Episode guide:

* 00:00 - 03:30: We introduce Seoul-based interviewee Edrian Dy and learn about how he moved to SoKor

* 03:30 - 18:00: SoKor D-8 visa: what is it and who is eligible for it? We talk about the process of applying and the documents needed for this visa, application timelines, and changes that have been implemented since COVID-19. Also, what industries could non-Korean speakers get into? 

* 18:00 - 46:30: All about South Korea's society and culture. We talk about the country's language and cuisine (for one, is samgyeopsal as commonplace in Korea as we think?), and also dive deep into its work culture and societal issues. Hanguk is a largely homogenous society - how does this impact foreign workers?

* 46:30 - end: Is the grass greener in SoKor?
