[Ep.15] Puffier or More Defined After a Workout? Korea's "No Talking" Courtesy & 회식 Culture

This week, Michelle and Sewon take another break from talking about books (sorry, we need one more week before diving into Taiwan Travelogue) and instead share stories and reflections from their everyday lives. Although Michelle meets new people through her swimming classes and Sewon through her yoga classes, neither of them tends to strike up conversations with fellow participants. Could this be a uniquely Korean way of respecting personal boundaries? As coworkers, Michelle and Sewon also chat about workplace dinners (회식), work meetings, and the social dynamics that come with them. Curious to hear where the conversation goes? Stay tuned!
