🎧65. I Said I Was Taking a Break. Here’s the Whole Story.

Yes, I did say I was taking a break last week. And yet, here I am in your feed again. (Life comes at you fast, especially during the summer.)
In this special, highly personal episode of Understanding Korea, One Story at a Time, I am sitting down with a cup of coffee to share the honest story behind my summer hiatus. No formal essays today, just a warm, behind-the-scenes chat about what happens when life, parenting, and independent writing collide.
Read the companion newsletter here: I Said I Was Taking a Break. Here’s the Whole Story. (yoonjiwon.substack.com/p/summer-pause-2026)This week’s newsletter and podcast cover almost the same ground, so there’s no need to do both unless you want to. Choose the version that fits your day: read with coffee, listen on a walk, or save it for later.
This is truly the final episode of Season 1.
See you soon for Season 2!
