Episode 13: Nerd Beauty (Culture)

Release Date:

This week Jun and Daniel explore a conversation Daniel had with his co-worker shortly after moving to Korea that will forever be ingrained into his memory, and was somewhat of a precursor to this podcast: being nerdy. Does this concept exist in Korea, and if so, how does it differ from in America? Is being smart in Korea the same as being cool in America? Who gets bullied in Korea? Does wearing glasses have the same stigma in Korea? What constitutes socioeconomic status in each country? What is the modern equivalent of Korean royalty? How do Koreans feel about being Korean?If you're interested in any of these questions, tune in to hear Daniel and Jun discuss all this and more! This week Daniel debunks a common misconception Koreans have about Japan’s name for America, but Jun gets back at Daniel by schooling him on a famous American scholar.Support the Show.As a reminder, we record one episode a week in-person from Seoul, South Korea.
