Ep 44: JAY Returns to KOREA - So Soon? YES... Cheongju to Jeonju, Sewol Sadness & more

In episode 44, which was recorded a few days ago and just before leaving for South Korea, Jay not only elaborates on his 'sudden Spring' over to South Korea and it being the 10th visit to Korea in 12 years, but also speaks about why he chose to do this.

You'll hear how Jay, having only left Korea in Winter [2023] & now revisiting less than 4 months later in Spring [2024, intends to spend his next few weeks - or maybe a couple of months - in Korea.

Not only are there details of various places on Jay's list, like Cheongju, Seoul, Busan, Jeongju and Jeju Island but also reasons for choosing those places and how some of these opportunites arose.  On top of that, you'll also find out about film festivals, Korean film as well as regarding Korean culture in other countries - these include Korean-related events & topics from the nearby countries of Thailand and Vietnam!

Lastly, but something which plays a large part in this 10th trip of Jay's to Korea, is the subject of the 10th anniversary of the Sewol ferry tragedy.
