  • These guys let me eavesdrop on all things Korean😍

    Imagine sitting next two chatty pals chewing the fat about life in one of those tarp covered soju&snack places in Seoul. But I can understand them. I’m listening in because I’ve discovered and love kdramas, kpop and Korean culture. Subtitles leave a lot out, of course. These guys are WONDERFUL. Thoughtful. Heartfelt. Funny. Insightful. And are true friends. They talk about Korean life that I have no other way to know as an older, non-Korean in out-of-the-way Wisconsin. Thank you!
