  My Korean office mate said moving his family abroad was the best move. No stress from constant comparison, in-laws, high property costs, stressful education, work hierarchy.. and they enjoy Korea as tourists when they get homesick…

  On the issue of why is it so hard to be single in Korea, Kelsey got it right.... it is because some people lack self love and self worth and they need another person to make them feel whole.  Self love and knowing your self worth is very important.

  I respect Kelsey and Anna for knowing exactly what they want despite Korean societal pressures. Seeing Kelsey being so chill is weird! That’s my girl! 🙌🏽

  As a half Korean/American who grew up in Korea and had a lot of traumatic experiences with societal/family expectations, guilt/shame and more, this was the most comforting convo I’ve heard

  Everything they said about education I 100% agree with. It's all about ego stroking amongst the parents while the kid suffers and ultimately the parents could have just invested the money and their kid would be way ahead of their peers financially instead of stressing over a limited amount of jobs that most kids aren't even going to get. This is what I exactly said to one of my parents.

  I was like Kelsey and Anna. I did not want to have children. However, I became a mom at 47 through adoption. I was married for almost 20 years to a wonderful man. Our priority in the marriage was not to procreate but to enjoy life together and obtain legal protection. Now I find myself being a single mom after my husband died. Being a single mom would have been my worst nightmare in my twenties or thirties; however, it is manageable at this stage of my life. For reference, I am Korean American.

  Watching MBTI take over the blood type role in Korea in the last few years has been wild 😂 That was a test we did in US middle school back in the mid 2000’s

  As an Indian, I can relate to it all. 💯 I think parent’s involvement, gender roles and other such customs is same all over Asia.

  David, excellent first episode. The chemistry between all the guests with their candid unique perspective as young Koreans was entertaining and insightful.  You did an excellent job of facilitating and participating. I enjoy learning about Korean culture from Koreans and I value the diversity of opinions. I look forward to other guests, interesting topics, and overall a good podcast! Let us know how we can support your podcast!

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKFfeI7vKBU&amp;t=1317">21:57</a> they&apos;re getting more married in third world countries because they don&apos;t have the economic and financial freedom to survive otherwise. I&apos;m from a third world country and trust me people see marriage as a ticket out of poverty or a better life than they&apos;re currently living. They don&apos;t even want wealth they just want to not starve
