An Outlet: Part 5

14 November, 2018.

Today I watched Part 1 of BTS' 4th Muster which is basically a yearly fan meeting where the BTS members indulge in performances as well as play games, answer questions, do skits, make fun of each other and have a fun time in front of all the ARMY members.

I also watched another South Korean expat named Amelia Basia. To be very frank, her videos do not have fancy editing, camera work or aren't what you would consider as 'well produced' videos. They are verrry basic and that is exactly what I like about them. I can relate her vids when they are shot in such a manner. When I watch these 'life in S.Korea' videos, I am trying to imagine how exactly it would be if I stayed there (all imaginary tho. I know for a fact that I'm never moving to South Korea) and since her vids are mostly for her family to see, it gives me exactly what I'm looking for. 

There is another reason why I like Amelia's videos and I'm afraid it might come across as a little crass but honestly, it works for me and I think I am right in my own sense. So Amelia is more on the heavier side and you don't come across many heavy bodied women who are confident enough to show themselves (bare faced) and living the basic life that she lives. I too am increasingly growing fat and even though I have no plans to open a YouTube channel, it gives me an assurance that there are bigger sized people who are willing to showcase their life.

After Tao's movie, I felt like watching more movies/ dramas in Korean. I had heard that K-Drama is quite popular. Some of the people I know knew about the Korean Drama scene before getting to know about Kpop. So I looked for a few that might interest me.

I first saw a web series where Exo's DO was the main character. Woah, I have never seen DO like this! But yeah, the drama was only a couple of episodes long but I got the message.

Then I saw this movie called 'Star Next Door'. It was very hilarious! It dealt with a serious topic but in a less serious manner. 

I started with the 4th lecture of my Korean class but I could't complete it. I swear it takes a lot of time and if this continues I am soon going to look for a new book (where I my Korean stuff) because my first one is getting filled at a rapid pace.

I finally got in touch with my Finance Group aka Gurtley and Darcy to get the project started. Hopefully we'll be able to complete it in time. I also downloaded some more movies and updated my travel journal a little more. Also, yeah, housework too.
