(1/3) “We both came to America as part of a performance troupe. I was an actress and he was a musician. During the day he worked as a taxi driver, and I remember that he’d always bring pizza and share it with everyone at rehearsal. He was tall like an American. I was very curious about him. One of the other actresses told me that he’d been a famous jazz musician back in Seoul. I’d recently done a performance in Paris, so I was feeling pretty famous myself, and I got up the courage to approach him. We ended up going out for drinks and then to a jazz club. We spent all night talking. We didn’t even sleep. The next morning we drank some Korean hangover soup and went to church.”
