Description

You'll find that the structure of this episode, Ep. 30.5, is a bit different from what you are used to (that is if you're a regular listener of our podcast :)  It was recorded in the car, so the audio quality is not going to be amazing to say the least, but hopefully you’ll find something useful and educational. The main points we wanted to get across through today’s episode were idiosyncrasies of the Korean language by examining the semantics and pragmatics of K-pop lyrics.You’ll hear two songs in the background. The first song is “그때 그 아인 Someday The Boy” from the K-drama, Itawon Class, aired in 2020; and the second song is “소리 Sound" from Mr. Sunshine, aired in 2018. (As of now, yes, both of these ARE available on Netflix! )Ok, with those pointers in mind, please enjoy this episode!
