Read MoreDating Korean Guys – The Research Article on Hallyu’s Impact
Okay so it took a bit longer to amalgamate all the research and put it together into a (hopefully) fun-to-read format because come on, who wants to read a boring research article on dating. Luckily, the topic of dating is generally a fun one to write about. That being said, the first draft I did last week was a little dry and needed a little more tweeking… hopefully I got it right. ^^ I was going to begin...

Read MorePictorial: Rendezvous Korean Cuisine 2014
The 2014 Rendezvous Korean Cuisine was similar to the 2013 event but with one important distinction, at least for me. This year’s theme was “Journey to Korean Cuisine and Korean Tea” and I’m a huge tea lover. I used to haunt the Korean tea houses in Seoul and would be in heaven if one opened up in Toronto. I attended a couple of tea ceremonies when I lived in Korea, including one...

Read More2014 Korean Dano Spring Festival
Sorry, this is a totally belated post. That being said, I was planning on trying something new with this article. I’ve been meaning to do this for a while with articles about events because really, who wants to read the same review of the event four years in a row? So what’s different? Simple! I’m not going to tell you what I thought of the event. I’m going to show you. And you can...

Read MoreCanadian Doenjang Episode 6 – Bibim guksu
As you might have guessed by the fact that I’m making Canadian Doenjang, our monthly YouTube Korean cooking show; I love to cook. I always have. And I’m always on the lookout for new recipes, as well as modifying or creating my own. In fact, when I travel I always take a small recipe notebook so I can add any new recipes I learn. I’ve also been known to randomly ask people for recipes if...

Read MoreFilm Review: Night Flight at TKFF
When I first saw the trailer to Night Flight (야간비행), my first thought was that the film would be a dark look into friendships in high school, similar to Bleak Night (파수꾼). In some ways I was right about the closing film of the 2014 Toronto Korean Film Festival (TKFF), but I found Night Flight to be even more dark and complex. Perhaps because it wasn’t simply about friendship, nor is it simply a look at...

Read MoreReview: Broken at TKFF 2014
I’m going to tell you a secret. I was really, really looking forward to Broken (방황하는칼날)! One of the reasons – other than the fact that I love thrillers (they are my second favourite film genre) was that I’ve become a fan of the lead actor – Jung Jae Young (정재영) – in recent years. It makes me feel a little guilty that I was looking forward to one film more than the others but I have two...

Read MoreReview: Lee Moon Sae Concert in Toronto
When I first heard that Lee Moon Sae (이문세) was coming to Toronto in June to perform one of three North American concerts, I was excited – the other two were in New Jersey and Los Angeles. Even though I wasn’t really a fan, nor overly familiar with his music, I had of course heard of him. It would be impossible to listen to a wide variety of Korean music and especially to write about it and not know who he...

Read MoreReview: Korean Shorts Competition
The Toronto Korean Film Festival (TKFF) moved from Cinecycle to the AGO’s Jackman Hall, a bigger venue for the final two days of the film festival. Day 4 had two screenings – the Korean Shorts Competition which I’ll be talking about shortly and the Canadian premiere of the feature film, Broken 방황하는 칼날. But let’s talk about the Korean shorts. TKFF received over 110 shorts this year...
