We talk a lot of dope stuff! In Part 1, we talk about the ethnic/cultural identity side. Growing up in America when people didn’t even know about Korea What it means to be Korean or Asian-American Comparing our struggle to our parents’ generation’s and not taking pain personally Being able to laugh at our past traumas with the healing power of perspective and comedy Me turning to Jesus (lol) for my identity due to my identity struggle Trying to fit into Korean society, to “become more Korean” and realizing I never will be, and that’s okay Korean-Americans are like McDonalds bulgogi burgers. Not quite Korean food, not quite Western. Encouraging some diaspora individuals to explore their roots to find out who they are Coming to peace with one’s ethnic/cultural identity How some people don’t even like to speak Korean when they get in a taxi cab Being gracious towards people who don’t understand where you’re coming from Follow Danny: @dannychocomedyDanny Cho's YouTube  The Noonchi PodcastFunny in Korea | Danny Cho | TEDxKDISchoolSupport the show
