Before 2023 ended, I taped an episode of They Call Us Bruce, the podcast helmed by Jeff Yang and Phil Yu. It was the first time I’ve been on an American broadcast where we were all Asian Americans.
The episode I was on released today, so I wanted to share it here:

What’s up, podcast listeners? We’ve got another episode of our podcast They Call Us Bruce. (Almost) each week, my good friend, writer/columnist Jeff Yang and I host an unfiltered conversation about what’s happening in Asian America, with a strong focus on media, entertainment and popular culture.
In this episode, we close out 2023 and welcome critic and commentator Jae-Ha Kim to talk all things “K” — from K-dramas to K-pop, and all the other ways Korean pop culture has spread its infectious K-embrace across the globe. We discuss the best K-dramas of the year (according to Jae-Ha), what happens when BTS takes a break for military service, and the recent tragic death of Lee Sun-kyun. I also admit — nay, declare — my love of NewJeans.
For more of my thoughts on Lee’s tragic death, check out my appearance on NPR’s Weekend Edition Sunday. Host Ayesha Rascoe and I talk about what led up to his scandal here.
