Episode 51 with 박성환 Sung Hwan Bobby Park
Kia ora!
I first met Sung Hwan a couple of years ago, very briefly, outside Basement Theatre - as you do. He said he listened to the podcast and of course I liked him immediately! Sung Hwan was on the live panel we did for Lunar New Year in Feb, but this is the first one-on-one with me on the podcast. He is a sweetheart and delightful to talk to.
Keeping this one short and sweet, go listen to Sung Hwan’s episode!
Here’s to a great three weeks,
Jenna
