genetically we're 1/4-korean?

.5 + 0 = .5, no?

oh yeah, math isn't your strong suit. :) or perhaps you referring to our child?

Well, hello, MATT KELLEY!

Since we are one, happy, Seoul Calling unit, we are 25% Korean and 75% whitey.

Challenging my math skills is always fair, but I was trying to be cute and clever here. Cut me some slack!

Ciao Abby,

I just happened to find your show today while listeneing at work. I was listening to one of your broadcasts from earlier in the week and you played a song called "Peter Pan Complex" or maybe it was from a film called "Peter Pan Complex"?

Do you happen to know who recorded that song?

Great job on your show by the way. I also checked out what your work profile consists of...and you have a ton of work to do, so if it gets too busy to let me know the answer - no problem.

World up,
Enzo Simone

Hi, Enzo!

Thanks so much for listening to the show and visiting my blog. It's always great to hear from our listeners.

The song you heard was by Peter Pan Complex and Shin Hye Chul. The title is "Annyeong" which means "hello" and "goodbye". I'm told that in this case, it's meant to be "Goodbye".

Let me know if there's anything else I can help you with!
