City Comfort vs. Country Reality

How Modern Life Shapes Our View of Nature

In this reflective episode of The Jung Studio Korean Podcast, we explore how people who’ve lived their entire lives in cities experience complex emotions toward the countryside. Why does nature often feel like something we idealize, yet also fear?

The episode unpacks ideas around convenience, predictability, and systems that define modern comfort — contrasted with the untamed, unpredictable, and sometimes uncomfortable world of the countryside. It touches on themes like environmental disconnection, the illusion of “perfect nature” we see in media, and how city living may dull our sensitivity to small, real beauty.

Whether you’re a Korean learner, a city dweller, or simply someone curious about human-nature relationships, this episode invites you to pause and ask: what kind of nature do you truly long for?
