Despite Korea having a record-low in birth rate(0.7, 2023), certain store owners are not allowing kids/children to enter their stores. Parents with kids are upset about the matter claiming that it is discriminatory. However, the majority of Koreans seem to think 'No-kids zones' are ok and is the freedom of the store owner. Many argue that this type of freedom is a slippery slope, as we have seen other kinds of entrance restrictions towards certain ethnicities and minorities in the past. In today's episode of KPC, let's debate about whether the 'no-kids zone' is ok or not.

Korea is the land of high standards when it gets to appearance and beauty. The beauty pageants in Korea can be super competitive as well. Miss Korea is the most prestigious beauty pageant in Korea which boasts a long history. While there might be criticisms against beauty pageants in the modern era with issues of objectification, extreme beauty standards, etc., Miss Korea is still very popular among many young women. In this episode we invite former and current Miss Korea winners and talk about the pageant and what they felt throughout the contest.

Korea might be pro-America on almost all matters, except maybe 3 things: Drugs, Guns, and TIPPING. American tipping culture has been getting out of control in the United States, where the standard has become 20-25%, according to several news sources and Americans. Ironically, the American tipping culture has been slowly infiltrating the Korean society. And we're not talking about small store owners putting up tip jars or recommending tips to their servers. The biggest tech conglomerate of South Korea, Kakao Corp. has introduced the tipping system to it's taxi services, similar to Uber. This has faced immediate backlash and rage from the Korean public. In today's podcast episode of Korean Pizza Club, we introduce the history of tipping in Korea, Korean viewpoints on tipping, and the panels Kelsey the Korean, Anna Lee, and Soobeanie share their thoughts about tipping culture and whether it will be adopted by the Korean society eventually. What are your thoughts about American tipping culture, and what is the situation related to tipping in your country?

Korea is well known to have an intense education system and English takes a big portion in it. Koreans try so hard and pay so much money into English education. However, many foreigners say that many Koreans shy away from speaking English with them. Why is this? Our guests, who are all fluent Korean and English speakers try to explain the reason to this.
