Read the Room. Runner-Up in We Have a Dream Challenge.
Autumn, 2019. I found myself buying a book about nunchi during a holiday trip to London, England. The pretty, pink and gold hardcover was enough to draw me in and my affinity to Korean media from my fringe-hipster teenage years had me sold. The semi-spontaneous trip with my mum and sister was to celebrate my cousin's wedding, help with preparations, and post-wedding festivities. Weddings are not just a one-day affair in my culture, so our participation meant taking out the time and resources to fly thousands of miles across the world and be on social-mode for the entire duration of the trip. An arduous task for a planning-control freak-introvert such as myself.
