Episode 20: There’s A Korean App For That (Technology)

Korean. American. Podcast

This week Jun and Daniel explore the various websites and applications used in Korea compared to America. What are the popular websites and apps across the two countries? Which are the same, and which are different? How did the internet and internet culture evolve in Korea, and how did it differ from America? Is the iMessage blue check mark a thing in the land of Samsung? How did Korea come to have its world class internet infrastructure? Why doesn’t Google Maps work in Korea? What are mom cafes?
If you're interested in any of these questions, tune in to hear Daniel and Jun discuss all this and more! Also in this episode, Daniel talks about his struggles to sign up for Korean apps, and muses about what his life might have been like had he grown up in Korea, while Jun discusses his first experience with the internet in Korea.
