Half-conscious Koreans
I was walking out of a Fred Perry store in Gangnam’s COEX shopping mall when I decided I’d write this column. The man working there was incredibly friendly, happy to speak Korean, and he showed me how to sign-up to an app so I could get a decent discount on the two jumpers I bought for winter. Yet, the whole time, he had a single Bluetooth earphone in. Not two. Just one. I’m not sure if he was listening to something or not. I don’t think so, to be honest. But, nevertheless, there it was: his gateway into his world and an escape from the mundane reality of the service industry.
