Stray Kids, Episode 7: it ain’t live, it’s holding on

Back to Site Table of Contents

(Written May 13, 2025)


We’re in the middle of the Stray Kids vs. YG trainees battle, so just one quick housekeeping note:  Boys Planet 2 will air in July on Viki.  The K Group series will premiere on July 17, and the C Group on July 18.  Mark whatever you use for a calendar.  Housekeeping done.  Back to the battle!

We left off with Woojin, Bang Chan, and Han about to perform their arrangement of the Blackpink song “As If It’s Your Last.”  Let’s do this.

Good Lord, Woojin can sing.  The overall performance is powerful and stunning, but Woojin’s voice steals the show.  JYP and CEO Yang both give them high praise.  CEO Yang even refrains from saying anything weird.  Well done!

Next up, the YG vocal team.  We heard Bang Yedam last time.  Now he’s part of a five-member vocal team that surprisingly does not include Doyoung.  CEO Yang, a man with no filter, cheerfully tells JYP that he was in a rush when preparing for this battle and just threw this team together.  “Their teamwork may not match, or they’ll make mistakes,” he says casually. 

I keep waiting for the “but…”  There is none.  Here’s our team, I threw them together in a rush, they might suck, enjoy.  It should not surprise you to learn that as of this writing, Yang Hyun-suk is no longer the CEO of YG Entertainment. 

The YG team will perform “Why So Lonely” by JYP group The Wonder Girls.

I’m not a fan of reggae, but I will say the singing here is heavenly.  Bang Yedam hits some high notes to swoon for, and Raesung kills it on the rap part.  JYP gives high praise to Seunghoon.  Knowing what Seunghoon will go through on YG Treasure Box, I know how starved he is for compliments.  I’m glad he’s getting some positive attention here.

Now for the moment I’ve been waiting for.  The dance battle.  We’re starting with Stray Kids.  They introduce themselves, and CEO Yang has apparently never heard the name “Felix” before.  These two have a bit of trouble understanding each other.  Felix, this man has already threatened twice to kill his own trainees.  Just smile and nod and move on.

I’m surprised to learn that Felix has only been in Korea for two months.  He confesses his Korean language skills are still weak.  I wish I knew Korean well enough to understand how he sounds when he speaks it.  Based on the show so far, I thought he was doing fine.  But then again, the show hasn’t really focused on him that much.

So now it’s time to begin, but Bang Chan makes an unusual request to allow his team to warm up for two minutes.  CEO Yang is a bit puzzled but agrees.  Our boys stretch, jump, and do splits, and I think this may be an intimidation tactic.  As in, look what we can do when we haven’t even STARTED yet.

Bang Chan reminds his team to double knot their shoelaces, and finally they all get into formation.  I am officially excited.  Here we go!



It starts witty and fun, with a bouncy tempo.  Then, the vibe changes.

“THIS IS HIP HOP!” yells the voice on the track, and they turn into an aggressive street gang.  The moves are sharp and lightning-fast.  Then – oh my God – they launch into the Kendrick Lamar track “Be Humble.”  They’re moving so fast, it’s hard to get clear screenshots.

This is insanely difficult choreography, and you just have to see it for yourself.  A YouTuber called kssup posted just the performance, and you can view it here.

CEO Yang asks who wrote the choreography.  Bang Chan replies that the whole team did it together.  After confirming the moves were all original and didn’t come from YouTube, the CEO praises them for their teamwork and creativity.  I honestly don’t see how the YG team can beat this.  “The YG team should have gone first,” says CEO Yang.

Our hastily-assembled YG team gets into formation.  Let’s see how they compare to Stray Kids.



They’re good.  Of course, they can’t match the Stray Kids performance, but it’s impressive.  They stay locked in sync, and the routine is high energy.  They really should have gone first.

With the battle over, both teams hug it out.  I guess we’re not getting any final scores or anything.  Both JYP and CEO Yang encourage them to stay friends and keep chasing their dreams, and that’s it for the fourth JYP vs. YG battle.  Kind of anticlimactic, but let’s move on.

We cut to a few days later.  Stray Kids are in a cafĂ© in Yuk Sam-Dong.  There’s an empty seat at their table, and I’m hoping this means that Lee Know is about to join them.


