About

 Hi, and welcome!


I'm a Korean-American woman living in the U.S., and this blog is where I share small stories, cultural insights, and personal reflections—mostly about life as someone who grew up between two cultures.


You’ll find posts about Korean customs, food, language quirks, social values, and how they compare to American life.  

It’s not meant to be expert commentary—just my take on things I’ve seen, felt, and lived.


Thanks for stopping by. I hope you find something here that feels familiar, interesting, or even just a little bit new.
