Loved this episode as always! As someone interested in Korean history I think several topics would be interesting to cover: -South Koreans’ view of North Korea and North Koreans, maybe even invite defectors for a chat and their experiences in the South. - Older generations experiences of growing up in Korea in the 70s/80s/90s and comparing it to now, I know quality of life has improved drastically and their have been huge technological developments in such a short period of time, I think the discrepancy between the younger generation and the older generation could be very interesting Then maybe a lighter but more interesting topic could also be about the spread of Korean Culture, why are people so drawn to everything Korean now? Of course the simple answer is K-pop and Kdrama but loads of other countries have their own variations of music and tv shows, why is specifically Korean culture so popular these days?
Great seeing all of you own this show . how do you feel about model thru out Korea has it become better like more contract , also Jenny park is also a current model will she be on as well anytime soon
I love when they're like "here's the pictures" and they don't actually put the pictures in the video lmao they really said "lets run the AI video podcast editor and upload as is" 💀
But doesnt this kind of point out that unless you are atteactive, good looking foreigner your experience in south korea will be better because they fit “ beauty standards”? No hate but there is some truth to this, in the beginning of the podcast even David introduces everyone by there profession which involves physical appearance. I mostly just wish this was talked about or atleast someone addressed the elephant in the room. Looks can only get you so far, it takes talent and personality to get there but yall are seriously gorgeous talented people 😂
Love your show, great guests, and so informative. I'm NOT hitting on you, but I don't understand why you can't fine your mate. You seem to be such a great guy!
Went to The Original Pancake house (by Lotte World) for the first time ever this month and almost cried at the real chocolate chip pancakes and real bacon (wish it was a lil more crispy tho)
This episode was extremely entertaining and interesting. I wonder what the opinions of older foreigners might be. Not those who have lived in Korea as "lifers" but those who are older and just arrived. The job scape for those who might not be interested in the entertainment field and what those options might be and what their happiness index would be. EDIT: I understand that this might not be as interesting of a topic but it is something I have been curious about.
Great episode. My mother and I am visiting Seoul next month from the States. We're Black Hallyu fans. Looking forward to it. Keep up the great work, David!
Love this podcast for myself it's been helpful. However I will say that literally everyone's experience is different. We(foreigners) need to be careful not compare ourselves to other people.
I think it has alot to do with how open minded you when you're abroad and also who you surround youre self with, if you only Hangout with negative people you will more likely see everything in negative light
I was lucky enough to visit Seoul in 2018 for 10 days with my best friend, and we loved it!!! The people, food, history, nightlife, architecture, shopping, street food, etc are all amazing! There were a couple of downsides, but most of it was positive! I have missed it everyday since and I cried in the car a little bit as we were driving to the airport 😂 I hope to make it back there soon - planning on it for the BTS comeback 💜
Community REALLY makes or breaks the experience here as a foreigner. When I felt I had a close community, I was so happy in Korea and thought I’d stay here forever. Sadly, shit happens and now I definitely feel like my community is thinner/more shaky, and I’m probably leaving Korea because of it :( If you wanna come to Korea, definitely make an effort to find your people. It will make such a huge difference
I did a lot of research about being black and Korea so the starting was a little frustrating but overall so many Koreans were so kind and friendly. I loved my 2 weeks there and I miss it. I didn't think I would fall in love with the country. It's on my small list of places I MUST return to.
Facts i loved my vacation in Korea but the lack of salt killed me lol. I am still traumatized with ordering a garlic parm fried chicken and it was sweet lol. But the majority of foods i had were bomb and i miss the cafes.
I always enjoy your podcasts and I have been planning a trip to Korea but everything I see or hear about is for people half my age. What happens to people when they hit 40?
Hi David, I enjoy your show so so much. I love the topics you cover and your guests are interesting. I am a middle aged Female American living in Hawaii. I was there in March/April for a month's stay. I LOVE Korea. And I do entertain the idea of moving to Korea. As an X-Pat. lol Actually, I am a happy American, but I love the idea of immersing into another culture. The country of S Korea made me feel very at home. It. was a natural feeling to be there, and I want to go back. Do you have any links of resources or contracts/ groups that I may check out to connect with Americans living in Korea? That would be amazing. Thank you for this great show. I love KPC!! :)
You wanna talk about safety and danger in America, a marine formed a militia with other marines throughout the country to grape and impregnate women in states that banned abortion. They were equipped with military grade gear to target victims efficiently like night vision goggles. A cop in NY even bought him an assault rifle in support… The man was released from prison last June. Stay safe ladies.
I agree that having a support system is incredibly important. Unfortunately my entire system left back to their countries shortly after I arrived. So I need to find these events 😂 because I haven't been able to find any Koreans that are welcoming yet 😅
Catfishing is a deceptive activity in which a person creates a fictional persona or fake identity on a social networking service, usually targeting a specific victim.The practice may be used for financial gain, to compromise a victim in some way, as a way to intentionally upset a victim, or for wish fulfillment. But sometimes it’s just to look way better on dating apps, but then you meet this person and realise they don’t look anywhere near their profile pic
I love that their happy, however realistically speaking I don't think I would be able to live for a long time in Korea. First and foremost because entertainment is not my passion and from what I've seen that is where the majority of jobs are besides teaching that are available for foreigners.
I waited a year to visit SK and we ended up cutting our trip short and left for Japan bc it was a very disappointing experience. I love the culture but we knew it wasn’t going to get better. Think it…no I know it was the area (we stayed in the business district). I’m going to try again next year (perhaps closer to Itaewon). This post made me want to try again. I will try again. I love the culture too much not to give it another chance.
I love the vibe of this podcast! I don't plan on moving to Korea, but I'm interested in the culture, obviously thanks to K-dramas and BTS (hi ARMY! 💜) I'm foreigner myself, living in London and I find cultural differences all the time. What I'm jealous of is your sense of safety, like guests pointed out. I would definitely like to visit Seoul, so fingers crossed I'll have that opportunity in the future. Can't wait for the next podcast. 💜💜💜
I wanted to know more about foreigners raising children in Korea. After all the horror stories about the strict education system or extreme bullying cases, if those are true, this would be the biggest dealbreaker to permanently move to Korea with my family for me.
I am a korean learnjng english. Shannon is sooooo beautiful cute and adorable !! when she smiles, I smile. when she dances, she reminds me of an angel! Saw many beautiful US girls, but she is the no1 in my mind
for me, Happiness is being around people you love (like a normal sane family n relatives n friends) special get togethers are the best because these memories are unforgettable, the great conversations.. the joy the food.. all that experience shared w/ people you love.. is the true form of happiness one can ask for. I love this podcast, you guys have a great time and i love to see you guys talk about interesting subjects. I like David's professionalism, i sometimes feel he could work for the BBC the way he tackles subject.
when i visited there i was kinda gobsmacked by how much racism there was after traveling asia for 6months i got virtually none as im asian, then the moment i spoke english their faces went to disgust and said no no 70% of the time, friendliest plp in korea where the foreigners lol. took a flight to vietnam and spoke to 2 old vendors and they were laughing instantly which i never got in korea in a month there, also korea had worst asian food koreas confucianism= if your different (same as a school bully) YOU need to change to fit with them, but if your a different race or have mental illness theres no way to be the same, hence why theres no mental health in korea. why you have most suicides in world
I wonder if you guys have lived in another country aside from SK so that u'll have a point of comparison of ur level of happiness, safety, food and so on...like living in SK vs living in Japan as foreigners sth like that OR maybe this will be another topic for another podcast ....well, hope u visit or try to live in Singapore, HK, Taiwan and other countries then make a video and do the comparison. BTW, u guys are so good-looking
15:34 I really tried to find what she was talking about in every type of spelling and I can't find it cocon, kocon quoicom, cocom, Kocom ... and I can't find it. Does anyone know?
@@erzamoon715 Thank you so much I think that’s exactly what she was talking about now that I looked it up. I was trying to figure out if it was Korea and Communication together to make a new word but I was completely wrong. Thanks for the help
I love the podcast! It’s nice seeing the reality of Korea but also the fun part of living in a big city like Seoul. I hope I can visit the country soon and have my k drama moment doing a picnic 🧺 😅
Hearing your stories, I want to try moving to Korea so much, but without a degree and a proper job, money, and place to stay. (realistically seen) - is difficult :I
If I knew then what I know now. I would have left the states and moved to a foreign country, even if it were just for a few years. Maybe in my next life! 🫶🏽😘
@@abena8339Too many responsibilities at this point. But, since I work 100% remote for a global org, I can spend spend several weeks a year working from different places around the world. Thanks for the encouragement!
The most shocking thing this podcast has ever revealed was Vaughn and Rene married! Before I realize they were joking. I would be shocked to see a black married couple moving to korea.

