In this episode of Korea Deconstructed, I'm joined by four university students: young people who voted, watched, and waited as South Korea held its most recent presidential election and elected Lee Jae-myung. We discuss what the election felt like to them. What it felt like to cast a vote. What they saw among their friends. And what was never said. We'll explore the hopes and contradictions of a generation caught between economic uncertainty, cultural shifts, and a political system that doesn't always seem built for them.

A recent viral YouTube video claimed that Korea would soon be extinct. The country transformed negatively by one of the world's lowest birthrates. Change, it suggested, was too late. Four young adults come together to discuss the future of Korea, assessing its birthrate issues, education, culture of perfection, and the deep spiritual crisis that seems to have gripped the nation. Is Korea really over? Not necessarily... We hear from 4 young people all living here: a young Korean man interested in Jungian psychology, a woman balancing study and modeling, an ethnic Korean from Uzbekistan (Koryosaram), and someone just embarking on their college life.  Big thank you to these wonderful people: Celine (@celinesoyoon) Marina (@marina_tens) Susan Ray 한종철 Watch the original video from @Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell https://youtu.be/Ufmu1WD2TSk?si=0RuYZzEe5cr4pQ7p David A.

During the conversations outside of the podcast, David and I were talking about how we hope not only David's film "Meet Me At The Cross" can be an example of the prodigal son, but also speaks truth and light on the honesty of a testimony. I hope our conversation sparks some questions about your personal walk with Christ or even ponders if God is real. Make sure to check our page to see David's Film "Meet Me At The Cross".Meet Me At The Cross is about when the church empties out, it becomes a romantic getaway for Jacob and his girlfriend. But after their secret is uncovered, the pastor's son must decide between following his religion and pursuing his relationship.

This week, in memory of His Holiness Pope Francis and of the revolutionary anniversaries in America and Ireland this week, some words on the humility necessary for the best sorts of leaders.---Click here to support the Wednesday Blog: https://www.patreon.com/sthosdkanePhoto: By Korea.net / Korean Culture and Information Service (Photographer name), CC BY-SA 2.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=34828249

