Apropos of nothing

Are you better off than you were one year ago, now that:
- South Korea has a new president,
- its dark half has a new wonsu,
- Seoul has a new city hall,
- and Gangnam has a new jockey?

If yes, consider yourself lucky: this is a country where one in four youngsters has considered suicide, and where every other elderly lives in poverty... which puts your favorite K-pop star's latest hair disaster into perspective.

Seoul Village season VII will start pretty soon, and since true love requires some level of truth and soberness, I'm afraid there might be more episodes* about the less bright side of my beloved inhuman, all too human Seoul and Korea... which, as you well know, doesn't mean you should expect truth or sobriety from these pages.

So happy new year, and "best pants" to you all:
