Almost Korean Podcast is hosted by two Korean American men in their early 40s living in Pyeongtaek, South Korea, near a U.S. Army base. We talk about life in Korea as Korean Americans—where culture, identity, and expectations don’t always line up. From living near a U.S. military base to raising a family in Korea, appearing on Korean TV, creating content, and navigating marriage, fatherhood, social issues, and Korean pop culture, we share honest conversations from the in-between. Real talk. Lived experience. Almost Korean.
