Is Jeju too expensive? | Episode #25

On this episode of Me, You & Jeju, Darryl Coote and Alexis Joy discuss how expensive Jeju has become for tourists and locals a like (0:00).

During Jeju Dialect Corner, teacher Ju Young Han schools Darryl and Alexis on the very useful catch up before she schools him in how to say 제라지다 (jea-la-gi-da), which approximately translates to “very” in English (13:16).   

Then Darryl and Alexis give an update on the recent controversy surrounding Jeju 4.3 and this year’s 75th anniversary memorial ceremony for the tragedy (21:50).

And finally, the pair speak with Kim Jiho, owner of the JGEC’s Motif Jeju, which is so much more than just simply a coffee bar — it is the “living room” for all those who live on the island. 

During the interview, Jiho tells Me, You and Jeju that he used to be a tech entrepreneur before becoming a proprietor of Jeju’s Motif. And that he is a published author, having written a book about his experience catching COVID-19 early in the pandemic.
