Good morning, afternoon, evening—wherever you are! We’re a writer, PhD student and Korea Studies scholar who live (or have lived) in Seoul, South Korea and love talking about all the little things that make culture and people so fascinating. Our starting point is Korea and different things that shape Korean culture, but we’ll branch out to more in the future—so stay tuned. And grab your coffee: we’re here for a cozy conversation.

    The One About COVID

    The One About COVID

    COVID-19 surged more than 3 years ago, and as strange as the pandemic was, people can easily forget the virus situation's singularity as time passes. The Mix Coffee members decided to record our COVID experiences to not only remember the facts but to talk through how we felt and seek support from one another. I hope we can all remember the pandemic as a time when we found new ways to support our loved ones despite the uncertainty and distress many of us felt.

    In this month's episode, we discuss the kinds of musicals that perform well in South Korea, how we think the peninsula would receive the Broadway musical, "KPOP," and the practice of performance as "understanding the other." Let us know your thoughts!

    The Art of Flow

    The Art of Flow

    Go with the flow, (if you can find it.) Entering a state of flow, or immersing oneself in a single task without a thought to the passing hours, might seem impossible within societies that demand we fly from one responsibility to the next. Does our resulting "divided" attention damage our ability to connect with our work and with each other? Can we live in a world where both flow and overflow coexist?
