Today's episode is on Hwarang, a group of elite youth in first millenium Korea who have come to simultaneously represent nationalism, masculinity, and gay love. Join us to learn about the most talented and beautiful men in the Korean Peninsula, enjoy some historical song lyrics about gay love, and hear us discuss about the challenges of approaching queer history across cultures and centuries.
