Connectedness Quote by Greta Lee
“Yes, well, inyeon is just really about human connectedness. It's something that, maybe even for me personally, this concept felt foreign to me and philosophical, maybe academic. But the reality is, for Koreans, it's a very casual concept used every day and can even be used to describe a relationship with an object.”
