Retour JOUNG Frank

Freelance journalist from Berlin
JOUNG Frank

Frank Joung is a freelance journalist from Berlin. He has worked for several daily newspapers, magazines and websites such as Spiegel Online.

Frank was born and raised in Germany but his parents have migrated from South Korea. In his Podcast “Halbe Katoffl” (Half Potato) he talks to people who are German but also have different cultural and national backgrounds. The Conversations are loose, witty and authentic and will focus on biographical anecdotes and everyday life stories. Something that is missing in today’s mass media.

“I would like to show that behind every classification or labelling there is a human being”, Franks says.  “And behind every stereotype there is a story. And we tell it.”
