After missing his flight back to Seoul, a disillusioned K-pop idol finds love, acceptance, and the strength to fight for his own happiness at last.

As a member of the internationally beloved K-pop group Apollo, Eunjae has learned firsthand that fame and fortune come at a steep price. But leaving it all behind is easier said than done, and it seems Eunjae has no choice but to continue… until he steps through the orange door at Wanna Waffle on the way to the airport, fails to catch his plane to Seoul, and upends his entire existence.

Jiyeon and her family don’t know the truth about this quiet, handsome stranger who stumbled into their restaurant. Regardless, it’s clear that he needs them. And the longer he stays, the more Eunjae realizes that he might just be willing to trade the adoration of millions for home, family, and even one chance at true love. But his powerful entertainment agency will never let him go without a fight, and Apollo’s fate hangs in the balance along with his own. If Eunjae hopes to win, he must stand his ground and fight back — not only for himself, but for the brothers who have loved and supported him all this time.

Brimming with warmth, waffles, and too many brothers, This Place is Magic will resonate with any reader searching for a comforting escape. Debut author Irene Te delivers a cozy contemporary read interwoven with found family and gentle romance. Step through that orange door for a heartfelt, hilarious, and irrepressibly hopeful journey of self-discovery, perfect for fans of Axie Oh and Jenny Han.

To keep the whiteness as seamless as possible, the designers selected glass for the tabletops; its transparency makes it an ideal surface in rooms where airiness is called for. The round table in the middle of the living room displays books and a collection of stoneware vases.

I wear my sunglasses at night

So I can, so I can

Watch you weave then breathe your story lines

And I wear my sunglasses at night

So I can, so I can

Keep track of the visions in my eyes

While, she's deceiving me

It cuts my security

Has she got control of me?

I turn to her and say

Don't switch the blade on the guy in shades, oh no

Don't masquerade with the guy in shades, oh no

I can't believe it

'Cause you've got it made with the guy in shades, oh no

I wear my sunglasses at night

So I can, so I can

Forget my name while you collect your claim

And I wear my sunglasses at night

So I can, so I can

See the light that's right before my eyes

While she's deceiving me

She cuts my security

Has she got control of me?

I turn to her and say

Don't switch the blade on the guy in shades, oh no

Don't masquerade with the guy in shades, oh no

I can't believe it

Don't be afraid of the guy in shades, oh no

It can't escape you

'Cause you got it made with the guy in shades, oh no

Oh no

I say

I wear my sunglasses at night

I wear my sunglasses at night

I wear my sunglasses at night

I say it to you now

I wear my sunglasses at night

I wear my sunglasses at night

I wear my sunglasses at night

I cry to you

I wear my sunglasses at night

I wear my sunglasses

In honor of Succession's wins at the Golden Globes, here's an appropriate LAMINATOR Vol. 1 zine sneak peek: An oil painting called Succession Finale by Evanston painter Kathy Halper. Pre-order your copy here! Her [relatable for many—maybe even most—artists, myself included] statement:

"A funny thing happened in 2020. I realized I was enjoying the shut-down. Like a lot. It was the life of which I had always dreamt. Suddenly the world was aligned with my anti-social instincts.

I became hyper focused on my routines and relationships. With affection and tongue-in-cheek awareness of the tedium of life, I began oil paintings focused on the rut of 30 years of marriage, dogs in my personal space and staring at screens. My goal: to preserve and observe life while I live it.

Warped perspectives emerged as a way to create tension in the benign stories, as well as insert my own ever-present anxiety where there would appear to be none.

I am inspired by artists such as Marisol and Faith Ringgold, who used folk art to simplify and subvert expectations, and Grayson Perry for his irreverent humor. I also love the painterly interiors of Bonnard and Munch. What has emerged is a personal and clear eyed, if skewed, diary of my life."

Kathy will also have a solo exhibition at Evanston Art Center called JOMO: The Joy of Missing Out, where you can see this piece (and others) in person. The show will be on view Jan. 10-Feb. 18. Congratulations, Kathy!