But no.  The seat is for JYP.  He arrives, and they have brunch.  The food looks amazing, and of course:

This show could have Stray Kids eating at the most expensive Michelin restaurant on Earth, eating off gold plates and using diamond utensils, and they’d still be chugging Sugar-Free Coke directly from the can.

JYP and the boys talk business.  The “Hellevator” music video is getting a lot of views and positive comments.  Then JYP asks to see their progress on an assignment he’d given them off camera.  It’s based on the talk he gave them a couple of episodes ago about honesty, sincerity, and modesty.  The boys had to evaluate themselves on these three characteristics.

This is a nice segment.  The boys read the things they want to improve about themselves.  I get a bit misty-eyed when Woojin reads about trying to be an honest person.  When he eventually winds up leaving Stray Kids, he’s going to have to fight hard against the false accusations made about him online.  He’s going to have to prove himself to be honest, sincere, and modest.  It’s not going to be easy.

Okay.  Now that the nice part is over, time to get back to work.  The next mission is to face the public by doing a busking event.  The boys all look anxious.  In a confessional, Changbin tells us that up until now, they’ve been performing for people they know or through broadcasts.  This will be the first time meeting their audience face to face.

And there’s something else.  They won’t just be playing for the public.  JYP is going to plant other professionals from the company in the audience.  These mystery listeners will be evaluating them.  Depending on the evaluation, someone else in the group might get eliminated. 

I can’t see how they can eliminate another person.  We’ve only got three episodes left after this, and we still have to get Lee Know back.  But STAYs keep telling me we really are going to lose someone else.  I feel like I’m watching a murder mystery and the STAYs don’t want to reveal spoilers.

With the way Bang Chan slumps at this news, I won’t be surprised if he’s the next one out.  He’ll just snap and run screaming out of the restaurant.  There’s only so much one K-pop group leader can handle on no sleep.

We now cut to Hongik University Station, a busy downtown area where all the store signs are blurred out.  (Korean broadcasting laws are very strict.)

Lots of singers and dancers are performing on the street, drawing crowds.  This looks like a fun place to hang out.  Our boys walk along the crowded streets with their selfie sticks, watching the performances and taking notes.



After this field trip, the boys return to the JYP building.  Felix stays up late practicing his Korean rap skills in that DEEP voice of his.  He tells us he’s still at risk of elimination.  We watch him struggle with the language, and I really feel for him.  Back when I started these recaps, I read an online lesson in beginner Korean, figuring I’d learn something simple, like how to say “hello.”  This is the word “hello” in Korean:  annyeonghaseyo.  I know how to pronounce it now, but the first time I saw it, I had no idea where to begin. 

We cut to a practice room, where the whole group has decided to prepare a new song for the busking mission.  It’s called “YAYAYA.”  Felix is worried, not just about the Korean lyrics, but because it’s a style of rap he’s not used to.  I’m getting a sinking feeling.  Is the show telegraphing that he’s going to be eliminated next? 

Later, we watch Felix write some motivational words in Korean text and tape it on a mirror.  He practices for hours.

Meanwhile, Hyunjin and I.N are practicing the choreo in another room.  We’re reminded that I.N is also at risk of being eliminated.  He and Felix are both working themselves past the point of exhaustion, practicing all night.

I don’t have what it takes to do something like this.

Finally, it’s D-Day.  The busking location is Shinchon, a region known for many universities.  College students are the perfect audience for this.  However, unlike the buskers they saw on their field trip, Stray Kids are getting an actual stage built for them with their logo.  And a backstage area.  This isn’t exactly busking.  This is a step up from that.  


The boys put their hands in and do a cheer, and this episode ends as they take the stage.  I notice that Felix isn’t blonde anymore.  Maybe he’s hoping that JYP can’t eliminate him if he can’t recognize him.




Yeah, this definitely isn’t busking.  We’re in for a full-on concert.  I can’t wait!  See you next episode!

Stray Kids, Episode 6: ready for the battle ground

Back to Site Table of Contents

(Written May 12, 2025)


Before we start this recap, attention must be paid.  Hyungwon was discharged from the military as I was writing this recap and is finally returning to Monsta X.  The entire band will be reunited soon, at least until I.M has to enlist.  I watched the livestream of his return and got these screenshots.  Welcome back, Hyungwon!  You have been seriously missed!


