Merry Gwamegi & Happy New Year.

One winter day,

Went to Seoul Arts Center for a trumpet concert 🎺

A concert booked simply because I like the trumpet.

Honestly, I knew nothing about the performer.

A trumpeter who also teaches as a university professor…

A moving story with a twist was hidden, so at the very end of the performance,

I shed a few tears 😢

If you come to YeDang, you have to look around the exhibitions, right? -

A surprisingly rich free exhibition 🖼️

And after returning to my neighborhood,

I filled my “happiness pouch” again with seasonal bangeo-hoe (yellowtail sashimi) and maeuntang (spicy fish stew) 🌝

Visited Shinsegae Namsan for a company event… ✨

It’s so dazzling, it’s like a hotel itself…

Rumor has it the chandelier hanging from the entrance ceiling costs hundreds of millions of won 😅

Christmas vibes🎄🎅🏻

Had dinner with the Gojelli couple in Seorae Village,

Then went to a noraebang (karaoke room) and got a surprise cake gift! 🥰

(But the reaction from the Hong Kong and New York residents: “This is totally your style, Inju, your taste is so predictable…”) ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Yeah, it’s not my style, but thanks anyway… 🫶🏻

And I also received a very unique gift lol.

Very Gojelli-esque…

A real live clam that you open yourself to take out a pearl and put it into a necklace…

Such a Love kit…💜

There’s really a pearl inside lolololol

Each pearl color has a symbolic meaning, apparently,

The creamy one I chose? This one means Success 🙌🏻

I like it. Yes, let’s succeed, let’s succeed!

Seriously, the more I look at it, the funnier it gets… 🤣

And it smells fishy lolol

Cold bath

Hot bath

And on the last night of 2023,

Snow fell heavily ❄️☃️❄️

Gather in Gunja!!!

It’s a Gwamegi party 🌝🌝🌝 Merry Gwamegi-mas 🎅🏻

Brought precious Pohang Gwamegi from home…

Sincere plating for the Gwamegi lolol

Brought in for the birthday person right at midnight,

The bittersweet fate of the Paris Baguette choco cake…

It fell in the dusty shoe rack 😅

I got rid of bad luck right at the start of 2024 🥹🙏🏻

So we’ll live well this year -!
