I want to be a professional writer, which means I want to make sure that I’m capable of crafting stories that are well-worth your time. To be honest, I’ve been distracted like a moth at night. While I wished to write beautiful stories, I’ve spent a significant portion of my energy into consuming news and TV shows. I need to transform my habit of following all kinds of trending content online. I enjoy publishing podcast, writing blog posts, and coding websites, but my days lack clear pur...| Minsuk Kang

Because I live in Jeju, which draws millions of tourists year-round, I often find myself flipping through guestbooks at coffee shops, bars, and even theaters. Many of the entries reveal why people choose to travel to Jeju alone. They’re surprisingly candid about their struggles with partners, parents, and colleagues.| Writing on Minsuk Kang

In five months, an old man will be dragged out of his house. Minjoong got up and washed his face with cold water. Like always, he grabbed his beret and opened the door in front of him. Every morning, he held a cardboard at his spot for three hours. “Stop the reconstruction,” the placard said. He stood next to a giant ginkgo tree at the apartment’s entrance. On their way out, a few drivers rolled down their windows to say hi. He didn’t recognize these neighbors anymore, but smiled and ...| Minsuk Kang

I’m telling you. The Bear is a fucking gorgeous show. It’s salty, sour, sweet, and spicy. The show is like a beautiful dish layered with flavors. I know the season 3 was a bummer, but when a three-star restaurant does some dumb shit, people kind of get it. “Yeah, they reached the top. Of course, they would venture off to somewhere stupid.”| Minsuk Kang

I opened up a calculator on my phone. How long will it take for me to own a billion won apartment in Seoul? The number appeared on the screen. At the current rate of saving, I needed another 73 years to even consider buying a two-bed apartment.

This is a translated version of Kang’s final essay of a series “Where Do I Want to Live?” In 2023, around 23 million Koreans traveled abroad. Today, TV ads and variety shows constantly tempt us to leave for unfamiliar places. For 300,000 won, you can get a round-trip ticket from Korea to Japan or Taiwan. Thanks to companies like Travel Wallet, you don’t even have to pay exchange fees and sometimes get bonus cashback for overseas purchases.| Minsuk Kang

After I die, this project will still float in the vast space of the Internet. Text matters most on this website. I wanted to ensure no visitor felt the need to turn on reader mode. I experimented with various background colors, font colors, content width, navigation menus, and font sizes to embody my love for the books like these.| Minsuk Kang
