Farewell to ... The King of Dramas

Another one has ended. And we wipe some tears as we sing ....  (don't ask me who this Helene Fischer woman is) King of Dramas . What a great drama you've been!

But lest you think I'm shallow enough to be swayed only by adorableness, let me assure you that I've seen various interviews with both these guys so am not giving these seats away lightly. Yes, lafer. I'm also going for brains rather than looks. This is about a dinner after all, right? And we will talk, right? Well, I'm not sure exactly how much talking we'll do, because let's face it, there is a slight language barrier. But we can pretend to be listening with rapt attention... while gazing into their eyes...... My hangul is perfect for the occasion. I can say "oppa", "sarangae", " kamsahamnid...
