The media are not toys… they can be entrusted only to new artists, because they are art forms.

Yangnyeom Chicken and the Divorce Process
Jun 1, 2025
After getting home from work, I fried chicken drumsticks with bread crumbs in my Ninja air fryer and made Korean yangnyeom sauce. It took me about an hour to cook, but only ten minutes to eat. I had two pieces and saved the other two for tomorrow, along with half the sauce, which I put in the fridge.

I imagined sending my mom a photo of the yangnyeom chicken to show off that I've been doing well, even though I'm alone, and pictured her being surprised and telling my father about it.

I checked my marriage certificate on the Korean government's online system to see if the divorce process was complete. It wasn't. It looks like there's still a step left: I need to visit the consulate to confirm the final divorce document. Actually, there's one more step after that—our divorce has to be reported to the government, which I assume Yousun will handle.