Back to business.  We’re at the halfway point of our Stray Kids series.  Our boys are about to do their first mission without Lee Know, who is busy plotting his return.  And I do know that someone else will get eliminated at some point, so recapping this show will be like keeping 50 plates spinning at once.  Let’s go!

We open with our boys walking down a city street, where the subtitles helpfully tell us, “Stray Kids are arriving somewhere.”  After a few seconds, we learn that this is quite the somewhere.  They’re going to YG Entertainment!

Welcome back to the recaps, YG Entertainment!  Those of you who read my Shining Solo and YG Treasure Box recaps will remember this visuals-obsessed company with its CEO’s bewildering criminal history.  Why in the world are Stray Kids here?

Turns out the next mission will be a battle with YG trainees.  Maybe it will be a tax evasion contest (ALLEGEDLY) or a race to see who can (ALLEGEDLY) threaten the most witnesses in a drug case!  This should be exciting (ALLEGEDLY)!

But no, this will be a band battle, the fourth one in a series of battles these two companies have hosted since 2001.  And who will the Stray Kids be up against?  Why, hello, Bang Yedam!

YG Treasure Box hasn’t been filmed yet in this show’s timeline, so right now he’s the star of YG’s trainees and not yet part of Treasure.  God, he looks so young.  He’s standing with several other YG teammates, but I can’t get a good look at any of them yet.

And of course, hello again to YG Entertainment’s CEO Yang Hyun-suk.  

It’s weird to see him now, knowing that in just a couple of years, he’ll be in a ton of legal misadventures, some of which will include Psy of “Gangnam Style” fame.  (Seriously, Google it sometime, or check out my YG Treasure Box wrap-up.  It’s a LOT.)

Changbin is so ready for this battle.  In a confessional, he tells us, “We didn’t come here to battle.  We came to teach you.”  Damn.  Then, as Yang Hyun-suk walks away, he mutters to his YG trainees, “If you don’t do well, you die.”  I’m sure he’s kidding, but DAMN.

Our Stray Kids huddle at the JYP building.  They have a week to prepare.  They sit in a half-circle facing camera, all their Coke cans in front of them with the labels also facing camera.  I love how not subtle the product placement is.

Bang Chan tells his group the battle will cover the three categories of vocal, dance, and rap.  Our vocal team is Seungmin, Woojin, and I.N.  But it looks like Han is on standby for this team, as Seungmin is dealing with a sore throat. The team will be doing their own arrangement of Blackpink’s “As If It’s Your Last.” 

Seungmin, Woojin, and I.N

Now for the dance team.  Felix wants to throw some acrobatics into the mix.  He does a backflip from a standing position, and my jaw hits the floor.

As for the rap battle, our 3RACHA team is handling that.  They will be performing their song “Matryashka,” which is the name of those Russian nesting dolls.  Bang Chan is also arranging the vocal team’s song as well as 3RACHA’s song, so the poor guy is working through the night.  I like how he’s turning Blackpink’s original bright, poppy song into something dark and sinister.  Eventually, his energy runs out, and he falls asleep in his chair.

We cut to the Stray Kids rehearsing during the day, and JYP stops by to check on progress.  The rap team goes first. JYP is disappointed with Han’s flow.  I’m a little confused because in the previous mission, he had nothing but praise for Han.  I’m still wondering if he’s trying to turn the bandmates against each other.  Bang Chan gets some minor criticism as well, but he’s been operating on no sleep. 

JYP wants Bang Chan to make changes to the rap song, and since that’s going to keep him busy, he only wants Han and Changbin to do the rap battle.  Now I’m wondering if JYP is getting enough sleep.  If Han isn’t performing that well, shouldn’t Bang Chan stay in the group to help cover?

I guess not.  Now for the vocalists and their revised Blackpink song.  Woojin starts strong, but I.N struggles to stay on key.  I’m getting worried.  He’s already been at risk of elimination earlier in the series.  My fears get worse when JYP eliminates him from the vocal battle.  He’ll have to stay on the sidelines.  Meanwhile, in another strange decision, Bang Chan will be replacing I.N on the vocal team.  Wasn’t he supposed to be too busy working on the music?

Now for the dance evaluation, and it looks like everyone is going to be on this team.  I love the cute opening sequence.

True to form, the dance then morphs into something more dark and aggressive.  We only get to see a few seconds.  I can’t wait to see the whole thing.

