korean, as written
I don’t wanna call you 오빠 All the time 우리 한 살 차이 밖에 있는데 alright 난 관심없다고 없어 넌 도도해 너무 도도 도도도도 현지 왜럽게 슬퍼 보여 waiting until i’m the ceo 현지 너무 고집 세 표성을 고쳐야돼 한국어 잘 못해 어쩌라고?
her translation
“I don’t wanna call you oppa all the time We’re only one year apart, alright I’m not interested, I’m not You’re arrogant, too arrogant” “(Hyunji, why do you look so sad? Waiting until I’m the CEO Hyunji, you’re so stubborn You have to fix your expression I’m not good at speaking Korean What do you want me to do?)”
note — the broken korean is deliberate. do not correct, transliterate, or romanize it.

memory box is a six-song project about archiving what "home" feels like. Not just as a place, but as the feeling of being grounded.
Each song is an old photo pulled from the bottom of your unorganized drawer that unlocks a flood of nostalgia.
Over the past four years, I've lived through moments that shook my sense of self such as moving between homes, rebuilding communities from scratch, losing myself in one person, feeling trapped in a controlling environment. Each of these was its own specific time and place, and each one felt like "home" to me, if only for a while.
“memory box” is what happens when you lay all those vignettes out together in one place, in one box, so you can trace the pieces that made you who you are.
