Afternoona Asks | Gen-Z Seoulite views - An interview with Haeji

Haeji, Sarah's tour guide from her Gwangjang Market night tour in Seoul, joins us this episode to talk about life in Seoul in the era of Hallyu. We get her perspective on accessibility for people with disabilities, LGBTQ+ life, feminism, and drinking culture in Korea. We discuss what hot topics are for young women in Seoul right now and also talk about the centrality of Seoul to Korean life. In our Korean language section, we have fun learning some slang.

What is Afternoona Asks?

Annyeonghaseyo! We are Grace and Sarah, Asian KDrama fans who love to ask, and hopefully find answers to, all of our (and your) Asian drama questions. We cover everything, from silly topics to sensitive and serious issues that come up as we binge.

We'll also share some Korean and Chinese language tips, as well as our experiences as diaspora Asians living in the UK and US.

Afternoona Asks ND:
Quirky, partly queer and quite late diagnosed, we are the Afternoona Asks ND (neurodivergent) squad - Sarah, J and Fran.
J is Canadian bringing up her ND family in Australia and is late diagnosed autistic.
Fran hails from Germany and is ADHD/Autistic.
Sarah is a British Chinese and part of a mixed NT/ND family.
We're here for straight talk, standing up for representation, breaking down stereotypes and challenging ableist perceptions.
If you've want to explore the Autistic and/or ADHD experience via Korean and other Asian dramas you've come to the right place.
We're here to discuss all kinds of neurodivergencies with a dose of scientific research and our own lived experience sprinkled on top.

Join us as we delve into the details and societal context of the dramas we all love!
