Jeju seeding hope in North Korea | Episode# 17

Following the show's two month hiatus, Darryl Coote and Alexis Joy discuss the differences between Canada and South Korea in the time of COVID-19, the island's tourism by car and buying virtual Jeju property. 

They also learn a new Jeju dialect word from Jeju dialect teacher Ju Young Han.

And they speak with island resident Rachel Stine, who has been volunteering to help send seeds from Jeju to North Korea. She has been an active member of North Korean activists groups for years and she discusses how others on the island can help.

If you want to help send vegetable seeds into rural North Korea, you can join our next workshop on Sunday, Jan. 30, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m, in the Global Education City. We meet in the Onggi Cafe off the 151 (red) and 255 (blue) bus lines. 

Then she informs the pair that she is the photographer behind an iconic picture taken of people protesting the 2017 Seoul Queer Cultural Festival. She has turned the image into an NFT with the purpose of selling it and putting the proceeds toward a South Korean LGBT+ youth nonprofit.
