When a week spins you around like a whirlwind, wrapping it up nicely is the key to slip smoothly into the weekend. So, I swung by Kyobo Bookstore.
I used to think of adorably quirky Ellen Page from <Juno> whenever I saw Elliot Page, but today, a trustworthy icon like Jeon Cheongjo came to mind. YouTube’s influence is wild. 🤯
Books with these titles pop up just when you’ve almost forgotten them. It’s magic, making you resent even your favorite things like Bonobono, tteokbokki, and now, chicken. 🍗
What’s with these author names? In this feather-light era, it feels like even a YouTube channel name could win a literary award. 🤔
I once gifted this to a friend but never got around to reading it myself. Is that a stack of books or a city on the left side of the face? Always curious.
‘1Q84′ has started its cover-switch sales game. But compared to the music industry, where the same album gets released with each of the twelve members’ faces on the cover, it’s still restrained. Surprisingly, the most intriguing is ‘What I Talk About When I Talk About Running.’ Slight recommendation. 🏃♂️
‘Almond’ is also getting a cover makeover. How many years has it been glued to the bookstore shelves? I guess it’s time to read it out of respect. 📚
Who even buys these kinds of books? With only a few lines per page, I’m still clueless after reading it several times. Why the sudden urge for a fresh start?
Elliot Page is scattered around the bookstore like a ‘Where’s Waldo?’ book. If ‘Elliot Page’ were at the top and ‘Page Boy’ at the bottom, it would read like a rap… 🎤
I remember buying this keyboard ages ago, but where on earth is it?

This speaker too… where did it disappear to? 3
Living the dream, seriously….
Judging by the note about commuting, they must work at Kyobo Bookstore.
Feels like something ‘Orbit’ would have written. Did you sort out the dual employment issue?
While writing, I thought, ‘Oh wait, I’m writing now!’ but didn’t actually slap my knee. 😅
At home, I have two sets of 72-color pencils still sealed, yet I want to buy more. Tempting! 🎨
This amoeba-like Moleskine blank notebook costs over 40,000 won. Do these really sell? Want one!
It’s so cute I had to check if it was glued to the shelf (not trying to swipe it, honestly).
Calling it cute just makes it want to earn easy money? The crying bunny is adorable though… 🐰
This one’s better, right? Or maybe not…
Asked Dall.E for a quirky character, and it drew a bottle-shaped one. So honest and silly… But kinda cute?
Wanted to check out the limited release of ‘Now And Then’ LP, and asked a Hottracks staff, ‘Do you have the latest Beatles release?’ They just stared and said, ‘Sir, with two members passed, there can’t be a new release. Do you mean the anthology album?’ So I just walked out saying, ‘Ah, so there are only two left.’ 😂
Seems like a peaceful weekend might be tough.
