Almost Korean: Korean American Identity, Reverse Culture Shock & Life in Korea | Pilot Episode

What does it mean to be Korean American but not feel completely Korean or American?

Welcome to the very first episode of the Almost Korean Podcast! 🇰🇷🇺🇸

Tae and Gibson introduce themselves and explain the story behind the name Almost Korean. Both are Korean Americans who grew up in the United States after spending part of their childhood in Korea, and they share what it's like to live between two cultures.

They talk about Korean American identity, reverse culture shock, racism and cultural misunderstandings, moving back to Korea as adults, and what it's like living near a U.S. military base while experiencing both Korean and American culture every day.

This pilot episode sets the stage for future conversations about Korea, America, culture, identity, food, family, relationships, and everything in between.

이번 에피소드에서는 Tae와 Gibson이 자신들을 소개하고 “Almost Korean”이라는 이름을 왜 선택했는지 이야기합니다.

또한 한국에서 미국 군부대 주변에 살면서 경험하는 독특한 한국과 미국의 문화가 공존하는 환경과, 앞으로 Almost Korean Podcast에서 다루고 싶은 다양한 주제에 대해서도 이야기합니다.
