Just dropped our special episode on school bullying!

We talk about about the recent scandals, the reality of school life in Korea, and how to deal with it as fans when our faves fail us.

We were joined Professor CedarBough Saeji, who you may know as ‘The Kpop Prof’, and she had a LOT of insider insight to share, and covered the topic with a lot of breadth and depth. If you have an hour, do listen!

Check out the blog post for the fancy links and references here.

    That you can be sued for defamation (and tarnishing someone’s reputation) even when you can prove that you’re telling the truth is so fundamentally messed* up.

    Thank you so much for another excellent episode! I loved being able to learn a bit more about what is happening in real life. It helped me see bullying from a more macroscopic perspective, as a systemic and structural problem. It also led me to reflect on the positives of a hierarchical society (e.g. respect for elders, mentoring relationships between people of different ages, etc.) and then the challenges that these hierarchies pose, especially within a competitive society, which CedarBough Saeji addresses. So much food for thought!
