Haenyeo on the big screen, Yemenis on the island | Episode #11

In Episode #11, Darryl Coote and Alexis Joy have a surprisingly deep conversation about "Everglow," a Korean melodramatic love story about a 70-year-old haenyeo and a 30-year-old documentarian.

Then they introduce Teacher Han Ju-young, who will be taking over Jeju Dialect Corner for Lim Hyun Jeong.

During her inaugural lesson, Ju-young teaches Darryl and Alexis to say 제기제기합써, which means "hurry up" in Jeju dialect.

Jeju has also been in English-language news after the local government organized a trip to the island to cover its advancements apart of its Carbon Free by 2030 project, and the paid talk about what this project means for the island.

Adnan, a member of South Korea's Yemenis community, also comes on to discuss issues facing those who came to Jeju from the war-torn country three years ago in search of refugee as well as his burgeoning film career. 

And to end the episode is the song Soul (I believe) featuring Jeju-based musicians Jason Lisko, Maggie Crosset, Zach Bardon and Brad Wheeler.
