It's been almost a year since I did one of these, and I'm having a bit of a rough day. Does anyone remember me? ㅋㅋㅋ Anyway, if you're similarly bored then please go ahead and ask me anything about life post-eSports journalism living in Seoul. (Or about figure collecting etc.)





Is that supposed to be a rhetorical question? All the BW guys here absolutely adore you and stop bribing me specifically with cute kittens.

It isn't fair. You know my one weakness. T_T

Well, it's usually the younger boys who are the most awkward. Horangi, Skyhigh, ZerO, Effort and BeSt were all pretty awkward to work with. Very polite, but kind of bemused/traumatised by my forthright style of 'direction.' I think the funniest eSports one was when my Mum inadvertantly terrorized BeSt. It was during a promotion where the boys had henna tattoos on their bodies.

My Mum (during a photo shoot with BeSt) rolled up her sleeve to reveal her full length arm tattoo and asked him in English 'Your tattoo, is it real?' He went all O.O and insisted 'No! NO! It's for team!' My Mum was a real terror around the gamers <3

My own personal weird/funny experience was getting roped into shooting as an extra for Secret Garden along with my friend at the end of an FTIsland concert. We had no idea what we were doing, or why everyone screamed when this guy came into the concert hall. It turns out it was a super famous actor >.>


LMAO.


I'm evil. I miss my cat ;_; I called my Mum a couple of weeks ago, and apparently she's still terrorizing the local neighbourhood kitties, and acting like a diva. (My cat, not my mum.)


I really miss my cat too. :[ He passed away right after Thanksgiving. It was very, very sad.

Sadly not. I could go, but I sold my big expensive lens a few months back to pay for some expenses so I only have my 50mm now. Hopefully someone can step up to the plate in the near future to replace me!

Although this is foolish, and will probably not happen, what do you think it would take for somebody to step up and replace you.

What kind of a lifestyle is it?

My mp3 player has a mixture of the following;

~ Japanese music - especially from musicals, stage plays, electropop (Perfume, Supercar etc) and yankee rock like Thee Michelle Gun Elephant and The Backhorn. I also like more chilled out artists such as Salyu.

~ Korean music - Seo Taiji, trashy Kpop, Lee Ssang, Outsider.

~ Classical - I'm kind of into Schubert right now weirdly enough.

~ Western music - Florence and the Machine, The Klaxons, old school stuff from my teenager years like Linkin Park and Sum41 >.> I also like acoustic/unplugged versions of whatever takes my fancy.

~ Chinese music - I'm not very knowledgeable about it, but I have a few obscure favorites.

I definitely recommend checking out Gangnam. I went to a really cool shabu/shabu and conveyer restaurant on the main road with a side buffet. It was all you can eat for one hour for only a low price. I tend to be more of a cafe girl, but if you go to Hongdae you can find loads of really quirky cafes that serve nice fusion foods. They're especially good for lunches. Gangnam is probably better if you're looking for something a little classier.

You can even find really good eats in the 3,000won bbq places - student areas like Hyehwa and Konkuk are a goldmine of great restaurants with super low prices to cater to the strapped-for-cash student crowd. My guilty pleasures are bakeries too - especially Paris Croissant and any of the little independant onces in Hongdae.

A tiring and costly one tbh. It involved a lot of waiting, followed by periods of running around like a headless chicken trying to corral geeks into giving decent poses. The rush of getting a good shot, and having those kinds of unique experiences made up for how draining it could be at times.

Anyone who is wanting to follow in my footsteps should be prepared to drop everything to get the job done, and to spend money on getting the correct kit.

Well I tend to lump Chinese in with HK, Taiwanese and other EA countries that aren't Korea or Japan in terms of music. I do like Wilbur Pan, BoBo, Kimi and some faintly hilarious 'rap' acts like Edison Chen. I really hate ballads though, so I tend to avoid a lot of the more mainstream stuff. Oh, and I like some of Jay Chou, S.H.E. and Fahrenheit's stuff.

Not any more. I made the switch way back during my second year in Korea when I moved to Seoul. I have an EOS5D right now. I recently sold my old Nikon to pay for more cute plastic shit.