THANKS Thanks to all you listeners, and to those who have supported me through the years and especially through this most recent hiatus. Also thanks to Marco of the Storia d'Italia podcast (https://italiastoria.com/) for giving authenticity to the Italian quote–which, incidentally, I believe I mistranslated somewhat: It's normally rendered as “when one Pope dies, we make another”, giving additional bluntness to the meaning. IMAGE CREDIT: By Korea.net / Korean Culture and Information Service (Photographer name), CC BY-SA 2.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=34828249 (Via Wikipedia) TRANSCRIPT Welcome to Popeular History: History through Pope Colored Glasses. My name is Gregg, and this is another special housekeeping episode. Vice-Pope Mrs Popeular History and I have a running joke about my superpower, namely that when I say something, it automatically becomes not true. Which, I know, isn't a great power for a fact-based podcaster to have, I mean, there's a reason I haven't told you about this ability of mine earlier. But you can see it at work here, with me announcing just days ago that Popeular History's hiatus would carry on through at least June, and now, well, I assume this isn't news to you since you're the sort of person to tune into this sort of show and it's been a day, but Pope Francis died early this morning. May he rest in peace, and may he find more mercy than anyone deserves in the Court of the Just Judge, as we would all hope to find for ourselves, and as we should all hope for others. In light of that, I'd like to announce that I am revoking my recent proclamation of continued hiatus, meaning yes, Popeular History is back, at least for the duration of the present Sede Vacante, as long as I can physically manage it and my efforts continue to receive both nihil obstats and imprimaturs from Vice-Pope Mrs Popeular History, who, as  it turns out, does *not* automatically succeed Francis as Pope. Apparently, there's a whole different process for that. Who knew? Anyways, here's what to expect. First, as much as I legitimately hate it, it is time to say goodbye to Pope Francis. You will be seeing an obituary on this feed soon, and there will be more tributes and reflections on his papacy coming now that it has concluded. Catholics do not pray only for the living, it's important to pray for the dead as well, so I would encourage you to pray for Pope Francis to find rest in God's merciful embrace if you're willing to pray. We'll conclude this episode with a brief Ave Maria–known in English as a Hail Mary, and I'll go ahead and do an English version as well–for that purpose, for Pope Francis' repose. After some appropriate reflection on Pope Francis and his legacy, there will be the matter of laying him to rest. Once I know when the funeral will be, information that will likely become available after the first General Congregation tomorrow morning, I will make every effort to plan for some form of livestream coverage, possibly as part of a larger group. The general expectation is that the funeral will be this weekend, I'll keep you all posted. As of now, Francis' body is already in an oak coffin in preparation for lying in state, and the Papal apartments have been sealed with wax as per custom. Within the next week, Pope Francis' remains will ultimately make their way to a storeroom in the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, or in English, Saint Mary Major. And I just have to acknowledge that “when I go out, stick me in the closet” is *very* on brand for Pope Francis. Though it's also worth noting that it's not like there's you know, a lot of free space for dead popes in the highest tier of Rome's churches, so even if it weren't as on brand for him, well, needs must and all that. Anyways, after Pope Francis is laid to rest in an old closet, any reluctance to talk about the upcoming conclave on my part will vanish. Granted, lots of folks are already taking bets and asking for my lines and predictions, but, you know, I'm not planning to be focusing on that so much this week. This is the time for goodbyes. However, as the Italians say, “Morto un papa se ne fa un altro”: “when the Pope dies, we make a new one” (Marco recording). And so next week, after the funeral, I'll begin to look in earnest at the conclave process, including looking at the Cardinals to hopefully get a first glimpse of the new Pope. Ideally, of course, I'd love to be able to point to an existing episode on whoever is elected when the time comes. And I've got a decent chance of being able to do that thanks to Cardinal Numbers: so far we've talked about over 50 Cardinals on this feed, and I've got dozens more basically researched and scripted, who were awaiting just a bit of touching up before recording and editing closer to their release date. Which actually sounds REALLY promising when you consider the theoretical cap of 120 Cardinal-Electors you're going to hear more about soon in the context of the fact that there are currently more Cardinal Electors than that and no apparent provisions for dealing with that situation. Bottom line, of the 135 current Cardinal electors, I've only got about 30 that I haven't gone in-depth on in some fashion. To be clear, I'm not going to have every Cardinal elector covered in time. It's just not possible with work and family continuing apace. But you're going to see a lot from me in the coming weeks, especially once we're officially in Conclave mode after the funeral. Which brings us back to where started this chat. Let's close tonight by praying for Pope Francis' repose, first in Latin, then in English. I'll be doing both parts of the Hail Mary, since Vice-Pope Mrs Popeular History went to bed a while ago. In nomine Patri, et Filii, et Spiritui Sancti amen: Áve María, grátia pléna, Dóminus técum. Benedícta tu in muliéribus, et benedíctus frúctus véntris túi, Iésus. Sáncta María, Máter Déi, óra pro nóbis peccatóribus, nunc et in hóra mórtis nóstrae. Amen. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, amen.