Lovely episode. You are so beautiful, Renee. I'm looking forward to visiting in the next few weeks.
I definitely plan to visit next year and spend at least a few weeks there working remote.
Nah nah that voice thou

This was a good episode. Renee is so beautiful…flawless skin, gorgeous makeup and beautiful hair.
aww thank you so much 💖
This is one of my favorite episodes!! Thank you David for creating this podcast. The guests and topics are always so amazing and refreshing 🎉
Renee's makeup is so gorgeous her smile really lights up a room 💓
Since Korea is so looks-oriented even in the employment realm, I wonder if the consensus would be different with people who are not models :)
Thanks for having us, always such a vibe 🔥
Thank you for coming Vonn! You’re always welcome :)
You are so positive and radiant Von❤

How was your experience/visit/life in Korea? Were(Are) you happy?
I was lucky enough to visit Seoul in 2018 for 10 days with my best friend, and we loved it!!! The people, food, history, nightlife, architecture, shopping, street food, etc are all amazing!

Why I ❤️ KPC. Talking about real issues and real life. Always interesting ! Guests are so nice!
Great show. I would've loved to hear why Koreans aren't as happy in Korea
Will do next time!
Its Because korea is still only country in the world still divided

Nice and interesting video. Would be nice to know in advance who the guests are for the particular program
Great panel and episode. Well balanced with 2 males and 2 females

🌹🥰my whole heart. thank you!
The guests are so nice. Such good personalities 😍
🥰 🥰
Please have Renee back. I love her. I have seen her on other shows and I enjoyed it.
That means so much to me! thank you for the consistent love!
Wan and Renee and Yuta are such sunshine 🌞 ☀️ ❤🥺
PLEASE! I’m 74 and I need a translation. WHAT is “being catfished”?!
Catfishing is a deceptive activity in which a person creates a fictional persona or fake identity on a social networking service, usually targeting a specific victim.The practice may be used for financial gain, to compromise a victim in some way, as a way to intentionally upset a victim, or for wish fulfillment.

this is refreshing to hear
korean police won't kneel on your neck
The safety part is so true, cause I go to the gym daily at 11pm. Which I wouldn't do back in SA.
Teachers have a lower happiness level.
Loved this episode. Your guests were so wonderful. Loved the stories, of their lives in Korea 🧡🧡
I like Shannon she's funny and cool
Von should be a regular

Renee has the Korean annunciation and tone down to a tee, even in her spoken English.
Around 15:50, Renee named a language exchange. What is it called again?
Shannon is suuuuuper pretty, my goodness!
