Vodka Rain, one of my favorite Korean indie bands. This song is called 첫사랑의 결혼을 듣는 나이 (The age when you hear of your first love's marriage) *Lyrics 언젠가는 만나겠지 네 말처첨 Some day we will meet like you said   미련없이 반기겠지 We’ll feel glad with no regret   널 볼 줄 알았어 I know that we will meet 우리는 웃겠지 We will laugh 언젠가 만난다면 아무런 말도 없이 If we meet someday, even without speaking 멋있는 사람처럼 Like cool people 하지만 눈부시게 But dazzlingly 다른 시절로 갔네 We’ll go to those other times 한 번도 웃지 못해 But I can’t laugh again 언젠가는 만나겠지 언젠가는 Some day we will meet, some day 눈빛으로 다 알겠지 From a glance we will know everything 널 사랑했었어 I loved you 우리는 울겠지 We will cry 언젠가 만난다면 아무런 말도 없이 If we meet someday, even without speaking 멋있는 사람처럼 Like cool people    다른 시절로 갔네 We’ll go to those other times 한 번도 웃지 못해 But I can’t laugh again 언젠가 만난다면 아무런 말도 없이 If we meet someday, even without speaking  멋있는 사람처럼 Like cool people 다른 시절로 갔네 We’ll go to those other times  한 번도 울지 못해 But I can’t cry again

Korean food just like home: Jingogae in Raynes Park (near New Malden). Galbitang (beef short ribs soup) is fantastic and the jjimdak too. Lunch menu is only £6~7 and they provide a full range of side dishes.  A definite must-visit if you're in the New Malden area!

Korean Street Food: On The Bab in Shoreditch. Delicious beef & pork buns, tasty (& quirky) ddeokbokki and fun vibe! Loved by hipsters and Koreans alike. I also recommend the chimaek set ;)

  브로콜리 너마저 (Broccoli You Too)

As unique as their band name, their songs are unique and fresh.

'1/10'is one of my favorite songs. It's really easy on the ears with Deokwon’s charming voice :)

Check out the lyrics too, then you will find out why the title is 1/10! 

[ 1/10 Lyrics ]

  우리가 함께 했던 날들의

Of the days when we were together

  열에 하나만 기억해줄래?

Can you remember one of ten?

  우리가 아파했던 날은 모두

Every day that we were in pain

  나 혼자 기억할게

Only I will remember

  혹시 힘든 일이 있다면

If times are tough

  모두 잊어줘 다 나의 몫이지만

Forget about everything, it’s my share, but

  듣고 싶은 말이 남았다면

If there’s anything left you want to hear

  네가 했던 말 다 너에게 줄게

I will give back every word that you told me  

우리가 살아 있던 날들의

Of the days when we lived

열에 하나만 기억해 줄래?

Can you remember one of ten?

  우리가 아파했던 날은 모두

Every day that we were in pain

  나 혼자 기억할게

Only I will remember
