  • 103 // The complexities of our stories w/Hyeshil

    In this week’s episode of your favorite Korean Adoptee podcast, two of the Janchi Boys sit down with Hyeshil to talk about returning to Korea and what it means to discover your adoption documents aren’t what you thought they were. Hyeshil shares about her upbringing in the Netherlands, what prompted her to return to Korea for the first time, and the reality-altering discoveries she made once she did. They also discuss the meaning of adoption and why we might need to redefine it.

     

    Later, they heal all wounds with a lovely spot of tea.

    In this week’s episode of your favorite Korean Adoptee podcast, the Janchi Boys sit down and talk about the first 100 episodes, the next 100 episodes, and a lot of things in between. Navigating pop culture after coming out of the fog, how we’re thinking about ourselves and adoption in relation to our journeys, other stuff. We get into it. We also reflect on our first three episodes and just how far we’ve come since then.

     

    Later, we do snack. You know what it is!

    The Janchi Show Quick Bio

    We’re three Korean Adoptees spread out around America and each of us are at different stages in life. We’ll talk about the Korean adoptee experience from our perspectives and learn more about our shared culture, usually with food. And it won’t just be the three of us; each week we’ll have other adoptees from all over the world joining us to talk about what makes us similar and what makes us unique. So join the party!
