19: Shen Li (Kang Park-Min post)

Min was so happy to be talking Korean again, he helped out a couple of students who were learning the language but conversation was a delight.
“Please do not worry if you do not remember where anything is,” Min said. “Once you have your schedule you can tap for directions on your phone. Most lessons take place in the main education block or the greenhouse. Your phone or tablet will get you there. You will find your way around and we might have some classes together, they tend to group us by ability rather than age.”
Min liked how easily Shen spoke about his family, min shared some too.
He had been adopted after his birth family had been lost, fishing in the East Sea was not always a safe way to make a living. He related about his sister’s obsession with teen dramas, of which Korea produced a great number. Min had humoured her but had to think hard about which one was which, and away from home they had begun to blur one into another.
"Dancing is cool, do you free style or some sort of K Pop boy band choreograph?"
Min smiled. “Definitely K Pop boy band choreograph,” he said pulling out his phone. He played a video of a band called Aces, it was a rooftop and ten Korean youths with individualised hair colours danced to a track called ‘Missing’. It took a moment to realise that Min was one of the performers, although his hair was stark white and he was the smallest of the group.
“We got to number two in the Billboard chart in Korea with Missing. We did quite well in Europe too got to number seven there but we stayed in the chart for weeks and weeks. We did four videos for it, we did the same choreography each time. You can see it shift between the two on the rooftop between day and night and the cut is flawless because we had to be that precise. My favourite if the night time one.”