Plus, we take a look at how the hospitality industry has survived and thrived five years after COVID. We chat with Chef Hattem Matar about his signature dishes and what Ramadan means to him. We also speak with Chef Jason Atherton about how he navigated the challenges of the pandemic and his latest restaurant launches. Lastly, we dive into how lawyer Gabriela Skaf pivoted from law to entrepreneurship, founding Dubai’s first puppet theater, Les Marionnettes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop is joined by Katelynne Schuler, a thinker and innovator in the realms of psychology, religion, and philosophy. The conversation spans a wide range of compelling topics, including the layered nuances of Korean social hierarchy, the evolution of political language, and the shifting ideologies within Western conservatism. They explore the rebranding of the KKK, the deeper implications of free speech in a world dominated by digital platforms, and the unseen influence of corporations on government censorship. Katelynne also shares her insights on the psychology of "falls from grace" and how isolation during the pandemic may have catalyzed narcissistic tendencies in some people. The episode touches on larger philosophical questions about civilization, power, and media's role in shaping collective belief. To learn more about Katelynne Schuler, you can find her on Facebook under her name, Katelynne Schuler.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 Introduction to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast00:32 Exploring Korean Culture and Social Nuances02:52 Language and Political Ideologies04:23 Project 2025 and Political Shifts06:21 The KKK's Rebranding and Conservatism10:25 Theocracy and Intersectionalism11:14 Free Speech and Internet History30:05 The Impact of COVID-19 and Vaccines34:15 Clearing Out and Cognitive Dissonance35:07 Pandemic Social Dynamics36:06 Narcissism and Social Isolation38:22 Conspiracy Theories and Social Impact41:34 Lockdowns and Quarantine43:25 Media Manipulation and Public Perception44:52 Nanotechnology and Conspiracy Theories49:42 Bill Gates and Genetic Engineering52:42 Trump, Publicity, and Media Influence58:41 Finance, Asset Valuation, and Media Future01:03:30 Pandemic Warnings and Conspiracies01:07:34 Conclusion and Contact InformationKey Insights1. The Power of Language in Social and Political SystemsKatelynne Schuler highlights the profound role that language plays in shaping social dynamics, drawing on Korean culture's use of honorifics as a prime example. In Korean, different forms of language are used depending on social rank, respect, and familiarity, essentially creating three distinct "languages" within one. This insight is paralleled with Western political discourse, where the left and right often use the same words but with entirely different meanings. The observation points to a broader idea that shared language does not guarantee shared understanding—a crucial realization in an era of increasing political division.2. Free Speech, Corporate Power, and Government CensorshipA central thread in the episode is the evolution of free speech in the age of digital platforms. Schuler and Alsop explore how platforms like Twitter and Facebook have become arenas where free speech is both enabled and curtailed. While platforms have the right to control content as private entities, the duo highlights the more concerning trend of governments using corporations as proxies to suppress dissent. This dynamic blurs the line between free enterprise and state censorship, raising questions about how much "free speech" really exists in online spaces.3. The Psychological Fallout of Isolation and "Fall from Grace"Katelynne offers a unique psychological perspective on how the pandemic-induced isolation created a rise in narcissistic tendencies. As people lost their social connections, especially those ostracized for holding unpopular views on COVID, their need for self-validation intensified. This "fall from grace" experience can push people toward more rigid thinking, strengthening their attachment to specific beliefs or ideologies. Schuler notes that this isn't a reflection of right or wrong beliefs but a psychological response to social exclusion. It's a profound insight into how isolation and rejection affect the human psyche.4. The Rebranding of Extremist IdeologiesOne of the more startling revelations is the claim that groups like the KKK have rebranded themselves with a new focus on Christian nationalism, moving away from racial exclusion and embracing ideological alignment with "Christian values." Schuler notes that this shift aligns with a broader push within segments of American conservatism to integrate Christian morality into governance. This evolution is compared to the broader concept of theocratic governance, where laws are designed to reflect specific religious values—a concept that is controversial, even within conservative circles.5. Global Power Shifts and Lessons from HistoryThe episode provides a historical deep dive into events like the Seven Years' War, which Winston Churchill referred to as the first true "world war." Schuler suggests that while Germany was ostensibly defeated in this war, its real victory lay in how it exported its people and culture globally, influencing future power structures. This insight parallels modern debates about nationalism and globalism, with the hosts exploring how smaller, insulated communities might have better weathered the COVID crisis by closing off from global networks—much like Germany's "export" strategy.6. Technology, Nanotechnology, and the Role of Bill GatesAlsop and Schuler address the controversial role of Bill Gates, focusing on his investments in biotech and nanotechnology. They discuss Gates' involvement in genetically engineered mosquitoes released in South America and the ethical questions it raises. There's also a hint of speculative intrigue around nanobots, with references to origami-style nanostructures found in human blood. While these claims are framed as emerging curiosities rather than confirmed realities, they touch on larger concerns about who controls emerging technologies and to what end.7. The Fragmentation of Media and the Future of InformationFinally, the episode explores the fragmentation of media and its impact on public consciousness. Unlike previous decades when a few major outlets shaped collective opinion, today's media landscape is fractured, with individuals curating their own reality through niche sources. While this decentralization of media offers more choice, it also leads to greater division, as people consume entirely different versions of reality. Schuler suggests that this lack of a shared narrative might weaken societal cohesion, as people lose common ground on basic truths. This shift toward decentralized media aligns with broader conversations about social media algorithms and "echo chambers," where everyone has their own version of reality.

