Koreans Are Mormons About Divorce (single mom)

from Disoriental · host Kari Ferrell, Henry Bae, Youngmi Mayer

Youngmi discusses her experience as a Korean single mom. Kari shares her theory that the Knicks doing well played a huge role in getting Mamdani elected (not joking) and how the Knicks solved racism (joking) (0:00). Youngmi leads a discussion about Koreans and their views on divorce when Henry drops the bombshell that their Korean parents got divorced when they were a teenager(17:26). Kari then reveals her Mormon parents also got divorced around the same time. The hosts discuss how fascinating it is that they are children of divorce from two cultures who deem it unacceptable. Youngmi talks about how she expected the Koreans to shame her for divorce but was shocked when she realized her ultra-liberal community in NYC reacted in a similar way(35:15).
