taketwolu 's review for:

I'll Love You Forever by Giaae Kwon

---

Part memoir and part cultural criticism, Kwon explores her mixed feelings towards the Kpop industry and how it’s shaped her. This essay collection had me swimming in nostalgia but also feeling like I was reflecting on these moments like a fly on the wall. Kwon explores larger issues like cultural norms, mental health, body image, obsession, the pressures of the kpop industry, as well as her Korean-American identity. Overall, I appreciated the mix of critique and positive sentiments and more vulnerable confessions.
