Quotes by Kim Yideum (?)

“Someone once told me that the book on someone's bedside table reveals a lot about the person -- their tastes, but also the mental space they are in. Perhaps Jihyun -- based on this song -- is dreaming of a simple, conventional life. He might always have been that way. It's a good thing, I think, to be able to listen to a popular song and be able to feel something. That means you are part of a larger world, the majority of people. I want that life -- it's simple, pleasant way to live.”
― Kim Yideum, Blood Sisters
