“Koreans are better surgeons because they use metal chopsticks.”
“Korean grammar makes people more emotionally intelligent.”
“Korean relationships are deeper because the language has honorifics.”
You’ve probably heard some version of these before.
In this Fun Sized episode, we look at some of the strangest Korean nationalist myths, where they come from, why people believe them, and how “gukbbong” culture keeps creating new ones.
Inspired by a satirical flyer by Michael Hurt of Seoul Street Studios.