JYP, who is really being a bummer today, praises Felix’s dancing but says he needs more confidence and charisma.  I never thought I’d see the day when someone told Felix he wasn’t charismatic enough.  However, JYP likes the overall performance and decides not to cut anyone.  That’s a relief.  At least I.N can participate in the dance battle. 

JYP is still worried about the vocal battle.  So am I.  Bang Yedam is one hell of a singer.

We get a montage of the group rehearsing over the next few days.  “We’ll eat up the stage,” Woojin promises us.  

Finally, it’s D-Day!  Our boys return to the YG building to kick some Kpop butt.  Outside the building, JYP inspects the troops.  Then they stride confidently inside, prepared for battle.

Our YG Team, led by Bang Yedam, is waiting.  I can’t get a good look at the other trainees.  After recapping YG Treasure Box, I’m looking for familiar faces.  Bang Chan recognizes Jeongwoong right away.  Why does his name sound familiar? (checking Google)  Okay, he’s now the main vocalist of AB6IX, and I’ve seen some of their videos.  He used to be with JYP and trained with Bang Chan.

I could swear I recognize a couple more faces on the YG team, but the camera is focusing on Bang Yedam.  Also, their CEO Yang Hyun-suk hasn’t arrived yet, probably because he’s having to make bail again (ALLEGEDLY).   While everyone waits, JYP asks the YG team their names, and HEY – it’s Doyoung, soon to be of Treasure!  He’s only thirteen years old here.  Everyone is surprised at how young he is.

Before we can meet the others, CEO Yang finally arrives, rubbing his wrists from where the handcuffs were chafing him I’M KIDDING.  I’ll stop, I promise.  What we actually see is even weirder.  He’s playfully dragging someone with him in a headlock.  We find that it’s Yoo Byungjae, television personality and former writer for Saturday Night Live Korea.  What is he doing here?  We never get an answer.  He awkwardly greets everyone and then leaves.  That was … strange.  Why wasn’t that edited out?

Yoo Byungjae looks genuinely scared in this picture.


Moving on.  We meet another YG Trainee – Choi Raesung, who is now a YG producer under the name MILLENNIUM.  I want to meet the rest of them, because I think I see more Treasure members, but the battles are about to begin. 

JYP wishes everyone the best.  CEO Yang looks at his team and says, “Do well, or I’ll kill you.”  Everyone laughs, but this is the second time he’s done this, and I legitimately think he’s crazy.

We get a sweet moment when the teams hug each other before battling for the chance to get murdered by their CEO.

I recognize future Treasure member Jihoon in the YG group, so basically Stray Kids will be battling Treasure.  Then finally, we get a cutaway to the whole YG team.

Seunghoon is here.  He won’t make it into Treasure, but he’ll go on to debut with CIX.  Lee Mi Dam is also here.  He was on YG Treasure Box but left the show early. 

Rap Battle Time!  Changbin and Han are up first.  It’s their first time performing without Bang Chan.

They give an electrifying performance.  Even the YG team is cheering.  This is the best performance I’ve seen on this series so far.  CEO Yang is very impressed, calling their rhythm excellent and telling them to keep working hard.  JYP is proud of them.

Next up is Bang Yedam with a vocal performance.  I love Stray Kids, but I also love that I’m getting a chance to hear this guy sing again.  He sings the Shawn Mendes song “There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back.”  The language is no barrier – he sounds like a native English speaker.  What a voice.

Now it’s time for the Stray Kids vocal team of Woojin, Bang Chan, and Han.  Did we just skip the YG rap team?  Maybe they’re saving that for the next episode.  When our vocal team says the name of the song they’re performing, CEO Yang looks very interested.  I’d forgotten that Blackpink is a YG group.  He says, “You can get eliminated on this show, right?”  Everyone laughs nervously. 

Bang Chan gets set up – he’s going to be playing keyboards as well as singing.  Then we suddenly cut to a flashback of this group rehearsing, and they keep making mistakes.  It looks like the show is jamming a Flashback Formula in here just before the episode ends.  We’ll have to see the performance next time.

So we’re ending on a cliffhanger.  Will the Stray Kids beat the YG group?  Will I.N be the next Stray Kid to be eliminated?  When is Lee Know coming back?  Will CEO Yang get time off for good behavior?

See you next episode!

Let’s talk about YG Treasure Box.

