Heritage and Hallyu | Growing Up With Korean Parents feat. Tammi
In this episode of Culture In Between, Tammi tells us about the stories that her parents shared about what life was like for them in their home country and what she feels gets lost in the intense popularization of Korean entertainment. She also talks about how knowing the Korean language helped her understand her heritage and deepened her relationships with her family back in Korea.
