In this episode, we chat about the rise of Korean culture in Western culture, including increased interest in k-beauty, Korean food, and idol culture. We end the episode with a quick chat about the overall increase in Asian American perspectives in film and TV, and whether that was in parallel to or fueled by this new wave of Korean culture.