Back to Site Table of Contents

(Written March 13, 2025)


KKP!:  YG Treasure Box was UNREAL. 


Right after watching the YG Treasure Box finale, I had to take a break from writing my recap to go to my dental cleaning appointment.  While in the waiting room, I figured I’d use the time to pull out my phone and research what happened to Treasure after the show.  

By the time they called me into the room, I was a confused mess.  Here is a partial transcript of my appointment:

Me (while the hygenist is cleaning my teeth):  Unf onf feefh dis!
Hygenist:  What won’t I believe?
Me:  Za gruf cuddin dezu cuz seeoh ent ta dale!
Hygenist:  The CEO went to jail?
Me:  Un expeddushns uh too aye!
Hygenist:  Yes, well, sometimes high expectations cause stress for a group before they can debut.  Rinse, please.

When I got home and read some more, I realized it wasn’t just YG Entertainment mismanagement that caused problems for the group.  But let’s start there, since that’s what caused the delay with the debut.

After the finale aired on January 18, 2019, the final three members were revealed to be Jeongwoo, Jaehyuk, and Hyun Suk.  So after an awkward and unnecessary weeklong delay, we finally had our seven members.  They were scheduled to debut sometime between May and July of 2019.  So far, so good.

According to the Kpop Wiki, right after the members were announced, CEO Yang decided to bring some of the eliminated members back from the show and form a second group called Magnum.  This group consisted of Jihoon, Yoshi, Yoon Bin, Mashiho and his back flips, Asahi, and Doyoung.  So at least now all our future Treasure members are back in the game.  CEO Yang was going to debut this group later in 2019, after Treasure debuted.  

It must have been hell to work for CEO Yang during this time.

CEO Yang:  We’re forming a new boy band!  It will have five members!
Assistant:  Great idea, sir!
CEO Yang:  No wait, ten members.  No, five!  No, seven!
Assistant:  Sir, we’re already halfway through filming the series.
CEO Yang:  Okay, seven then.  Wait, what happened to the other trainees?
Assistant:  You eliminated them, sir.
CEO Yang:  Bring two of them back for the finale!
Assistant:  O….kay.
CEO Yang:  What a great finale!  How many final group members have we announced so far?
Assistant:  Four, sir.  You’re supposed to announce the other three after commercial.
CEO Yang:  Nope!  We’ll end the show now and announce the rest next week.
Assistant:  …
CEO Yang:  What happened to the other trainees?
Assistant:  (swallowing a handful of Xanax)  You eliminated them, sir.  Remember?
CEO Yang:  Bring them back!  We’ll have TWO bands!
Assistant:  Bring them back yourself.  I quit.

I’m pretty sure the above scene isn’t completely fictional.  After both bands were announced, CEO Yang announced that the Magnum and Treasure would be promoting together.  And separately.  Then he said, you know what?  Two groups is too much of a hassle.  Let’s debut them all together as Treasure 13.

Just as I’m starting to wonder if maybe the real reason the CEO went to prison was because he was snorting coke by the bucket, he then announced that the entire debut was put on hold because of a series of scandals.  Scandals, plural.   According to Koreaboo, they included (settle in folks):

March 2019:  Remember early in these recaps when we talked about Seungri from BigBang and how he was involved in the Burning Sun scandal?  Around this time, disposal trucks began showing up at YG Entertainment, and CEO Yang had to release a statement saying they were NOT shredding documents.  Then, in a completely unrelated matter, the cops found that CEO Yang owned nightclubs that were allegedly evading taxes.

April 2019:  CEO Yang is accused of receiving preferential treatment regarding bank loans.  He allegedly borrowed the equivalent of almost nine million dollars USD and used the YG Entertainment building as collateral.  Keep in mind, this was when he was putting two bands together instead of just the one, so at this point I have a theory that he was desperately trying to bring in more money to pay back these loans.

May 2019:  This is around the time that the original Treasure from the show was supposed to debut.  Here’s where CEO Yang now gets hit with a flood of charges involving solicitation of prostitutes.  He was accused of hiring prostitutes for VIPs in the industry and giving them (the prostitutes) (and who knows, maybe the VIPs) expensive Chanel bags as part of the payment.  He sent an email to all the staff at YG Entertainment, denying the claims.

