How Korean Corn Dogs Changed My Life: Finding love, fame and myself in Seoul

Description

An addictive, tell-all memoir which is also a love letter to Korea

Aged twenty-one, fuelled by a love of K-dramas and a need to find herself, Alice Amelia moved to Seoul. She knew no-one in her adopted country, didn”t speak the language, and hadn”t tried kimchi, let alone grilled cow intestines or Korean corn dogs. But she soon realises that real-life Seoul isn”t the romanticised city she”d watched on television – and it doesn”t have subtitles.

Determined to follow her dream, Alice becomes everything she wasn”t in England: adding spicy gochujang sauce to every meal, dancing in K-pop videos, dating HOT Korean models, and even injecting salmon sperm into her eye bags. But as she breaks into the Korean entertainment industry which she idolised from afar, her life spiralled in ways she never could have imagined. Wanting to stay true to herself, she wonders, will she ever belong in Korea? And what price will it cost her to stay?
