This week Jun and Daniel discuss some notable news headlines from July 2024. What led to the scandal surrounding popular mukbang YouTuber Tzuyang, and what does it reveal about Korea's entertainment industry and cyber bullying culture? How significant is the recent Supreme Court ruling recognizing same-sex couples' rights, and what might it signal for LGBTQ+ progress in Korea? Are Gen Z workers really more outspoken about workplace issues, and how does this reflect changing work culture across generations? What are "cyber wreckers," and how do they impact Korean online culture?

If you're interested in any of these questions, tune in to hear Daniel and Jun discuss all this and more! Daniel also shares insights from his recent U.S. trip, while Jun offers perspectives on evolving Korean societal norms. The hosts explore how traditionally conservative issues are changing in modern Korea, examining cultural contrasts and sharing personal perspectives on these timely topics.
