IKAA, Han, and a whole lotta Nutz

In this week’s episode of your favorite Korean Adoptee podcast, the Janchi Boys are back in the saddle and talking all kinds of business! We dive into Patrick’s trip to Korea, dealing with loss of personal histories, the concept of Han and its associated feelings, and navigating a birth search. We also talk about the IKAA Conference, Korean food, and silly moments from the trip. 
Later, we try some nuts. It’s……..wild!

The Janchi Show Quick BioWe’re three Korean Adoptees spread out around America and each of us are at different stages in life. We’ll talk about the Korean adoptee experience from our perspectives and learn more about our shared culture, usually with food. And it won’t just be the three of us; each week we’ll have other adoptees from all over the world joining us to talk about what makes us similar and what makes us unique. So join the party!
