korean culture, as far as i can tell, is defined by the drive to succeed, a churning engine fueled by decades of han. a remarkable ability and remarkable willingness to anticipate the future. it reaches back across time, binding millennials and generations long since passed. last time i was here i was working for some other network, the bacon channel, the competitive eating channel. what was that old show called again? it was so long ago. back then i was dragged around in nari's powerful wake, as i recall. that was nearly a decade ago. things have changed since then. i've changed and i'm guessing nari's changed, and korea, korea has certainly changed.
