Theology of the Internet, Teen Vogue, K-Pop, and Substack: An Interview with Yi Ning Chiu
I interviewed cultural critic and writer Yi Ning Chiu to discuss several of her articles and the stories behind them. We considered how we use or are used by en vogue thoughts and technology, the impact of K-Pop domestically and globally at the individual level, and how each story that goes to print is part of a richer and often more complex narrative.
I’ve been a fan of Yi Ning’s work for so long, and talking to her for the first time felt like talking to an old friend. Check out her Substack, Please Don’t Go, where she writes a monthly essay about life with other people: why it’s terrible, why it’s essential, and why we shouldn’t give up on it. Here are her articles that we mention in our interview:

K Pop Opened Doors for AAPI Dancers Abroad. At home, They Remain Closed (Teen Vogue)
When a Church Breaks (Christianity Today)
