Sociologist by training, corporate girl by trade. My music obsession started early (picture a kid with big yellow headphones, listening to Simple Minds and Tears for Fears). I could survive solely on kimchi. Other key stats: INTJ-T. And a Cancer sun with a Virgo rising—which, let's be honest, is the same thing. From 2026, Korea.net Honorary Reporter.
