Former Newscaster and YouTube Creator’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes   Former Newscaster and YouTube Creator’s Pick   2022.11.07   In Korea, there is a saying, “Autumn is the season of books.” Just like the saying, it feels as if you have to have the romantic moment of reading a book at a park, cherishing the red, falling leaves.
