Hey guys! I’ve been busy. I am busy, but I have just been loving this person’s album so much, so much that I just had to write an article tell you all about him. DEAN (stylized as DΞΔN), real name Kwon Hyuk, is an R&B singer-songwriter and producer. Specifically, […]
If you live long enough, you will see your dream come true…or at least up close and personally. Having lived in Vancouver more than half my life, and half of that being a kpop fan, I was resigned to the fact that the majority of kpop acts simply […]
A normal day in March. I was scrolling through Facebook idly when: I blinked. Did that say VANCOUVER? The Antarctica for Korean artists? Despite my non-korean origin, a disbelieving “heol” slipped out of my open mouth. And in my head I imagined Tablo (bless his St. George’s/Vancouver era) convincing […]
I remember walking into Richmond Centre, completely unaware of how my life was about to change. (Too dramatic?) As I strolled past Starbucks, my ears picked up familiar riffs. Is that Kpop?! I did a turn and saw a storefront that I thought I would never see in […]
I like eating. I like watching people cook food. And as I’ve recently found out, I apparently also like people eating food. Although I’ve known of this phenomenon for a while, I never actually watched one until around last week. I may have ended up subscribing to too many […]

When I was doing research for my Geo paper, I came upon this article and thought it deserved sharing. SAMOO is a firm that offers designing and engineering services. It’s headquartered in Seoul but has branch offices all over the world. Its notable projects include Samsung Town, New […]
Move over, LTE. 5G is coming. It’s an understatement to say that smartphones are everywhere in Korea. As a fellow blogger noted in 3 Funny Things about K-Dramas, even the poorest character would have the latest smartphone. It’s not that unrealistic actually, with Korea boasting a 97.7% saturation […]
Type: Korean(-Chinese) Location: West End – 1638 Robson St, Vancouver, BC Pricing: $$ I’m fonder of this place than warranted. While thinking of an article idea, this little place popped into my head. “EXCUSE FOUND TO GO TO BOOK KYUNG!” ^ a ^ On a Friday night, I […]
