Gloria and Ksenia decided to choose for today's program a really interesting topic - Honjok. What does it mean?
Honjok is a combination of the words hon (alone) and jok (tribe), is about the celebration of the individual over the group. It is often used to describe a generation that supports independence, solitude and singleness, particularly as a reaction to the interdependence of today’s world and the expectations set by Korean society.
