Hosts Sug Shin and Dan Chung talk about the practical and bizarre use of English in everyday life in South Korea. This has essentially created a hybrid language that North Korean refugees must learn. Dan was fresh off the plane from his trip to South Korea to teach North Korean refugees some key Konglish words to North Koreans there and he goes into detail about what he saw and how vital it is for North Korean refugees to learn this new use of the English language. The two hosts get into the similarities between Konglish and "Janglish," which is used in Japan and furthermore, the use of Japanese words in everyday Korean language. They also get into Korean words they wish were adopted into American culture. Support the show
