During her career she has interviewed and worked with some of Korea's biggest stars. We discussed the nature of fame and celebrity in South Korea. We also explored the media's role in all of this and how social media has affected both the way we consume information and the way we view others' lives. Lina also talks about the challenges of being a woman in the industry, particularly in terms of unequal pay and a glass ceiling.
