Description
In the second part of Yoon-Seo's #sojusessions we discuss the foreigner experience through the eyes of a Korean, Korean being “more than K-pop” and Western individualism Vs Korean collectivism. We also discuss Koreans not questioning an older person under any circumstances, what Westerners could be doing better to integrate themselves and a spot of Western stereotype myth-busting. There’s also some talk about Korea becoming more accepting towards foreigners, Koreans experiencing a type of PTSD when hearing English and the idea of society possibly pushing back against the demand on children. Something for everyone, as per. Get on it.
