Episode 8: Everywhere Bagels (Trends)

Korean. American. Podcast

This week Jun and Daniel explore the phenomenon of how things become “trending” (viral) in Korea. You may have heard of the honey butter chip craze back in 2015, but what are some more recent food trends that went viral in Korea? You may have heard of screen golf, but what other popular sport has Korea turned into an indoor screen game? What does Daniel believe are the three ingredients for a sport or hobby to go viral in Korea, and does pickleball fit the bill? How do viral trends in Korea and America differ, and why?
If you're interested in any of these questions, tune in to hear Daniel and Jun discuss all this and more! This week we also learn what an “open run” is, one of Daniel’s favorite snacks, and why it’s easier to get BTS tickets in the US than it is in Korea.
