I had my second meeting via Zoom with my conversation partner Suyeol on Thursday, July 16 at 3 pm. During our meeting, Suyeol showed me a YouTube video in which popular Korean actors and singers were interviewed while eating a meal with typical Korean dishes. This video reminded me of the popular American YouTube series First We Feast, so I showed him a video in which Gordon Ramsay is interviewed while eating hot wings that get progressively spicier. One cultural difference we discussed is the forms of respect used in situations such as interviews in Korean and the fact that the equivalents of such forms do not exist in English. We also discussed differences between Korean and American food and that American food is often not spicy enough for either of us.
