Ep 28: The Choe Show (최쇼) and You are/I am Enough with Julieta Degese Pt 1
[Spoiler Alert] In this episode of K-Drama School, Grace discusses The Choe Show (FX, 2021) hosted and produced by Korean American artist and former DVDASA podcast host David Choe. Grace invites David Choe to be a guest on her podcast, then dives deep Choe-style and opens up in the most raw way about where her abandonment issues began, molestation, rape by boyfriends, gaslighting from a Korean American church, gaslighting from Korean immigrant parents, why han (한/恨) is contested by Korean studies scholars, how similar The Choe Show is to Korean variety TV shows, psychedelics, therapy, why Grace loves comedians, how Choe is reconstructing/reimagining American masculinity, The Choe Show’s multidimensional multi-media experience, and how Choe is redesigning the way to consume media. Grace then talks to her guest co-host Julieta Degese (@dgcjulieta on Instagram) who admits that she once considered not being friends with Grace, about how insane men behave when they are full of hormones and women reject them, and about the importance of communication.
