How To Korea - Episode 15

Join us today on another episode of How to Korea, the best podcast in South Korea, where we tell you what it takes to live in South Korea. In today's episode, we start by talking about a very controversial topic, dog meat. We talk about the reasons for why people consume it and the background behind how it became a source of food for South Korea. We then briefly mention a new coffee shop that's been popping up in Ulsan, "Galvat" and the amazing flavor of its coffee. As usual, we react and respond to the comments to our videos (Thank you for the comments, regardless of the nature) and speak briefly about forex trading, stock trading and the Bitcoin/Ethereum and meme coins boom in South Korea. With summer coming up, we discuss the popularity of ice cream in South Korea although it seems that it's popular all-year round, not just during the summer and then we dive into some hilarious spelling mistakes that Koreans make with food and menus. Our next topic speaks about the blind date and arranged dating/arranged marriage culture in South Korea and how you can experience these first-hand in Korean Dramas or "K-dramas" as they're popularly labeled. A word of advice, anything and everything you need to know about Korean culture, you can learn from K-dramas. (Albeit, a bit exaggerated) We finally discuss MBTI and blood types, and how Koreans are adept at using them to determine the type of person you are and the way it has intertwined into Korean culture.
