S3Ep20: "Emotions can be complicated": 한(Han) & Art

About this episode

This episode explores the Korean concept of Han through art and literature.

Welcome to Art Like Everything Else: The Podcast. In this week’s episode we talk about the Korean word 한 (Han) and why I find the word fascinating. I use the movie Mother (2009) and the poems “Remember” and “I, Too” by Langston Hughes.
