Do you or your family members have stories to share for an anthology devoted to the Korean immigrant experience in the 70's and 80's? If so, please consider submitting it for publication at KoreanAmericanStory.org. They are collecting content in a variety of formats, and they will compensate for the stories they select for publication. Details can be found here. --Julie

"American Idol" featured a Korean American contestant yesterday named Hee Jun Han. With the goofy music playing in the background, the extended interview, and the overenthusiasm, I didn't know what to expect. But Hee Jun, who hails from Flushing, NY, definitely gave "American Idol" some motherland flavor, from complimenting Ryan Seacrest on his small face (even comparing his face to...

By now you've probably heard or read about Pinkberry co-founder, Young Lee, attacking a homeless man with a tire iron. When I was reading some of the details of what happened, and also accounts of his previous shady behaviors (like making threats against someone's life), I was like... I can totally picture a lot of Korean men doing this. I...

It's the Solar New Year! I hope everyone had a restful time off and spent lots of time enjoying their families... although I gotta say that taking care of both kids all day is way harder than being at work. Even if one of them looks this cute:  Anyway, anyone got resolutions for the new year? I'm not one...

To my beloved Kimchi Mamas, Please do me and our community a favor by reading this short article on self-harm and violence in the Korean American community I know this seems like a big bummer to post this during the holiday season, but 'tis also the season for a spike in suicides, suicide attempts, and domestic violence. Does this ring...

By now most of you probably heard that Kim Jong Il is dead at the age of 69. I saw some footages of North Koreans "mourning" via a Reuters video and to me, they just looked like people "faking" it. After reading this post on Ask A Korean, I can hardly "trust" North Korean journalism or even clips of videos...

What's the worst thing your mom or dad has ever said to you? My dad told me yesterday that he shows his love to me by yelling at me. Um... no thank you please? Do your parents show you how much they love you by criticizing you too? Here are some of the best of the worst things I've heard...

But first, what did Weeny Beeny sell? A lot of you were right! It's a Candy shop. I think they do specialize in jelly beans but they have a whole bunch of other candies too and it's selft serve, kind of like our Sweet Factories. I snapped these shots at the Lotte World Weeny Beeny store. Onto the winners! I...

Koji Steven Sakai at 8Asians.com did what many of us do not dare to do: he lurked on white supremacist discussion boards in order to see what they though of Asian people. Sakai reported back that the feelings were in fact mixed; some white supremacists viewed Asians, especially the Japanese, as a race to respect and/or model in terms of...

I am currently totally addicted to just finished a Korean drama series called Queen of Housewives. It's on Hulu. My efforts to watch less TV is totally out the window. Anyway, I liked it because it's kind of funny. And of course, there was eye candy. I never knew of Oh Ji Ho before but yeah.. me like. I find...
