I'm on the radio ma!




This past Thursday I was invited to do an interview on the English radio station here in Busan (Busan efm 93.5) to talk about the chuseok holiday aka. Korean thanksgiving.

I heard about this from the organizer of the Socrates cafe. Socrates cafe is a Sunday discussion group of foriener a and Koreans who come together every Sunday to talk about various philosophical topics. I haven't been going in the past couple of weeks because the weather has been so nice and I went to the beach instead. But the organizer couldn't make it to the interview and so asked me instead to go in his place.

This was a really cool experience and I got to meet the morning show host of morning wave in Busan Catherine. The other interviewees were mainly from toastmasters. We talked about topics such as: "is it fair that women have to do all the work during chuseok holiday?" and "how important is it to observer tradition during chuseok?".

All in all a really cool experience and at the end of the show there was a segment called : letter through the radio. We got to send messages to our loved ones via the radio. I said somethings to my parents back home.

Anyways. Listen to the interview and you can hear me :) it will be aired on Monday October 1st at 7am.

So with this I completed two of my general bucket list items: 1. Being on the radio and 2. Being on TV.

The tv one was from last years busan Kpop festival at gwanan beach in which I was shot on camera dancing before sistar came on. Here is the link:
