Disoriental

Henry talks about being gaaaayyyyyyy, focusing on the difference in the Asian American vs. Korean perspective on gender fluidity and homosexuality. Kari gets a lesson in 'pouring drinks according to your age' culture in Korea. Kari is also gay and gives her perspective. Youngmi misgenders Henry and then spreads misinformation about how it's 'illegal' to be gay in Korea before doing a simple google search and realizing that is not true. Don't forget we have bonus mini episodes on patreon!! patreon.com/disorientalpodcast. thank you for listening.

Disoriental is an Asian culture podcast hosted by Kari Ferrell (Activist, Writer, Producer, Author of You'll Never Believe Me), Youngmi Mayer (Comedian, Author of I'm Laughing Because I'm Crying), and Henry Bae (Celebrated Drag Performer, Fashion Designer and Creator) self-proclaimed 'Jail Asians' who feel ostracized from their cultures for being adopted, gay, biracial, tattooed, convicted felons, and worst of all- artists. These three rejects say the shit the 'Church Asians' are too afraid to say because their parents will disown them, since they've already been disowned by their parents. Join us every week to get DISORIENTAL.

Kari leads a conversation on Korean-American identity by sharing her story of being adopted into an all-white Mormon community in Utah, leading to a Disoriental deep dive. Henry and Youngmi discuss the Korean phenomenon 'Wangtta' (outcast child). Please support us on patreon.com/disorientalpodcast for bonus weekly material!
