Episode notes
On this week's episode, Benny sat down to talk with Cheon Shik Yang (Jeff Van Damme), a Korean adoptee living in NYC and immersing himself in the art and beauty of hanboks.
Cheon Shik (@yang_cheon_shik) explains what initally attracted him to hanbok-wearing on a daily basis, and elaborates on how doing so helps him feel empowered as a Korean to be closer to his Korean heritage.
Actively involved in the Asian arts community, Cheon Shik shares some advice on how to best authentically connect with and "revel in" one's culture.
