I Took the Long Way is a storytelling podcast for first-generation Korean Americans, GenX latchkey kids, late bloomers, and anyone who felt like they were always one step behind. Hosted by a Korean American from LA who took every detour possible — including too much partying, a surprise military enlistment, and a faith journey he didn't see coming — this show is for the people who found their way the hard way. Real stories. No filter. You're doing better than you think. x.com: https://x.com/itookthelongway

When I was a kid, I'd come home to an empty house in the suburbs of San Francisco, grab my snacks, and flip on the TV. What I found was Bo and Luke Duke tearing through Hazzard County in a bright orange Dodge Charger. Wh
What happens when a full day of small frustrations — bad traffic, a stolen phone moment at the Korean market, a valet, and a gummy bear bag — leads to a blowup you didn't see coming? This week I'm talking about anger. My
There's a tree near Monterey, California that's been standing alone on a cliff for over 250 years — misshapen, weathered, and still standing. It's also the perfect metaphor for growing up Korean American in Los Angeles.
