Why is mental health still so stigmatized in Korea — and how is that finally starting to change?

In this episode, we explore how Korean culture, history, and K-pop idols are shaping conversations around mental health. From spiritual possession, to psychiatric reform, celebrity advocacy, and shifting generational attitudes — we unpack it all.

✨ Topics:
• Traditional views on mental illness
• Hwa-byung & suppressed emotion
• Suicide rates & stigma
• How idols like SUGA & RM are breaking taboos
• Hope, healing, and what’s changing
