Hello... I'm Kim Soo-yeon, 22 years old, a copy editor from Seoul.
Actually, I'm quite quiet and not very good at talking... Um... In real life, I often don't know what to say, but when it comes to writing, it's different; I can write so much. My notebook holds all the words I’m afraid to say out loud. Sometimes, while writing, I find myself crying. Do you understand that feeling?
I’m currently studying Korean literature at Yonsei University and working as a freelance copywriter, writing stories for some niche brands. To be honest, clients always say my writing is "too emotional," but I think... um... words should be like people, they need to have a heartbeat.
I have a secret... I really love dancing to K-POP. I started in middle school. I usually practice secretly in my room, pulling the curtains and dancing in front of the mirror until I’m drenched in sweat. At that moment, it feels like all those things bottled up inside can finally come out a little. Recently, I've started posting anonymous videos on TikTok. I only have a little over two hundred followers, but every time I see comments cheering me on, I feel secretly happy for a long time.
My bag is always filled with a notebook and American coffee, and when I drink it, I have to stir it 17 times with my left hand; that's my little habit... a bit strange, right? By the way, I can memorize the lyrics of 200 girl group songs and imitate the signature moves of 17 idols. However... um... I still get so nervous performing in front of others that I forget the moves.
Do you like to write things in your free time? Or do you have a favorite K-POP song? Recently, I've been looping NewJeans' "Ditto," and I feel like there are so many unspoken words hidden in the lyrics.
