Signed and dedicated pre orderHardbackOrders will be shipped after 8th May
An addictive, tell-all memoir about chasing reinvention in Korea and the reality behind the dream. At twenty-one, fuelled by K-dramas and a need to reinvent herself, Alice Amelia moves to Seoul. She knows no one, doesn't speak the language, and hasn't tried kimchi, let alone Korean corn dogs. But real-life Seoul isn't the glossy, subtitled fantasy she expected.
Determined to follow her dream, Alice becomes everything she wasn't in England: dousing every meal in gochujang, dancing in K-pop videos, dating famous models, and even injecting salmon sperm into her eye bags. As she breaks into the Korean entertainment industry which she idolised, finds friendship, and flirts with love, her life spirals in ways she never imagined. Caught between who she was and who she's becoming, will she ever belong in Korea? And what is she willing to sacrifice to stay?
