Welcome to Waeg! Join hosts Emma and Abby as they discuss life in South Korea. You can look forward to conversations about the things they love (and don’t love!) about living in Korea, as well as a variety of guests and their unique stories about making a life in Korea. It’s important that everyone does their bit - even just a tiny bit! - in the fight against environmental challenges, so each episode will also feature a segment discussing these challenges and ways in which we can leave behind a better world.

Abby Wagner & Emma Sheldrick
