    Back to School: True Education & Nostalgic School-Gate Snacks

    This week on Arirang Travel Diaries, we are heading back to school to mark the end of the spring semester and the start of summer vacation! We will look back at school memories—from report cards and hagwons (cram schools) to emailing professors about grades, and the nostalgic snack shops right outside the school gates. Next, we will dive into the hit Netflix series Vigilante (True Education) to examine the breakdown of teacher authority, school violence, and the ongoing debate surrounding juvenile offender laws. Finally, we will wrap up by treating ourselves to some classic comfort foods: tteokbokki, sundae (blood sausage), fried snacks, and the ultimate convenience store recipe combinations.

    JSA, Divided Brothers, Border Memories, and a Day Trip to the DMZ

    This week on Arirang Travel Diaries, we take on the Korean War through Park Chan-wook’s JSA – a film that proves sometimes the most dangerous thing at the border isn’t a weapon, but friendship. We’ll talk about 6.25, separated families, televised reunions, and why Korea’s unfinished war still lives in memory, media, and everyday life. Then we head north of Seoul for a DMZ day trip through Imjingak, Dora Observatory, the Third Tunnel, and Paju’s surprisingly delicious borderland food scene.

Finally, we head to Sangam-dong for a travel route through Seoul World Cup Stadium, Peace Park, Haneul Park, and nearby places to eat or watch soccer.

    Seoul's Han River

    Murky Waters, River Gangsters, Merchant Dreams, and a Sunset Ride on Seoul's Han River This week on Arirang Travel Diaries, we explore the river that made Seoul possible—the Han River. From Joseon-era ferries, merchants, and river gangsters to Disney+'s historical drama 탁류 (The Murky Stream), we examine a side of Korean history rarely portrayed on screen. Then we return to present-day Seoul to ride the new Han River Bus and discover how this ancient trade route is once again becoming part of daily life.

    Local Elections, Kingmakers, Honest Candidates, and Daejeon’s Campaign Crossroads

    This week on Arirang Travel Diaries, Korea’s June 3 local elections shift our focus to campaign trucks, city halls, local councils, and the power of the voter on the street. We look at Kingmaker, a sharp political drama about the strategist behind the candidate, and Honest Candidate, Ra Mi-ran’s comedy about a politician who suddenly cannot lie. Then we head to Daejeon, the symbolic heart of Chungcheong — Korea’s famous casting-vote region — where campaign symbolism meets gukbap, Seongsimdang bread, and old-downtown cafés.

We look at On the Verge of Insanity and The Dream Life of Mr. Kim, two sharp stories about surviving corporate life. Then we head to Dongtan and Gwanggyo, where tech campuses, lake parks, cafés, and after-work dinners shape the “company town” lifestyle.