Lim's project is a cultural history of race in South Korea that examines ideas and practices of race in literary and cultural production and discourse shaped at the nexus of modern Korean history and globalization processes. She examines Korean racial formation through literature, K-pop, and TV dramas like Squid Game. She explores how Koreans' ideas of race were informed by their experiences under Japanese colonialism and U.S. neo-colonialism, connecting Korean studies with concepts like racial formation, white supremacy, and anti-Blackness.

Carlos Gorito is many things but most in Korea would have first come across him when he appeared on the hit television show 비정상회담 in 2015. Discussing a wide-range of topics in Korean, his personality and passion saw him gain many fans and win respect from the nation. He has worked with the Brazilian Embassy in South Korea and does a fabulous job of promoting relations between the two countries. When you listen to him speak, he says "us" and "we" when talking about Korea, and is now a public relations ambassador for Jeju Island. I first met him when we were both appointed by the Ministry of Justice to help people acclimatize to life here, a position he still proudly holds. Find him on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carlosgorito/ Thank you to Bhavya for joining the Patreon as a paid member. I try to put free stuff there for members so you can see things with or without money. Because the studio and everything else involved costs a fair bit, any contribution certainly helps, but is not required.

Jocelyn Clark is a performer and scholar. Before becoming a professor at Pai Chai (培材) University in South Korea, she founded and directed the CrossSound new music festival in Alaska, and the new music touring ensemble IIIZ+ (guzheng, koto, gayageum, and percussion), organizations through which she commissioned and/or premiered over 30 new works for Korean gayageum. Next to her work in contemporary music she is the first foreigner without Korean heritage to become an official government disciple in the National Heritage system, in the genre gayageum sanjo and byeongchang [伽倻琴散調/竝唱]. As a scholar, Clark has spent over 25 years in Japan, China, and Korea studying traditional musics. She holds a Ph. D. from Harvard University in East Asian Languages and Civilizations where she wrote on the language of pansori, focusing on the tension between its oral transmission/low social standing and its tenuous relationship to Chinese classical poetic texts of the High Tang. Other research interests include music of place, aesthetics, and contemporary “national music” performance practices in Northeast Asia in the age of AI. She has published in academic journals such as The World of Music, Asian Musicology, and Perspectives on Korean Music. She writes an opinion column for the national newspaper the JoongAng Daily.

In this episode of Passion Struck, I had the pleasure of interviewing James Rhee, a high school teacher turned private equity investor. James shared his inspiring journey, starting from his childhood experience with a red helicopter that taught him the value of kindness and generosity. He discussed his decision to teach high school and later attend Harvard Law School to become a public defender. However, he ultimately pursued a career in private equity. James emphasized the importance of leading with kindness and compassion in both personal and professional life. He highlighted the need to focus on intrinsic motivation rather than external validation and discussed the complexities of human behavior and societal systems.

