[Hallyu People] "Culture Crunch" DJ Joel spreads different flavors of K-culture to the world

If Arirang TV has “The Kulture Wave” to provide you with your daily dose of K-culture issues at 2 p.m. Korea time, Arirang Radio has “Culture Crunch” for listeners (and viewers alike) to crunch on a different flavour of K-culture everyday, at 11 a.m. Korea time.

For today’s Hallyu People we have invited the host of “Culture Crunch” to our program, Joel Lane! Joel, welcome to “The Kulture Wave”!

1) Joel, you are the new host or DJ of “Culture Crunch”! It’s been around a month now, but as we didn’t get the chance to say it, congratulations! Tell us a little bit about yourself and how you feel about your new role.

2) Please introduce your program “Culture Crunch.”

3) Joel, you’ve had a varied career, as a singer, model, actor, voice actor, broadcast personality, meaning you are deeply involved with K-culture and feel the influence of the Korean wave. What do you think of the hallyu phenomenon?

4) Joel, you were born and raised in the U.S., and started to get involved in the K-entertainment industry in your twenties, I believe. How did you become interested in this world?

5) You also do a lot to promote Korean culture, apart from hosting “Culture Crunch”. Please tell us more about such activities.

6) What do you hope “Culture Crunch” listeners will take away from your show?

7) Finally, what are your aspirations as a DJ spreading Korean culture out there to the world, or is there anything on your wishlist of things you want to talk about or a guest you want to invite to “Culture Crunch”?
