Strangely Comforting Books — East Asian Edition
Stories from South Korean and Japanese literature have a strange sense of calmness and comfort. It's like being in the eye of a storm, completely detached from the rest of the world blowing into pieces.
I recently finished reading two books, 'Kitchen' by Banana Yoshimoto (Japanese) and 'Diary of a Murderer and Other Stories' by Kim Young-Ha (South Korean).
'Kitchen' deals with heartbreak and death and it comforts the reader by saying that life will go on, regardless of circumstances.
'Diary of Murderer and other stories' is a nuanced book that deals with a murderer slowly sinking into dementia, a kidnapped child reuniting with family after a long time, and the struggles of being an artist.
They are short books, and I definitely think more people should read them.

Radio South korea FM & AM + Radio Online - (Radio Android Application 🇰🇷📻)
As an AI language model, I can provide you with an article on radio stations in South Korea. However, please note that the information provided is accurate up to my knowledge cutoff date of September 2021. Additionally, due to the vast number of radio stations in South Korea, I cannot cover all of them in one article. Thus, I will provide a general overview of the radio industry in the country and highlight some of the most popular radio stations.
South Korea has a vibrant radio industry, with a wide range of stations catering to different tastes and preferences. The first radio broadcast in South Korea was made in 1927 by a Japanese station, but it was not until after the Korean War that domestic radio broadcasting took off. Today, there are over 1000 radio stations in South Korea, including national, regional, and local stations.
One of the most popular radio stations in South Korea is KBS Cool FM. Operated by the Korean Broadcasting System (KBS), the station plays a mix of Korean pop (K-pop) music, as well as international hits. KBS Cool FM is known for its popular morning show, which is hosted by DJ Lee Sora and features interviews with K-pop stars and other celebrities.
Another popular station is SBS Love FM, which plays a mix of ballads and love songs. The station is operated by Seoul Broadcasting System (SBS) and is known for its morning show, "Kim Chang-ryul's Old School," which features classic K-pop songs from the 80s and 90s.
For those who prefer a more traditional sound, there are several stations that specialize in traditional Korean music (gugak). One of these is KBS Traditional FM, which plays a mix of classical Korean music and folk songs. Another station is EBS FM, which is operated by the Educational Broadcasting System and features a mix of educational programming and traditional Korean music.
In addition to these stations, there are many other radio stations in South Korea that cater to specific audiences, including sports fans, news junkies, and those interested in classical music. Overall, the radio industry in South Korea is diverse and thriving, with something for everyone.
In recent years, there has been a shift towards digital radio in South Korea, with many stations now offering online streaming and podcasts. This has allowed listeners to access their favorite shows and music on-demand, and has also opened up new opportunities for advertisers and content creators.
In conclusion, the radio industry in South Korea is diverse and vibrant, with a wide range of stations catering to different tastes and preferences. From K-pop to traditional Korean music, there is something for everyone. As the industry continues to evolve, we can expect to see more innovation and experimentation in the years to come.

BACKGROUND- come from a rich family and am known to be the perfect girl .... perfect grades, perfect looks, perfect manners. But deep down, she knew she was far from it.
Tired of her family's expectations she ran away from home (aka went on a vacation to Korea) without her parents knowing. Moving to Korea she experienced what a normal life was like renting a small cozy apartment, enrolling in Yonsei University (Department of Medicine and Business Administration.), and working part-time jobs to provide for herself. (But without her knowing her parents already knew where and what she was doing the whole time).
Got scouted a hundred times by a lot of companies even the big 3 but rejected them all except for one particular company that begged outside her apartment for a week just to go audition at Hybe.
Finally, after a lot of persuasion, she went to the company and passed after one look at the judges, trained for 2 weeks then got moved to KOZ Entertainment (due to Zico begging to have her as a member of BOYNEXTDOOR).
