In this special episode of the Tavern of the Taegeuk Warriors podcast, our Tavern Contributor Joon Park hosts a conversation about Korean immigration with Namu Yoon, who's been on this podcast before. Namu discusses living in both the US and Canada during his life, the reasons he moved from Korea to North America, and his thoughts on the Korean-Canadian community that he knows so well. In addition, the pair discuss the similarities and differences between the Korean-American and Korean-Canadian communities, bring some nuance to the model minority conversation, and talk about how soccer has shaped Namu's immigrant experience. We hope you enjoy this conversation and are staying safe and healthy.

Tavern Interview Special - Cultural Mosaic Edition

In this special Tavern Interview, our very own Tavern Contributors Bennett Hogendorn and Kevin Kim got together for a very thought-provoking conversation. In this conversation, Bennett and Kevin dig into the identity struggles they faced growing up in Wisconsin and Miami, FL. They gave a relatable conversation about the realities of bullying and how they personally came to terms with it and responded to it. They talked about the reasons why they struggled to learn Korean as children and what they do now to be more in touch with the Korean culture. Finally, they dug into the Korean national team, the reason that these two football mad men were brought together in the first place. It's a conversation you won't want to miss. We hope all of you are staying safe and healthy in these uncertain times.
