People used to always ask me who my best friend was, and I used to never be able to answer that

question. Now I can confidently tell people my best friend is Min Young. Min Young is from South Korea,

and we have been friends since the 3^rdgrade. We both grew up in America and moved around due to the

various jobs our parents find. I haven’t seen her in 6 years because we both ended up moving to different

states, but our love for Korean dramas and Kpop have kept our friendship alive. Near the end of our high

school careers, it was Kpop and Kdramas that relieved our stress and gave us the strength to get out of

bed every day. Min Young and I are very different when it comes to watching kdramas.  She likes to watch

multiple dramas at a time, and she often has trouble finishing them. Me on the other hand, I can only be

obsessed with one drama at a time, and then I usually end up suffering from post-korean drama depression

(if that even exists).  It just that I get really sad after finishing a really good drama, after being

attached to it for weeks. Even though we’re different when it comes to watching Korean drama habits, we

are really similar in our kpop tastes. Our favorite bands include: Shinee, Suju, DBSK, 2pm, MBLAQ, SNSD,

f(x), KARA…and much more, but our most favorite group of all is EXO. We both love Exo M and Exo K, but

she likes Exo K a little more since she’s Korean, and I like Exo M a little more because I’m Chinese.

So the story begins, when we both end up going to the same college together. It’s always been our dream

to attend Harvard together, and the day admissions decisions came out was one of the happiest days of

our lives. We immediately informed each other of the great news on Facebook chat.

Min Young: OMG!!!! I can’t believe I got in!!

Me: I know!!! It’s like a dream come true!! I’m so out of breath from running around my neighborhood

screaming!!

Min Young: LOL!! I can’t believe I finally get to see you!! It’s been sooooo long!

Me: Hey! Did you know Harvard has a South Korean exchange program?!?!

Min Young: Ha! Of course I do!! It’s one of the fabulous reasons why I applied to Harvard.

Me: AHHH!! It’s going to be sooo exciting! Me and you exploring SOUTH KOREA!! WOOO HOOO
