Summary

Mic Nguyen (Asian, Not Asian Podcast) joins Feeling Asian this week to discuss his inter-Asian marriage to his Korean wife and how her family disapproves of their marriage, which interestingly makes it the most Korean soap opera-y marriage ever. Mic unpacks the nuances of their disapproval, as well as the challenge of living within a perpetual familial rift. We also chat about how Mic never felt like he fit in with most Vietnamese-Americans, his incredible fashion sense, how Asian men are all secretly yolked and hot import nights! Brian talks about how he didn't want to record the podcast this week and Youngmi admits that most of the guys she sleeps with don't actually skateboard despite what her online persona might suggest. Listen to Mic's podcast Asian, Not Asian on all streaming platforms. Follow him on Instagram at @nicepantsbro. Follow us at @itsbrianpark, @ymmayer and @feelingasianpodcast!