June 2019:  This is where EVERYTHING blew up.  Not only is CEO Yang still fighting off charges about the prostitutes and the loans and the tax evasion and the document shredding, but here’s where he’s accused of witness tampering in the case of iKON’s B.I’s drug use.  Also, PSY got dragged into this mess.  Remember the “Gangnam Style” guy?  Well, he AND our CEO were accused of hiring prostitutes at an adult entertainment place during something called an “alcohol gathering.”  It was at this point that the CEO resigned from YG Entertainment in order to spend more time with his prostitutes.  LAWYERS.  I meant lawyers. 

Lots more happened after this, including PSY having to cancel concerts because of the fan backlash AND the CEO being accused of illegal gambling on top of everything else.  And to no one’s surprise, this is when YG Entertainment ALLEGEDLY had a problem with their trainees trying to leave the company.  In August 2019, it was reported that all the trainees from both YG Treasure Box and Produce 101 had left the agency.  YG Entertainment denied this.  This is the one thing I actually believe them on, as today, Treasure is still signed with YG.

So. Where did that leave our Treasure/Magnum/Treasure 13 boys?  Their debut was delayed through the rest of 2019 while all this was going on.  Group member Yoon Bin cancelled his contract in December 2019. 

In January of 2020, it was announced that Treasure 13 was moving forward.  (The timeline is a bit sketchy here.  Different websites have different timelines, and I understand completely because trying to follow all this gave me a migraine.  Also keep in mind that COVID was hitting around this time, which I’m sure contributed to more delays.)

Treasure began releasing music and promotional material in January and February of 2020, but in May, Yedam began releasing solo material.  YG Entertainment told everyone who would listen that this was TOTALLY part of the plan and that they’d been producing solo music for Yedam before Treasure was even formed.  (And yet they still put him through the survival show.  Let’s just say I have my doubts.)  Finally the debut for the group was announced for August 2020.

The good news is that the debut was a huge success, despite the insane pressure the group was experiencing at this point.  They became the fastest Korean act to chart on the Billboard Social 50 (which ranks the most active musicians on social media) and logged nearly 1.5 million subscribers on their YouTube channel.

They released music and did a web drama and fan meeting, and everything was going incredibly well.  However, Mashiho and Yedam went on hiatus from the group in early 2022 and announced their departure later that year.  That leaves Treasure as the 10-member group we know today.  (I want to add that Mashiho and Yedam got out just in time, before Treasure had to film Shining Solo.)

The group members had a couple of individual scandals that hurt them.  Hyun Suk was accused of cultural appropriation in 2023 because of a braided hairstyle he wore in a video, and Haruto was accused of homophobic behavior in 2024 that lost the group a lot of fans.  However, neither of these scandals seem to have slowed the momentum.  While I was recapping this series, Treasure announced their first US Tour, which begins in less than a month in New York.

As for CEO Yang, he was originally acquitted of threatening the informant in the iKON drug case, but in 2023 the acquittal was overturned.  He spent six months in prison and was under a one-year probation, which has been completed as I write this. 

He returned to YG Entertainment in late 2023 and helped produce the girl group BABYMONSTER.  He made a not-at-all-creepy statement to the press about how the youth of the girls in the group resonated with him because he has a daughter their age.  Mr. Yang is in his 50s.  The youngest member of BABYMONSTER is fifteen years old.  I need all the showers.

There is probably so much more to be said, but I’m done.  I have spent almost 12 straight hours covering the finale and then writing this wrap-up.

There will always be a special place in my heart for Treasure, and I’m very excited to read the upcoming reviews and see the TikToks from their first American tour.  After everything they have been through, they deserve all the love and success.  I will always keep them on my radar.

Right now, I need sleep.  Tomorrow I’ll start working on Debut’s Plan, a new survival show from Starship Entertainment, the company that brought us Monsta X.  In fact, some members of Monsta X will be coaching and judging on Debut’s Plan.  The show will steam on YouTube, or maybe it’s already started.  I’m too tired to go look.

Huge, HUGE amounts of love to aplateoflasagna and jeongjeongii on Tumblr for so much of the background information on Treasure, as well as feedback on these recaps and the ones for Shining Solo.  Now let’s all get some sleep.

The Diary of Yijin, the famous K-pop baby

  (Written February 7, 2026) Back to Site Table of Contents Annyeong!   My name is Yoo Yijin.  I’m two and a half years old, I live in Icheo...
