Description
In this episode, we chat with a young Korean-American expat about what it’s been like re-integrating into Korean life after moving away as a child. We discuss working life in the Korean movie and K-Pop industry, pushback from Korean parents for moving back to the motherland and being stereotyped by Koreans. We also get into the pathetic level of Korean amongst *most Westerners (not you Jimmy), working with Korea’s biggest K-pop group, brutal ajummas calling you fat and the strict dietary requirements of K-pop stars. Something for everyone, as usual. Get on it.
