Dear beloved readers, it’s Ethel here, and honestly, it’s with a mix of happy tears and buzzing excitement that I’m writing to you today. For years, this blog has been our cherished space, a vibrant community celebrating the wonders of Korean culture. Sharing my passion with each of you, watching our discussions bloom, it’s been an incredibly rewarding journey, you know? Your enthusiasm, your insightful comments, and your sheer joy in exploring culture alongside me—it’s truly ignited a new spark.

The Journey So Far: Reflecting on Our Korean Culture Community
Honestly, it feels like just yesterday I started this blog, sharing my first thoughts on K-dramas or the subtle art of making kimchi. Over the years, this space grew into something truly special. It wasn’t just a blog; it became a meeting point for fellow enthusiasts, a place where we could all learn and grow together. We’ve explored everything from ancient traditions to the latest K-pop trends, haven't we? The discussions we’ve had, the new perspectives I’ve gained from you all—these are memories I’ll forever cherish. It’s been more than a passion project; it's been a profound connection with a community I truly love.

Why "Ethel's Culture Notes"? My Inspiration Unveiled
You know, the more I delved into Korean culture, the more I realized how interconnected our world truly is. A traditional Korean folk tale might echo themes found in ancient Greek myths, or a modern K-pop dance could pull inspiration from global street styles. My own personal journey of discovery started to feel... well, a little too confined to just one beautiful country. I started jotting down notes, ideas, and reflections on various cultures I encountered, whether through books, travel (even armchair travel!), or just conversations. That's how "Ethel's Culture Notes" was born. It’s a space where I can share these broader explorations, still with that deeply personal touch you've come to expect from me.
To give you a clearer picture of how "Ethel's Culture Notes" expands our cultural journey, here’s a quick comparison:
