Explore " korean culture" with insightful episodes like "Catching Up With Michelle Li", "pride edition: being serenaded by lesbian jesus, bi awakenings, and committing to the bit", "The Language Episode | K-Pod | Ep. 32", "Catherine Hong & Juliana Sohn | K-Pod | Ep. 31" and "3.16 - A Conversation with Professor Ernabel Demillo" from podcasts like ""Seattle", "Nineties Babies Nostalgia", "K-Pod", "K-Pod" and "K Drama Chat"" and more!
Michelle Li famously created the Very Asian Foundation after a viewer in St. Louis sent her a racist email telling her to “keep her Korean to herself” and of being “very Asian” after she mentioned on-air that she enjoyed eating traditional Korean dumpling soup as part of a New Year’s tradition.
Here, she discusses her love of Seattle, her surprise that her experience went viral, and how the experience increasingly shapes her life.
Our irregularly scheduling programming will return soon, but first, a Pride 2023 edition brought to you by XO, Kitty, Paramore, and Hayley Kiyoko (aka lesbian jesus). This is a very special episode for us, as we got to talk to you about some of our favorite things, namely queer media that brings us joy and the religious experience that is live music. We also got into what it means to really embrace the experience of life and some of our insecurities. We so hope you enjoy the episode and are having an incredible pride!

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.

We’re in between seasons 3 and 4! Today, Joanna has a conversation with Professor Ernabel Demillo, Department Chair of the Communication and Media Culture Department at Saint Peter's University and host of the Emmy-award winning "Asian American Life" show on CUNY-TV. We talk about:
Next week, Sung Hee, Joanna and Jeanie (Sung Hee’s sister) will talk about K Drama elements, Korean language, and why subtitles on K Dramas often don’t quite match what’s being said.

Chicago chef Beverly Kim has forged a path marked by independence and an acute sense of fairness. Growing up, she heard murmurs of disappointment from her traditional Korean parents about not being born a boy (her name was already picked out: David). Beverly set out for culinary school to prove her worth and worked in some of the best restaurants in Chicago including Charlie Trotter's. It was there that her sense of fairness was awakened. She sued over issues surrounding pay — and won. She has also taken on the fight to make the industry a better place for working mothers through her non-profit The Abundance Setting. Listen in to hear about Beverly’s road to acclaim, self-sustainability and inspired food.

In this episode, we will discuss speech styles and speech levels (again :), this tiime with a question from a student, based on a situation from the drama, 힘쎈 여자 도봉순 Strong Girl Bong-Soon.
Examining the speech styles and levels in different situations will help us experience the dynamics and emotions at play and help us get an intuitive feel of Korea's language and culture. Sounds interesting? - Let's get started!
In the part three of the podcast's K-Pop Deep Dive, we discuss the inadequacies of the K-Pop industry specifically as it pertains to underage idols and talents. In particular, we shed light onto the lyrics of Park Ji Yoon's "Adult Ceremony," question the age of new girl group "IVE," and argue that trainees are mistreated and perhaps shouldn't debut until they're older.

In the second instalment of the podcast's look into K-Pop, we talked about the beauty standards perpetuated in K-Pop and by K-Pop and how it reflects public sentiment and society. Is plastic surgery feminist? Where does colorism come from? What's up with entertainment industries dictating how bodies should look like? We try to answer these questions in this episode.
In the pilot episode of the podcast's deep-dive into the problematic aspects of "K-Pop Culture," actual listeners of K-Pop music discuss relevant issues including the consumerism and capitalism promoted in the music industry, the parasocial relationships fostered in K-Pop, as well as the so-called cancel culture found within fandom communities. They also discuss specific incidences such as the allegations surrounding ex-members of AOA and Lucas of NCT. Whether you're a K-Pop fan or just someone who's heard of K-Pop, this is an episode full of interesting points about the human psyche in general.
Who is a translator fan and why are they so important? In this episode, we describe the politics of translator fandom, and discuss the Indian fans translating Korean content into regional languages.

Talking The Power of Nunchi is the topic of this week's episode. What is Nunchi? Korean born and raised people know Nunchi as the art of instantly understanding what people are thinking and feeling, in order to improve your relationships in life. It emphasizes using all your five senses and the all-important sixth sense, as well as speed, and listening twice as much as you speak. In 2019 Euny Hong introduced the world to The Power of Nunchi with her New York Times' best selling book, The Power of Nunchi. Taekwondo Life Magazine's, Marc Zirogiannis, discusses Hong's book, The Power of Nunchi, and how this intuitive skill set can help the Taekwondo practitioner in their life, martial arts practice, careers, and, even, their sparring. This is not a paid endorsement. To purchase Euny Hong's Best Selling book:
