POP Goes the Herald

There is a nice little profile of POP GOES KOREA (and me) over in the online newspaper the Herald de Paris. Along with a goofy picture of me looking all faux-pensive.

As the writer, Marine Vidal says by way of introduction:

Back to school! Vacation time is over, but no need to depress; we can still travel the world through a good book. What better estrangement than to read about South Korea? A recommended pick isPop Goes Korea, by longtime Canadian expat journalist Mark Russell.

I think that article is the closest thing I have ever had to an actual profile. It is kind of an odd feeling, and I sympathize for all the people who have suffered through the same experience for one of my articles. But the reporter was very nice, the experience was mostly painless, and the story was quite complimentary, which is about all you can ask for.
