This is a diary entry in the sense that it should maybe be relegated to the diary…I love that iD straddles the line between journalism and confessional/playful writing, but there are far more interesting, engaging, thoughtful, and critical ways to write about Seoul and an experience that seems so personally enriching! U said we’re not unpacking the brand trip ecosystem today, but I would love to see ur writing talents used on a piece like that and less on this.
I'm glad i-D and brands still have the means/will to have journalists go on press trips but this belongs on a livejournal entry, not a professional magazine's substack.
