Paul Sun-Hyung Lee | Gen-Xcavators | The Complete Conversation
In this full-length Gen-Xcavators conversation, Paul Sun-Hyung Lee takes us back to the pop culture moments that shaped his childhood — from the first movie he saw in theatres to the TV theme songs, music, books, comics, and games that defined growing up Gen-X. Instead of a career retrospective, this conversation rewinds to the stories, sounds, and shared experiences that fueled a generation - and explores how those experiences feel different today. šŸŽ¬ Paul Sun-Hyung Lee | The Complete Conversation šŸ—“ļø Recorded: November 17, 2025 _________________________________________________________________________________________________ About Gen-Xcavators Gen-Xcavators is a Mind Reels interview series where we dig into the pop culture that shaped the people who shaped us, and/or those who were shaped right along with us.
