How Korean Corn Dogs Changed My Life

An addictive, tell-all memoir which is also a love letter to Korea South Korea as a country has given me everything. It''s the place where I got to know the love of my life, and changed my life forever. Inspired by her obsession with K-dramas, Alice Amelia moved to Seoul in her early 20s without knowing the language or anyone there. She ended up staying for five years, eventually becoming part of the booming Korean entertainment industry herself, and finding friendship, love and a lot of delicious snacks along the way. In the vein of Abroad in Japan , Alice explores the highs and lows of expat life while shining a light on the previously closed off society of South Korea. She also lifts the curtain on the competitive Korean entertainment industry and what it takes to succeed in such a high-pressure environment.
