아프리카인과 한류| The One with Chulu Chansa – On Africans and Korean Entertainment: Episode 30 (2021)

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents

 

Africa is a beautiful continent with rich and diverse cultures. We are bursting with stories, but our global impact has had a minimal reach. Chulu and I reflected on our childhood memories as Africans, the evolution of media, and our shared love for Kdramas. Way before The Squid Game garnered the cross-national status it has gained, Chulu and I have more than two decades' combined worth of experience indulging in Korean entertainment. The Squid Game is one example of Korean entertainment's broad reach and acceptability, and we are excited about this.

Chulu Chansa, this week's guest, is a Zambian podcaster, a writer of modern African culture & lifestyle blog, the host of the Africana Woman podcast, a transformational speaker, and mentor. She joined me on this episode to explore the different aspects of the entertainment industry and mostly Korean entertainment.

In this episode, we talked about our favorite shows and what we love about Korean dramas, what African countries can learn from Korea, and the potential of boosting tourism and cultural explorations in Africa via a boon in the entertainment sectors.

Though the views we expressed in this episode are subjective and can change, this episode is generally entertaining, insightful, and nostalgic. It's also a testament that when someone from the southern part of African meets another from the West, it's always a fun time!

Are you a Kdrama lover as well? Have you ever considered learning the Korean language?

 

Best,

Mo!
