Read MoreCanadian Doenjang 캐나다 된장 – Episode 2
Welcome back! Did you like our first actual Canadian Doenjang cooking show? It turns out it’s way more work than I expected to film a cooking video. The video you just watched on YouTube (you did watch it, right?) is only 10 minutes but it took 4 1/2 hours to film. Of course, part of that was eating too. My lovely co-host, Heejoo, our fabulous videographer, Jen, and a special guest videographer,...

Read MoreFilm Review: Miami Connection
Ever read a description for a film and think, “Man, I really have to see this!” That’s what happened when I read that Miami Connection was playing for one night at The Royal. I had to see it. So, of course, I went. ^^ Side note: I’ve recently discovered The Royal Theatre in Toronto. Okay, I always knew it was there as I walked past it regularly in Little Italy but I recently...

Read MoreMy Favourite Korean Cosmetics – 2014 Edition
One of my most read articles is one I wrote on January 2012 about my favourite Korean cosmetics and skincare. In fact it IS my most read article with almost 23,000 page views. No joke! People like reading about cosmetics and skincare. ^^ I wrote it mainly about the Korean cosmetics and skincare I loved when I lived in Korea and was still using after returning to Canada. Now it’s been a while and I...

Read MoreKorean Musicians at SXSW 2014
So I was writing this article when I got an email. Okay, I get emails all the time but this email made me jump up and down and squeal like a girl. You see, I’d applied for press accreditation for South by Southwest (SXSW) just to throw my name in the hat. I honestly didn’t think I’d get it but last Thursday I got an email with the magic words “SXSW Press Accreditation –...

Read MoreWhere to watch Korean Films in Toronto
Recently I was asked to be on the board of directors for the Toronto Korean Film Festival which is a lovely honour and I was of course, pleased to accept. I love film, and Korean films rock. In fact, I fell in love with Korean cinema even before the music and you all know how much I love Korean music. Luckily, Toronto is getting more and more Korean films so I can easily indulge my Korean film love. But...

Read MoreKorean Baseball Organization and Chan Ho Park
In my last posting, I discussed the three different sports that are famous in Korea. Out of the three, the most loved sports of all time would be Baseball. On December 11, 1981, 6 teams – OB Bears, MBC Cheong Ryong, HaiTai Tigers, Samsung Lions, SamMi Superstars and Lotte Giants – founded a Korean baseball league; and with the first pitch made by President Jeon, the famous KBO (Korean Baseball...

Editorial: Dating Korean – Fantasy vs. Reality
Let me first say, I’m in no means an expert on dating or dating Korean guys! Nor is this post really about dating, but rather about how our perceptions are influenced by the media and entertainment. And now...
