When we say 'Korea', so many paradoxical images come to mind. While North Korea predominantly continues to stay isolated from the rest of the world, South Korea has made a significant global impact in the last few decades. But in this episode, keeping aside all the paradoxes, let's get to know Korea a bit differently through their thousands of years old culture, oral storytelling tradition, and a unique folktale. Happy Listening!!
