In parts of Seoul, clinics stack floor after floor of the same building, and procedures are discussed with a casualness that surprises visitors. We look at how it became normalized — appearance in hiring, media standards, the concentration of clinics, and medical tourism — and we take the criticism seriously too, including the pressure it places on young people and the pushback growing inside Korea. — Hosted by Jacob Lee.

In Seoul you can get a haircut, a meal, a workout, or a new phone case in the middle of the night. The city genuinely doesn't close.

Korean karaoke isn't a stage in a bar. It's your own room, your own friends, and a scoring machine that judges you at the end.
