[ZamZamPod] EP.3 – 카공족, 자유인가? 민폐인가?

In this episode, we introduce the Korean film The Match, a story about the complex relationship between a legendary Go master and his genius student. Even if you’re not into the game of Go, this film offers a deep look into Korean culture, respect for teachers, and emotional tension between tradition and talent. It’s a great way to learn more about Korean values through cinema.
