About this listen
Chosen by Wanderlust as one of the best travel books of 2026
An addictive, tell-all memoir about chasing reinvention in Korea and the reality behind the dream
At twenty-one, fuelled by K-dramas and a need to reinvent herself, Alice Amelia moves to Seoul. She knows no one, doesn't speak the language, and hasn't tried kimchi, let alone Korean corn dogs. But real-life Seoul isn't the glossy, subtitled fantasy she expected.
Determined to follow her dream, Alice becomes everything she wasn't in England: dousing every meal in gochujang, dancing in K-pop videos, dating famous models, and even injecting salmon sperm into her eye bags.
As she breaks into the Korean entertainment industry which she idolised, finds friendship, and flirts with love, her life spirals in ways she never imagined.
Caught between who she was and who she's becoming, will she ever belong in Korea? And what is she willing to sacrifice to stay?
'An eye-opening memoir . . . her story plays out against a city every bit as compelling in its eccentricities, food and spirit' WANDERLUST
'Brings to life a country as complex and vibrant as its many gochujang-laced dishes. A delicious reminder that we can find "home" in the most unexpected landscapes, people, and flavors' KIM SUNÉE, author of Everyday Korean and A Mouthful of Stars
'Shocking, hilarious, and swooningly romantic, Alice Amelia's memoir reads like one of the best rom-coms - and yet it all actually happened' EMILY CHAPPELL, author of Where There's A Will
'A fascinating deep dive into the world (and the seedy inner workings) of k-pop and k-drama ... also an honest account of the author's turbulent twenties and affairs of the heart' SARRA MANNING (on Substack)©2026 Alice Amelia

Brings to life a country as complex and vibrant as its many gochujang-laced dishes. A delicious reminder that we can find "home" in the most unexpected landscapes, people, and flavors
Shocking, hilarious, and swooningly romantic, Alice Amelia's memoir reads like one of the best rom-coms - and yet it all actually happened. It's also a love letter to Korean food, culture, men and women. By the time I reached the final page, I was ready to book a flight
A fascinating deep dive into the world (and the seedy inner workings) of k-pop and k-drama, neither of which I knew anything about, an insider's guide to the hidden heart of Seoul; also an honest account of the author's turbulent twenties and affairs of the heart
An eye-opening memoir . . . Her story plays out against a city every bit as compelling in its eccentricities, food and spirit
