“My personal favorite destination is not really a secret one because it’s quite well-known. It’s the good old Miniloc Resort of El Nido because it’s what I would consider almost perfect. You live in a water cottage or a room by the beach. There’s a cove in front of you where you have a white sand beach and the bottom slopes gradually—perfect for swimming. Then at the edge of the resort’s wooden jetty, you can snorkel with jacks. Now how many places in the world can you have such things literally in front of your cottage? Then of course, there are other options beyond the resort. There’s kayaking, cave exploration, snorkeling, and diving. Also, when you cruise around the nearby islands, everything is still pristine. You barely see any human habitation or bare patches. Your banca just skims over clear water that changes from turquoise to mineral water-clear. A sea breeze blows in your face and you pass island after island, each with its own small, beautiful cove. Really, how good does it get?

Looking back at my experiences from 2011, I vividly remember feeling a bit down on this certain day of December. That memory stuck to me like it did because I knew the feeling all too well: I had to say goodbye to yet another person. I’ve had many friends leave the country and have almost become accustomed to the routine of bidding someone farewell and maintaining a long distance friendship instead. Despite the familiarity of the feeling, I felt particularly affected this time, because this friend was not just another acquaintance. I managed to get close to her in a relatively short amount of time, and thanks to the group of friends we mutually shared, my eyes were opened to many values like supporting my country. Little did I know that she would be visiting us faster than anybody could say, “Malasimbo.”
There are no missteps for K-pop performers in South Korea, onstage or off. Each group’s image is cultivated with almost military precision, from coiffure to couture. The music and albums are never a hodgepodge of whim— concept, design and packaging are just as paramount as the music and lyrics.