Park Nohae emerged as a powerful literary voice in South Korea during the tumultuous 1980s, though at the time few knew who he actually was. He was the faceless poet. The voice of the many. Working various manual labor jobs which exposed him to the harsh realities faced by the working class, he became a champion of labor rights and social justice. His collection of poems "노동의 새벽( Dawn of Labor)" published in 1984 sold over a million copies. However, his call for change and a new sky over the South Korean people brought him into conflict with the military dictatorship. He was arrested and sentenced to life in prison, though many called for the death penalty. Eventually, after seven long years, much of which was solitary confinement, he was released. Today he still writes poetry and takes photos, sharing his wisdom and insights with a new generation. You can also visit his photo exhibitions in Seoul, with images captured in Iraq and Palestine. However, Park shuns the limelight, rarely giving interviews and not wanting fame or publicity. This conversation with Cheehyung Harrison Kim celebrates the first English publication of Dawn of Labor, a book which he worked on with Brother Anthony (An Sonjae). Harrison is an associate professor of Korean history at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. We are also joined by Seoul Women's University student Kim Jiwon.

Cultures are dynamic and powerful forces that shape our identities and influence our perspectives on the world. They serve as bridges, effortlessly connecting the depth of our heritage with the construction of our futures. But for Asian Americans, the balance between traditional values and modern ideals poses a distinct challenge as they strive to find their place within society.Between visibility and invisibility, the pervasive presence of racism, the necessity for adaptation, and the negotiation between individuality and community… The Asian American experience is as complex as it is resilient. Today's guest embodies this truth in more ways than one. Kris Yi, Ph.D., Psy.D. is a licensed clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst with more than 25 years of clinical experience. Throughout her career, she has dedicated her work to highlighting and raising awareness of the Asian American experience, and racial bias within psychoanalysis.  In today's episode, Kris invites us to step into her world. She illustrates her journey from South Korea to the United States, sharing the challenges of migration, the enduring impact of cultural trauma, and the art of finding the balance between two distinct cultures. Determined to break free from bias, Kris lends her voice to the Art of Listening, to offer a fresh and often overlooked perspective that defies stereotypes.Join us as Kris boldly rewrites the narrative of the Asian American experience, carving out a unique space within the realm of psychoanalysis.Chapters1 - Juggling Korean and American cultures (4:22)2 - Anti-Asian racism and the Model Minority myth (10:41)3 - Kris's experiences with Discrimination and Hypersexualisation (17:14)4 - Historical racism in Psychoanalysis (22:41)5 - Bringing new visibility to the Asian Perspective (26:08)LinksKris YiKris' Journal on the Asian Perspective in PsychoanalysisEileen DunnMore from ‘The Art of Listening'

Cars, circuitry and communications technologies are among South Korea's biggest exports. But it's the country's cultural offerings that are the focus of an exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

Plus-Sized Hearts starts its journey with a very special guest from Korea. Vivian Geeyang Kim is a true trailblazer in Korea's plus-size scene. After attempting to go see a showing of Jeanie Finlay's empowering documentary Your Fat Friend at the DMZ Doc Fest in Seoul I saw that Vivian was on the speakers panel after the showing.   After a couple of DMs and emails, Vivian and I ended up having dinner at a great burger place in a cool part of Seoul and the rest is history. Every time we meet, I learn something from her about staying true to yourself. She is unapologetic when it comes to making sure people (mostly women) in Korea feel seen and heard no matter what their body size. For the past 15 years Vivian has been chipping away at the Korean culture's tendency to completely turn away from people with larger bodies. She's been steadfast in her commitment to bring about awareness that people with larger bodies are people with hearts, feelings and have the right to do as they chose living in the society of Korea, and most importantly they have a right to live without feeling like they don't belong. Try not to tear up at the end when she shares what she does to keep her heart plus-sized. Vivian put her money where her heart is and started her own design house called im66100 and she shares what the name means in this episode. She's also been photographed in major fashion magazines such as Vogue and Elle. She appears regularly on TV talking about being plus-size in Korea.  This first episode of Plus-Size Hearts is one you don't want to miss! Here's where you can learn more about Vivian and her ongoing projects: Instagram: @plusmodelThreads: @plusmodelDesign house: www.im66100.comVivian's website: plusmodelkorea.comYoutube: @kimgeeyang You can learn more about me

