Welcome to Broad Abroad: the travel podcast that explores the world with curiosity. 🌍✈️ In Season 2, I flew across the world in the dead of winter to uncover the real South Korea—from K-beauty to the DMZ, street food to K-pop, and everything in between.🎧 Episode 2: Korean Beauty & Military Service – Glowing Up and MoreSummary:From $60 Botox to K-pop controversies, this episode of Broad Abroad is more than skin deep. I’m Katie, and I let Korea freeze my face and melt my double chin (for science and for content). Then I sat down with Koreans to ask why looking good is mandatory—and so is the military. We talk BTS enlistment, Yoo Seung-jun’s dramatic downfall, and how beauty standards shape identity.
