A new way to hear from Johnny

Spotify has announced that JOURNEY with JOHNNY, a video podcast featuring NCT’s Johnny, is available on its platform. According to the announcement, the show explores Korean culture through personal stories and conversations about customs, giving fans a new setting in which to hear him discuss life in Korea.

Spotify introduces the series through Johnny’s experience of moving between countries. He grew up in Chicago before relocating to South Korea during his teenage years to train as an artist, the platform says. That background provides the personal context for a show about a country he continues to discover.

Culture through personal discoveries

In Spotify’s accompanying interview, Johnny says recording brought surprises: some subjects revealed gaps in his knowledge of Korea, while others made him recognize things he already understood. He describes those discoveries as highlights of the series and says he hopes to reach both K-pop fans and people interested in Korean culture.

Johnny also describes himself as someone who is still learning. His account places the cultural discussions within an ongoing personal exploration, with listeners invited to follow that process alongside him. That is the scope he sets for the series: sharing discoveries as he makes them.

Music selections and weekly episodes

Music is a recurring part of the format. Spotify says every episode includes a song chosen by Johnny, linking the discussion with music and experiences from his daily life. The selections give listeners another part of his personal perspective to explore alongside the conversations about Korean culture.

For viewers ready to start, Spotify says the first episodes are available to watch and lists new installments for Wednesdays at 11 p.m. KST. The announcement therefore includes an existing starting point for the series as well as a weekly schedule for following subsequent episodes.
