    🎙️ This Korean Life – Episode with Aaron Corn In this inspiring and globally connected episode of This Korean Life, we reconnect with a familiar face to many in Ulsan — Aaron Corn. A former Ulsan resident, teacher, and father, Aaron’s journey has now taken him back to New Zealand, where he serves as a teacher and International Director for John Paul College, one of the country’s most respected schools. 🌏📚 We begin with his deep Ulsan connection — the friendships, lessons, and experiences that shaped his time in Korea. Aaron reflects on how living and raising a family here influenced both his personal life and professional direction.💬 From there, we explore life in New Zealand, what makes it unique for families and students, and how his career evolved from classroom teaching to international education recruitment. He offers powerful insight into what makes John Paul College special, from its academic philosophy to its strong support systems and global outlook. 🎓✨ Most importantly, we dive into the benefits for Korean students — the opportunities, cultural growth, language development, and pathways that studying in New Zealand can provide. Whether you're a parent considering overseas education, an educator curious about international pathways, or someone who simply enjoys hearing how life comes full circle, this episode delivers perspective, warmth, and valuable insight. #thiskoreanlife #AaronCorn #JohnPaulCollege #StudyInNewZealand #KoreanStudents #InternationalEducation #LifeInNewZealand #UlsanLife #ExpatsInKorea #StudyAbroad #EducationAbroad #GlobalEducation #NZLife #KoreaToNewZealand #InternationalSchool #OverseasEducation #KoreanFamilies #StudentLifeAbroad #LivingInNewZealand #EducationOpportunities #StudyOverseas #CrossCulturalLife #ParentingAbroad #KiwiLife #ExpatStories #KoreaPodcast #InternationalStudents #NZSchools #FutureStudents #GlobalPathways

    Episode Notes

    🎙️ This Korean Life – Episode with Alfred “Freddy” Jaeggi ⚓📸

    In this unforgettable episode of This Korean Life, we sit down with Alfred “Freddy” Jaeggi, a Swiss-born technical adviser and marine engineer whose story stretches back to Korea in the 1980s — a time when the country looked dramatically different from today. ⏳

    Freddy offers a rare firsthand perspective on what it was like working in Korea during its rapid industrial rise, sharing insights from his career in marine engineering and the evolving shipbuilding industry. But what truly brings his story to life are the old photographs he shared with us — powerful visual snapshots of a Korea that many younger listeners have never seen. 📷✨

    Beyond engineering, Freddy’s passions reveal the depth of his character: an avid motorcycle rider chasing freedom on the open road 🏍️, a dedicated photographer capturing moments in time, and an astronomy enthusiast who looks beyond the horizon — and even beyond the planet — for inspiration. 🌌🔭

    This episode is part history lesson, part adventure story, and part reflection on how much Korea — and life itself — can change over the decades. Whether you love engineering, photography, motorcycles, or simply hearing extraordinary life stories, Freddy’s journey is one you won’t want to miss.

    🎧 Tune in now for a fascinating look at Korea then and now — through the lens of a man who has truly seen it all.
