wonderful little trailer which Mubi.com have put together, as well as chat briefly about Jay's website MiniMiniMovie.com where interviews and reviews relating to a few of these films can be found. We hope you enjoy this short episode - very different to our last, jam-packed and lengthy show!Further information about subjects covered in this episode - or hinted towards - can be found here:MUBI (UK):http://www.Mubi.comhttps://www.facebook.com/MubiUKhttp://www.Twitter.com/MubiUKhttps://www.Instagram.com/MubiUK (@MubiUK)THE DECORATORS:http://the-decorators.nethttps://www.instagram.com/thedecorators/ (@TheDecorators)KIMJANG PROJECT / FESTIVAL:https://www.youtube.com//KimjangProjecthttps://www.facebook.com/kimjangprojecthttps://www.instagram.com/kimjangproject/ (@KimjangProject)SEWOL:https://rememberingsewoluk.wordpress.comhttps://www.facebook.com/RememberingSewolUKhttps://www.instagram.com/sewol_uk/LONDON KOREAN FILM FESTIVAL 2021:http://www.KoreanFilm.co.ukhttps://www.facebook.com/TheLKFFhttp://www.Twitter.com/KoreanFilmFesthttps://www.Instagram.com/London_Korean_Film_Festival (@London_Korean_Film_Festival)MINIMINIMOVIE:http://www.MiniMiniMovie.comhttps://www.facebook.com/MiniMiniMovieshttp://www.Twitter.com/MiniMiniMovieshttps://www.Instagram.com/MiniMiniMovies (@miniminimovies)JASON VERNEY'S SHORT FILM - REPARATION:https://www.instagram.com/reparation (@reparation_film)https://www.instagram.com/NativeNomadPics (@NativeNomadPics)In fact, in each episode we cover a lot of 'Korean' ground and here's a little shout-out or reminder to people who we often mention, even if not in this episode [by way of their Instagram accounts/hashtags]:@NotSoKoreanPodcast@je_justina_jang@Paratize84@JasianVerney@BeingBrasian@SEWOL_uk@Reparation_film[Mine and TIMOTHY's podcast episodes can ALSO be found in this PLAYLIST: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi-ZZE-1zF1M50lsEie0d_oqMm2Tq3i-J]#LondonKoreanFilmFestival#KBCEuk#Kaya#NewMalden#KoreaTown#LondonKoreanLinksRecorded on 30th November 2021.The music featured in this regular show is by the wonderful Kaya:http://www.kaya-music.co.ukSHOW INFO: The Not So Korean Podcast with Jay & Tim is recorded live from New Malden, the UK and Europe's largest Koreatown.
