Thank you for taking our feedback into account Danny! I definitely appreciate the news segment being included in the podcast. This format is much longer than all your other podcasts, probably because you have 3 news pieces with 2/3 songs each, and then a new music recommendation section. I would suggest adding timestamps...? Although I dont know if this breaks the "flow" of the intertwined music and musings that you envision. Just a suggestion from someone who noticed that this podcast was much longer than usual. I dont know if you would be keen to theme your music podcasts according to genre, as I noticed that the songs featured today seem more similar in genre compared to the previous upload. Of course, this is just another suggestion. All in all, I think whats most important is for you to figure out what kind of material you hope to create. Also I enjoy seeing you introduce yourself as a DJ to your wider audience and I hope this will expand the DKDKTV audience. Wrt Nth room adolescent crime, I think it is important to understand what is the role of the boy in this organised crime. I am assuming the group was working together to facilitate such crime to happen, and everyone would have a role. If this boy was not aware of what were the full consequences of his actions under whatever role he was assuming and was simply following orders under an older boy, then should definitely be taken into account. I do not know legal systems enough to comment further, but I do think it is oversimplifying the issue to assume that all persons involved are equally guilty.

In Germany I heard this word being sometimes used for TVs (before flatscreens arrived). Although not Korean music I can recommend everyone the Japanese rock band "The Oral Cigarettes". Have fun discovering :)

2020-04-09 14:27:41 +0000 UTCI really love this format. I especially love the integration of current events. I watch another YouTuber (현동이채널 HyeonDong). He recently started an additional channel to address current events in Korea. In that channel’s first video he discussed a juvenile justice related case in Korea where a few youths stole a car and ended up killing someone during their joyride from Seoul to Daejeon. If I remember right, those youth were repeat offenders. I live in Utah, USA and work for the Governor’s Office, Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice. Because of this, these types of issues are interesting to me. Juvenile justice is a complex issue in any country. Studies in our country have shown that harsher punishments for youth put them at an increased risk for recidivism. There’s also the issue of youth (and all ages) who are persons of color (non-white ethnicities) facing disproportionate treatment in the harshness and frequency of their punishments here in the US. The struggle to figure out the best way to handle youth who commit serious crimes (like the young Nth Room perpetrator) and/or other repeat offenders is still being worked out globally it seems. I’m going to increase my pledge to support the continuation of Seoulscapes. Keep up the good work. I’m loving this content.

2020-04-09 14:25:13 +0000 UTCDanny_Ho, Steve_Ho here, Damn I was just starting to get used to "Radio Thingy" lol but SouleScape is WAY better. OK so great music tonight. My favorite was first out the gate, Chocolate. Excellent song. Also loved the new format. First up is "kid criminals". With "dirty old men" its easy, they are adults and responsible for their actions. But, "horny young boys" is something else. Both the age and the type of crime need to be taken into consideration. If a young boy does not have a culpable mental state to understand that what he did was criminal instead of over active hormones, then it will be difficult to find him legally guilty of a crime and punish him. But u can't just let him go either. He has to be removed from society and placed in a secure environment until he becomes an adult where he can receive therapy and training in order to become a responsible adult. Just because he has a rotten childhood doesn't give the right to be a miserable adult. Perhaps he was never taught to behave properly. It's a tough call and we have the same problems in the US. Next, weed legalization. There are so many arguments because everyone gets affected differently. I've seen the ravages of drug abuse up close and its a serious problem. Some people are mildly affected by it and others developed a tolerance and graduate to harder drugs. Many argue that alcohol is worse. My view is that, with all thats going on, the last thing any society needs is another crutch. Too many people are to willing to blame everything and everyone else for their problems instead of taking personal responsibility for their actions. Legal weed will simply be another crutch to explain away someone's bad behavior. I think we have enough of that already without having to add to it. Next, the North Korean. Here is a guy who lived his whole life in system he didn't choose and is willing to give up everything and everyone he has ever known, including his own name, to choose to live in a free society. People born into a free society usually don't appreciate what they have until they lose it. This guy may turn out to be the champion of a free society because he knows from personal experience what its like to lose it. I'd say give him a chance and judge him by his actions and not by any prejudices. Finally, as i have come to expect from you, another job well done. I like the new format over the radio thingy. I'm still a fan of the podcast since it engages the listener more. However, I will be tuning in to the new format and hopefully, from time to time, you will still produce the podcasts. Again, good job, hoe !