Here, she talks about how she discovered underground subculture in her late teens and then watched it develop over the years. She describes the community's most important bands and people, as well as those who others might have forgotten along the way. The conversation also reveals how every time punk rock becomes mainstream in Korea something comes along to force it back underground.  Much of my own twenties and thirties are a blur, but I played a lot of the same shows and venues with Trash. That she continues to keep the flame alive is a testament to her passion and desire for this scene.

From BTS to Squid Game to high-end beauty standards, South Korea reigns as a global exporter of pop culture and entertainment. Just 70 years ago, it would have seemed impossible. For the next episode in our "Superpower" series, exploring U.S. connections to East Asia, we tell the story of South Korea's rise from a war-decimated state to a major driver of global soft power: a story of war, occupation, economic crisis, and national strategy that breaks around the world as the Korean Wave.

Choi Isu is a young South Korean woman who has a vision of a better world. She believes in communication, community, and education. Measures that will stop the fragmentation of society and isolation experienced by some people today. Much of this worldview has been informed by her own educational experiences. Attending Ewoo High School, she received an alternative education focused on discussion and student-based learning rather than the rote memorization required elsewhere. I've known Isu for around 6 months and continue to be amazed by her courage, personality, and willingness to venture into the unknown. When we talk about Korean Gen Z and youth, we would do well to remember examples like Isu. At the end of the podcast, you can even hear a hip-hop track we made together with help from Kevin. "In our present culture, we have become accustomed to putting new wine into old bottles and hoping that we can make the new conform to the pattern of the old. But that which is truly new is not recognizable by the old, and the old becomes a hindrance to the new. If we do not see the new, it is not because it is not there, but because we are anchored to the old, and the old, being repetitive, makes us dull, weary, and insensitive."   Discussion Outline  0:00 Alternative Education in Korea 12:22 University 19:00 Suneung (SATs) 27:20 Changing the World 40:00 AI and Chat GPT 46:00 MBTIs and fortune tellers 1:03:30 Do young Korean people still care about Confucianism? 1:20:20 Love and Romance in Gen Z 1:40:26 Main worries and pleasures 1:58:50 Feminism and Safety 2:09:00 What do Gen Z do apart from go to Cafes?   Isu's column in the Korea Times https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/nation/2023/08/715_354531.html   Korea Deconstructed by David Tizzard  ▶ Get in touch: datizzard@swu.ac.kr ▶ Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=62047873 ▶ Watch us on Youtube: /davidtizzard ▶ Listen on iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/co/podcast... ▶ Listen on podcasts: https://koreadeconstructed.libsyn.com... ▶ Music: We Shoot Back (feat.

In this episode, we wanted to share the Q&A time from our July Cultural Dinner! For the dinner, we highlighted the Korean culture and honored our friends Alex, Hannah, and Chloe. We ask how they grew to be confident in their identity, what being Korean means to them, the history of South Korea sending missionaries, how Gen Z in South Korea can return to God, what they appreciate the most about Korean Culture, and what parts of their culture are Kingdom and represent the Father's character. If you are interested in attending our next cultural dinner, email us at info@perspectivesww.org and we'll be happy to connect with you.   YouTube: The Perspectives Podcast Website: perspectivesworldwide.org IG: @PerspectivesWorldwideinc Josue IG: @ButtermanJosue Chase IG: @whereischaseabrown Grayson IG: @GraysonHuskey Intro Song: "Places to See" by Lani Rose

