I just discovered this newsletter and honestly I am stunned! Illustrations Plus Great writing in great art how can you do better? I'm afraid I have to subscribe to such a worthwhile newsletter.
I voted for KAAC. I wish you the very best luck! You know growing up we had a Korean immigrant family move next door to us in the late sixties in early seventies. That's how I got introduced to the Korean culture from Jo Han, who was about a year or two younger than I was. His family was talented, industrious, and successful in life. But way back then things were "a bit" easier for immigrants; although in America, of all places, where we're a country of immigrants we have this blind spot that only certain people are allowed in this country. The hypocrisy is lost 9n the racists. I wish the standard for American citizenship was empathy, compassion, and tolerance.
"Yeo-Yoo" may not be able to be described in English but that state of being should be a goal for everyone. Maybe Rudyard Kipling described Yeo-Yoo in his poem "If"
I'm 70, with a wife and two sons: oldest 30 years old living in Columbus, Ohio and the youngest 27, living in Naples, Florida. I gave both of them Kipling's "If" as a guide to manage their lives. BTW, the oldest, Frankie Guy Dundee, single, never married and has college mates who he visits in New York City (Brooklyn) usually once or twice a month. Did I mention he is single?? LOL!!! https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1wFdXkQGo_BPbp6V1plJ84BJguVNuAWN3?usp=sharing
