Korean. American. Podcast Episode 30: Petiquette (Pets)
This week Jun and Daniel discuss our favorite furry friends, and explore the differences between pet culture in Korea and America. Our hosts discuss their experience with having or interacting with pets in Korea, and how pet culture mirrors society at large. Like many things in Korea, there are stark differences across generational lines. How were pets treated in past generations, and how has that evolved in modern Korea? What are some of the most popular breeds for dogs in Korea? What are the native Korean breeds of dogs? Is the rise in pet ownership somehow related to the declining birth rate in Korea? What is a common interaction with dogs in America that Daniel really misses?
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, Jun shares how he went from being a dog-person to a cat-person, his favorite dog breed, and other personal, funny, and insightful stories from his childhood that makes Daniel realize they had many similarities despite growing up in very different environments.
We hope you enjoy listening to our conversation, and we're so excited to have you following us on this journey!
