Living Room Pod

The time has come to invite our orangest guest yet into the Living Room: Patrick Kyung. This 동네친구 is all in at whatever he gets himself into and this episode is no exception. We discuss his childhood days at Beechwood, the bullying and cold shoulders Chun gave him at Sunny Hills, his rise to ASB presidency, and the lifestyle he adopted better known as FPU (rice and beans, beans and rice). Lots of laughter here and just an overall good time spent with an FPC lifer before he makes his way back up to the Yay Area.

So, take a seat! Lean back, take a deep breath, and exhale. Close your eyes (unless you're driving!) and enjoy another episode of LRP!

We welcome another member of the prestigious Fullerton Fruit Loops to the Living Room this week: Michael "Fat Mike" Shon. Chun realizes for the first time that he has known this 동네친구 for over half his life and we dive into his life story. He shares (not talk!) about transitioning from his early plans for a business career to pastoral ministry, the long story long about how he met his girlfriend Helen, and a current family update that caught everyone off guard. Needless to say, this episode is... TOUGH.

So, take a seat! Lean back, take a deep breath, and exhale. Close your eyes (unless you're driving!) and enjoy another episode of LRP!

What do you get when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? That's exactly what happens in the Living Room this week as our guest shares her story. Tiffany Sky Kim is one of the very few people in the world that can match Chun's energy and 빙글빙글 level. Another of our very public supporters, this 동네친구 shares about her origins in the East Coast, her profession as a dental hygienist, and of course, the importance of family in one of the toughest moments of her life. Definitely a rollercoaster of emotions in this one.

So, take a seat! Lean back, take a deep breath, and exhale. Close your eyes (unless you're driving!) and enjoy another episode of LRP!

We have an absolute doozy of an episode this week. Jessica Shin, the artist formerly known as JKWON, joins us in the living room to share her story. This 동네친구 is not a casual! All throughout the conversation, both on and off air, she dropped moments and inside jokes... It was kinda weird...

We talk about the generational meaning of her Korean name, our memorable first encounters, people-pleasing tendencies (which Chun resonates with HEAVY), along with her many, many accomplishments : - P It's a prolonged convo that took place over multiple days (!!!), but we're sure that you guys will all leave wanting more.

So, come on in! Lean back. Take a deep breath and exhale. Close your eyes (unless you're driving!) and enjoy this episode!

The second episode of the second season. We got a good one for ya'll. Our guest in the living room is none other than Scott Yang. For those that don't know this 동네친구, Scott is lowkey and like an onion: many layers and many tears. We touch upon his celebrity co-worker (okay, maybe boss), his TOUGH upbringing walking to school, extremely sophisticated conversations regarding future plans, and, of course, the toughest moment of his life.

We also have some fun fan interaction (FFI), an extremely tough QOTW, and a producer that joined us for this session. So, come on in, lean back, take a deep breath, exhale, and enjoy this episode!

We're back.

After a hiatus in the month of July, we pick up right where we left off and examine the story of the other half of LRP. Our guest in the living room is Daniel "Whole World" Chun. The 동네친구s get a little more in depth about who Chun is, why we deflect, and the significance of ranch, among other things.

We've also made some changes: new song, new weekly segments, new schedule. But one thing that will never change about the Living Room is the focus on our neighborhood stories.

So, come on in, lean back, take a deep breath, exhale, and enjoy the first episode of season 2!

We welcome back two LRP alumni, Grace Park and David Ju, as we finish out this inaugural season of the pod! Due to various circumstances, the 동네친구s will go on a short hiatus to regroup, regather, reprepare, and reenvision the future of LRP. This is a straight Living Room session as the four friends yap about all sorts of wacky and zany things. 

Thank you to everyone who has supported us this far! We never thought that it would go this far and it's all thanks to ya'll! We'll be back with more neighborhood stories soon~

We have a curveball for ya'll this week. Our guest in the Living Room (if you can call him that) is none other than one half of the hosts: Daniel Shim. For the first time, Chun and Shim record in person and the shenanigans are off the charts. Chun grills Shim and asks unexpected questions that deviate from the normal script and the two 동네친구s share many laughs. Come on in and enjoy the raw, unfiltered conversation between the two!

We're back and we have a good, good friend of ours join us in the Living Room this week: Sylvia Kwon! This 동네친구 has been a good 누나 (older sister) to both of us and drops some extremely tough nuggets of wisdom as she shares her story. We talk about her childhood in Washington, the importance of family, and exploring her different passions in this jam-packed episode. Relax your shoulders, kick off your shoes, and enjoy our conversation! (Shoutout Tim Hoonie!)

Our guest in the Living Room this week is none other than Kevin "Hezhong" Qi! This 동네친구 is completely transparent as he shares about his unique experience growing up in El Monte, his passion for his career, and the importance of family in his life. LISTENER WARNING: this episode is EXTREMELY, INDUBITABLY, OVERWHELMINGLY tough... Get comfortable, get your tissues, and get ready for this episode as Kevin shares his story and insight with us all!
