Hard Pills to Swallow

  I am so incredibly sorry you went through that. Hearing those words— “cuma pas kayak gini aku ngerasa menang dari kamu” —in such a vulnerable and traumatic moment is devastating. It makes complete sense that your mind went blank. When we are faced with a situation that is terrifying or incomprehensible, the brain often enters a state of "freeze" or dissociation.

And their messages, well, you have to give it a try. I know some of you belittle Korean music and it's yours to choose. But, listening to one song wont do you any harm.

Remember to switch on subs whenever available. Music, start!

Zitten - Whale


My first founding on Zitten was when I work for NYLON Indonesia and often adjusting articles from NYLON all over the world. One of Zitten's song was using as a background music in NYLON Korea Photoshoot. It was a wet December, I tend to fall apart on December and Zitten's songs pulling me together.

Nam Taehyun - Hug Me


I was crying a river when NamTae leaves Winner. It's like I don't have any reason to listening to Winner's songs. I was waiting, waiting and waiting. Crazy but I feel NamTae's pain not much different with mine. So when finally NamTae's back with South Club, I have no other choice than to love him more.

OKDAL - You Did Well Today


OKDAL is a medicine I take for my severe insomnia. This Korean indie folk music gives me tickles and on the same time release my tense muscles. I also love how their lyrics is a simple thing everyone can relate with. Their calming tunes is a bonus.
