Here are some of my 2023 write-ups!
“My First Reaction to Barbie”
“The movie really crystallized for me why Barbie endures: she is a blank canvas, an empty vessel. She is us, our projections - our ways of making visible our ideal appearances, our career goals, etc. She is a face for our dreams.
But she is only a face.”
“The Future of K-Pop Concerts”
“As the number of K-pop world tours rises, fans increasingly have to pick and choose which shows to attend. Here are my ideas for how artists can convince fans to pick their shows over others!”
“The 10 Best Things About SMTOWN’s 2023 NYE Concert”
“SM Entertainment might not save the world, but its artists’ music can certainly motivate people to try, or at least to turn the solidarity-forming power of fandoms towards a noble cause. SM Entertainment rang in the new year vouching for artists and viewers alike to join forces and embrace a spirit of community.”
