Vogue Femme #051

Cho Hyunjee is a dancer, a debater, and a young Korean woman willing to speak up for herself in a society that has often shown a great deal of disrespect to her gender. In this conversation she talks about when she first became conscious of this discrimination and the people who inspired her to rise above it. She also talks passionately about dance as a form of expression, individuality, and culture. Vogue dance in Korea might not be making international headlines yet but she believes it has the potential to grow and grow. We also talk about books that inspire us and some of the things that Korea does get right as a country.   Discussion Outline  0:00 Recognizing Gender Discrimination 12:43 Microagressions and Bias 22:58 The Future and the Job Market 34:08 The Power of Books 44:18 University Life 52:23 Misperceptions and Mental Health 56:12 Korean Vogue (Dance) 1:22:50 Dance Sports 1:34:58 What Does Korea do Well? 1:43:00 Korean Youth   Find Hyunjee online Instagram @hjromy1 Dance sports @la_cha_ta_20   Korea Deconstructed by David Tizzard ▶ Get in touch: [email protected] ▶ Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=62047873 ▶ Watch us on Youtube: /davidtizzard  ▶ Listen on iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/co/podcast...  ▶ Listen on podcasts: https://koreadeconstructed.libsyn.com...  ▶ Music by Kev at Disorientalz. https://www.instagram.com/disorientalz/
