In 2026, what's actually winning?

Yo, things are shifting underneath all of us. The world is moving faster than our ability to make sense of it 🤦🏻‍♂️ AI rewriting industries overnight, information splintering into a thousand contradictory feeds…and ...

What city should I visit next? 🌎🌏🌍

Yo, Zhuangzi, the celebrated Daoist philosopher, once suggested, "The fish seems happy in the water. But does it know why? And does it even matter?" That thought has stuck with me for years. We rarely recognize the...

Can you name the third song (a Turkish record) I used in this video? 😁 Also, what city feels like two worlds 🌍🌏 at once for you? 🤔

Yo, for me, it's 🇹🇷 Maybe it's the way the call to prayer echoes over a rooftop rakı session, or how mosques 🕌 and ni...

[Jaeki Cho @jaekicho]

Name the movie theme songs I borrowed for this piece. Also, which city makes you feel like you're in a movie?

Yo, for me, it's 🇭🇰 Probably 'cause I don't speak Cantonese, the moment I landed, hopped in a cab, and heard the driver's rapid-fire chatt...

Is K-pop a genre or a system? 🤔

Yo, I've watched K-pop evolve from local pop music to a global system. Back when it was just another regional export alongside J-pop, which honestly looked like it had the bigger runway at the time.

But music, like f...

Where should I go for 2 nights? 💭

Yo, I'm heading back to Mainland China 🇨🇳 for the first time in nearly 8 years. Last time, I spent time in Chengdu 成都, enjoying Sichuan heat and honest flavors. This time it's Shanghai 上海, Hangzhou 杭州, Shenzhen 深圳, ...

Does the "best" film 🎞️ actually win the Oscar? 💭

Yo, the irony of PTA's speech is that the probably needed him more than he needed them. Fourteen nominations over three decades. By the time they finally said yes, the win validated the institution ...

Is watching films 🎥 at home better or worse than the theater?

Yo, somewhere between streaming algorithms and AI-generated everything, think we forgot what it felt like to sit in a dark room with people we care about and watch something that's memora...

[Jaeki Cho @jaekicho]

Yo, so my interest in Iran 🇮🇷 started in 2002, when President Bush called it part of the "Axis of Evil." What I found was a civilization with thousands of years of history. From the Persian Empire, to Britain securing Iran's oil in 1901 (which became...

Which squad you repping in the ? 🌎🌍🌏 Drop your team's flag in the comments 👇🏼

Yo, I never played Little League. Truth be told, I still can't swing a bat or throw a baseball correctly 😅 But baseball was always around me, even if I mostly observed fro...

What originally brought you to this page?

Thanks for the pushback 🙏🏼 So I'm not bashing math 😅 If anything, I'm jealous of folks who are nice with it. It's more about hoping traditional education does more to connect theory to real-life decisions. I try to contextualize it as clearly as I ca...

What did school NOT prepare you for? 💭

Yo, while I was shoveling snow, I thought…we spent 12 years learning formulas I can't remember before college, but somehow had to figure out credit scores, APR, and compound interest on our own 🤷🏻‍♂️ Sure, it's...
