Ep 91: I Always Felt Like I Had to Prove I Was ‘Korean Enough’”

from Korea Unfiltered

On this episode, we sit down with Korean New Zealander John to explore his journey between two cultures. He reflects on his upbringing in New Zealand, his return to Korea, and the internal struggle of navigating his identity between both worlds. John also shares how enlisting in the Korean Air Force became a deeply personal decision, one driven by his desire to prove to himself and others that he is “Korean enough". Hosted on Acast.
