Episode 91: Canadian Multiculturalism, Maknae Life, Hell Joseon and Kimchi Poutines ft. Byeong (iyagi)


Listen Later

This week Jun and Daniel welcome their guest Byeong, a Korean Canadian who shares his unique cultural journey growing up in Toronto, working in Hong Kong, and now living in Korea. Through exploring Byeong's experiences as a "third culture kid," our hosts dive into fascinating discussions about Canadian multiculturalism, the concept of being a "freeloader" younger sibling with fewer parental expectations, and the privilege of being able to opt in or out of Korean culture as needed. The conversation touches on topics like Hong Kong's changing identity, the evolution of the "Hell Joseon" mentality in Korea, and how different immigrant communities form their identities abroad.

If you're interested in understanding the nuances of Korean Canadian identity compared to Korean American, exploring how Canada's multicultural foundation differs from America's melting pot, or hearing thoughtful perspectives on navigating between cultures, tune in to hear Daniel, Jun, and Byeong discuss all this and more! This episode also features discussions about beautiful travel destinations in Canada, the origins of the term "Hell Joseon," and Jun's revelation about his parents' surprisingly relaxed expectations of him as a second child.