Dr. Kim Kyung-jin was born in 1936. He grew up in Manchuria speaking Japanese at school, Korean at home, and then Chinese in the street. Before class, all students had to face Tokyo, bow, and pledge their allegiance to the Japanese empire. He said he would see people dead on the streets on his way to school, overdosed on opium. He was also there when the last Chinese emperor, the boy Puyi, passed through in 1943. Everyone was meant to bow and avert their eyes but he reckons he had a good gander. When the second world war ended in 1945 and the Russians were coming into the area, the Japanese ordered them to retreat so they got on a train headed South towards Seoul. He left his dad at the station and never saw him again. About 10 years ago, a local historian tracked down old news reports from the 1930s and 1940s that featured his dad so he could remember what he looked like. When they got back to Seoul, he started his hobbies of ice-skating, rugby, and singing. He went to school but the Korean War soon started in 1950 with the North Korean communists invading. While the communists ruled Seoul, he survived by teaching new recruits to the North Korean army patriotic songs (otherwise they'd kill him). He still remembers those songs and sings one of them for us. After that, as the war changed direction, he got picked up by the Americans because he could help them translate road signs in English, Japanese, and Korean. He followed them because they had better food and they were nice to him. Then, in 1960, the war had ended and the country was struggling to become the democracy it is today and there were national demonstrations trying to kick out South Korea's first president. Dr. Kim was downtown in Seoul at the famous protests all kids today learn about in the books when he was shot in the arm by a Korean policeman with an M1 rifle. Still has the scar and he showed me it today. Pretty ironic that he survived the Russians, the Japanese, the North Koreans, and the Americans, and it was eventually one of his own, a South Korean, that shot him. He lived through colonization, war, and dictatorship but he still smiles, laughs, and has a super positive outlook on life. He speaks multiple languages. He has done a Masters, a PhD, and has been the conductor of an orchestra for the past 40-odd years. He reckons he walks 13,000 steps a day to stay healthy. What a dude! Absolutely floored me. Big thank you to Professor Sam Denny (Associate Professor, Department of English Education at Sangmyung University) for arranging this for us and joining us on the podcast.

Whether you're a fluent Korean speaker or barely capable of uttering 안녕하세요, this episode is for you! Kicking off our new series on cultural topics, K-Pod pays a visit to Young-mee Yu Cho, Rutgers University Professor of Korean Language and Culture. As co-author of the widely-used textbook series Integrated Korean, Cho has shaped how Korean language is taught in the States today. She dives into all of Catherine and Juliana's questions, including: What are some Korean words that don't exist in English? Why is Korean so hard for English speakers to learn? Is Han really the defining characteristic of Korean culture? Should we be spelling 떡볶이 “Dukbokki,” “tteokbokki,” or “teokbokki?” What's up with the one-syllable names? How has the language changed from the time our parents immigrated? And finally… why are Korean mothers always telling us that we might as well kill ourselves?

K-Pod is back! To kick off Season 5, co-hosts Catherine Hong and Juliana Sohn present a special two-parter. First, they preview the upcoming season, which, as they explain, will look a bit different this time around. Instead of focusing on the lives of individual artists and creatives, they'll be chatting with experts on a range of Korean American cultural topics. The first of these episodes will focus on language; other episodes in the works will center on Korean cultural traditions and celebrations, Korean American mental health and traditional Korean medicine. (Bet you didn't know that Juliana's dad made her and her sisters drink deer blood!) In part two of the episode, we take the time to get to know our co-hosts a little better.  Juliana and Catherine discuss being moms of halfie (sorry, “biracial”) children, Juliana's family's reaction to her divorce, Catherine's dad's touching 87th birthday and the importance of preparing legacy portraits. Bonus: check out the YouTube version to see Catherine's dog sauntering around her living room. CREDITS Co-host, Producer, Photographer: Juliana Sohn https://www.instagram.com/juliana_sohn/ Co-host, Producer, Editor: Catherine Hong https://www.instagram.com/catherinehong100/Audio Engineer: AJ Valente https://ajyval.myportfolio.com/ Executive Producer: HJ Lee Production Manager: Young Sun https://www.kimberlyyoungsun.com/  KoreanAmericanStory.org is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization whose mission is to create and preserve the stories of the Korean American experience.
