This week Jun and Daniel celebrate reaching the one-year anniversary of the podcast, and successfully releasing “1 Korean. 1 American. 1 Topic Weekly.” for the entire duration. Our hosts each reflect on their most recent trips to the US and how the podcast has impacted their experience and understanding of both American and Korean society and culture. How has the mission and vision for the podcast changed since launch? What is driving some of their relative success? How do Americans use their national flag in a way that is different from Koreans? Who does Jun find to be oddly happy in America? What is one small tidbit about America did Jun notice, due to it being discussed on the podcast? What is jarring about the American music Daniel hears in Korea? What is Daniel saying “mission accomplished” to, regarding his time in Korea? How long does it take for a new country to feel like “home”? What is one piece of American culture that Jun still cannot accept? What about Daniel with regards to Korean culture? What are the core root causes of differences between Korean and American society that keep coming up over the course of the podcast? What is one notable missing reason, one that a typical outsider might find surprising? If you're interested in any of these questions, tune in to hear Daniel and Jun discuss all this and more! Also in this episode, Daniel and Jun share similar stories involving their names and North Korea, and rate themselves on the Korean. American. bicultural scale in a very meta fashion.<a href="https://www.patreon.com/koreanamericanpodcast">Support the Show.</a>As a reminder, we record one episode a week in-person from Seoul, South Korea.
