If you're interested in understanding the unique challenges and perspectives of Korean Americans, hearing thoughtful responses to listener feedback, or learning about Korean society's relationship with efficiency and luxury goods, tune in to hear Daniel and Jun discuss all this and more! This week Daniel also shares his healing moment from a supportive blog comment after a difficult experience, while Jun offers insights into Korean society's complex relationship with Korean Americans and challenges some common assumptions about cultural differences.
