Ep 21: Hello My Twenties! and Cannabis Kimchi with LJ Kim

[Spoiler Alert] Tobias Hauser (@hahahouser) makes a guest co-host appearance to answer some flashcard questions based on Hello My Twenties (2016, JTBC). Grace discusses Hello My Twenties and the representation of believable female protagonists, as well as Minari (2020, Lee Issac Chung) and why Brad Pitt should kiss Youn Yuh-jung’s feet in addition to the polarized reception between Korean audiences and Korean American audiences. Grace reflects on her trip to New York, and the return. She trashes Iris.fm and Riverside.fm, and their terrible customer service. Grace then has a chat with musicology PhD candidate LJ (Il-jung) Kim (@iljung.kim on Instagram) who is at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. They discuss Buddhist chants, sacred rituals, shamanism, stigmatization of addicts and empathy for them, hip hop, Korean hemp, pansori, channeling the bodhisattva, being a contemporary philosopher, and more.
