How is South Korea trying to help its recluses?
The government hopes money will persuade young people out of their homes
The government in South Korea hopes money will persuade young recluses out of their homes. Hannah Gelbart talks to 麻豆社 reporter Hyunjung Kim in Seoul.
Also in this episode Lizzo is being sued by three of her former dancers over claims including sexual harassment and fat shaming. The 鈥楢bout Damn Time鈥� singer is known for celebrating her body and self-love, so this has come as a surprise to many. This got us thinking about body shaming around the world.
We hear from fat activist James O鈥橦agan in Ireland, and Esther Ogola in Kenya. At the time of recording Lizzo hadn鈥檛 responded to the 麻豆社鈥檚 request for comment.
