Day 3 in Korea

I'm writing to you from my family's house in Korea. My first 2 days here have been a whirlwind of fun so far!

As soon as we landed, I was rushed to MBC Studios to do a live radio interview with legendary DJ Bae Chul-Soo. He's just as friendly he looks. And his questions were great! (I didn't get any pictures with him because my camera was still in my suitcase.)


The very next morning I did another live radio interview with another legendary DJ, Kim Chang-Wan at SBS Studios. He was so funny. He's in his bicycling clothes because he rides to and from work every day!

This is the "lobby" of the SBS building.

Me and Kim Chang-Wan

We had a little lunch at a Korean-fusion restaurant. Look at how perfect this salad is!


Then I did a photo shoot for Korean Esquire Magazine, which is coming out this September.

Here we are choosing outfits for the shoot.

Here I am in the makeup chair. This is the "before" picture.

And here is the "After". :)

Then I did an interview for F.OUND Magazine, who I'm now in love with! I have to learn Korean just so I can read these magazines! I'll be in their 1 year anniversary edition in September.



Now I'm with my family where we're about to make some Mandu (yummy Korean dumplings). I better get out there and help them! My husband is smashing garlic as I type this.

love,
p. ahn

  8. It all sounds awesome. Looks beautiful. When I was a boy, a Korean family moved in a few homes down the street and they had the tastiest food I've ever eaten in my life to this day!!! My favorite thing was the dumplings!

    Come to upstate NY will ya? Yer hubby won't even have to smash garlic. We'll feed him Italian style. (which is simply feed until your belly can't take any more)

  10. I just got back from teaching in Korea.
    If you're playing shows out there I will hate you forever for not playing them while I was out there! Haha, I only joke. I was dying for music other than Korean pop and club music.

    I miss Korea! I hope you have a great time!

    What's your favorite Korean dish?

    I hope all is well!

  11. Oh I know Kim Chang-Wan ... from segments of his TV Show in Youtube.
    I don't understand a single word in Korean but I love Korean music, especially from the 'Pastel Music' Label...
    Will You appear on Korean TV too?

  16. this is awesome! I'm jealous you're in Korea; I'm Korean and was adopted as a tot and have been back once. If you try learning Korean, blog about it; I've thought about trying to learn in my "old age." ;)
