    NoSoKoPo EP 50: DAEGU & V.I.P. ('Verney Important Person'?!) in Daegu (대구) with Chingu (친구)...?
    Nov 20 2025
    In this 'on the go', rambling but real episode (a 50th, milestone!), Jay speaks to you from the surroundings which are that big city known as DAEGU (대구) where he was invited to, by not one but two of his art-related friends... and much of this episode was recorded on the last full day in South Korea, 1st November 2025 (yes, the day before I would leave, that being 2nd November* and also the day Jay was in 3 Asian cities in 1 Day: Daegu, Seoul and Chiang Mai...!)*That date of 2nd November was ALSO the exact same date I would leave Korea a year before [2024].This visit to Daegu marked Jay's second visit - his first being about 12 years ago [2013...?] - and just like the last one it's a rather short visit, albeit managing to do quite a lot over 3 days / nights... and these things include:- Visiting the Daegu metro memorial- Visiting the Daegu Arts Centre- Meals with friends / artists- A little sight-seeing- The KTX train there, and back (always a great experience in Korea)Things NOT touched on but will touch on in the future:- 'Daefrica'- Spotting an actual rollercoaster... soon after using the phrase, "rollercoaster" - Safety park elsewhere in Daegu, related to or started due to the Metro Disaster in 2003. - My hotel - will cover later on- Being approached by a well-known church group- Did I catch that Korean film?- Reboking my KTX return train!Jay also touches on the reasons for being in Korea on this particular trip, and indeed it being his 12th time in South Korea! Yes, this includes mention of his feature documentary [SEWOL: Sealed Eternally With Our Love] having its Korean Premiere in Seoul, at the lovely "Seoul Whistler Film Festival".[NOTE: As always, a version of this episode will also be available over on our fairly recently created @notsokoreanpodcast YouTube channel - please feel free to subscribe to that!]FURTHER INFODetails about subjects covered or touched on in this episode and recent ones can be found below.Photo Bienale / Daegu arts centre :https://daeguartscenter.or.krhttps://2025.daeguphoto.com/en...10AAAhttps://www.facebook.com/10AAA...http://www.10aaa.co.uk/?fbclid...METRO (safety park):https://www.daegu.go.kr/safe11...Sewol:https://rememberingsewoluk.wor...https://www.facebook.com/Remem...https://www.instagram.com/sewo...Jason Verney's "Reparation":http://www.Instagram.com/Repar...
