This week Jun and Daniel explore Jun’s first time meeting his mysterious next-door neighbor, and generally discuss the differences between how Koreans and Americans view human connection. Why is knowing someone’s name a big deal in Korea? What do Koreans think of small talk? How does the size and composition of social circles differ between the two countries? How should you respond if a Korean comes up to you and starts talking to you? How will Koreans respond if you just start talking with them?

If you're interested in any of these questions, tune in to hear Daniel and Jun discuss all this and more! This week we also touch on Daniel’s quest to get to know his neighbors, a fun fact from the Joseon era, and Jun’s awkward nightmare.
