Listen now
Description
In the second part of Krissi's Soju Sessions, we discuss a clear shift in parenting styles from when we were young, kids acting out on planes/in public (and a solid Christopher Moltisanti reference) and asking v telling kids to do stuff. We also discuss some more ridiculous Chat GPT searches (and people who talk to it graciously (this week's poll)), the idea of Gyemoim (communal saving) in Korea and Krissi's NY Times front page article. There's also bits and pieces about the changing the political landscape in Korea, Noraebang (karaoke) brothels and life in Daegu v Busan. As always, something for everyone. Get on it.
