I immigrated here from Korea when I was 12. Assimilated well, while still staying in touch to my heritage through consuming Korean media, eating a lot of our foods, speaking Korean at home, etc.. Drifted a little from my Korean-ness in college since I found a lot of the Koreans are very cliquey and only hang out amongst themselves. But have always felt this very strong, inexplicable longing for “being Korean,” almost missing the memories that I never even had. I don’t even really have the words to describe this feeling to be able to discuss it in any meaningful way, but would love recommendations on books (fiction or non-fiction) to help with that.
