-Bangi, Songpa, Seoul, Republic of Korea-

with IZ, LJY + M

“Number One Fan” LJY is back in town (see most recently 15.304 Ganjang Gejang), this time with her younger daughter M, whom I’d last seen nearly 7 years ago (see 9.360 Teppanyaki: Maine Scallops + Nova Scotia Lobster Tail).

She remains “Number One Fan” simply because the blog no longer as any fans, which means she is also “Number One Worst Fan.”  I was flabbergasted to find that she’d visited Jinmi this trip but had zero awareness that I’d covered the restaurant countless times (see for example 9.294 Indubitably, the World’s Best MNM), going so far as to label it “my favorite restaurant in the world.”  Similarly, she had seen the video of the boilermaker show, but not via GMTD (see 14.173 VIP Special Set).  As far as I could determine, her last comment was over 4 years ago (see 12.051 Battle: Blood!); she didn’t even bother to comment on the comfort food battle, even though she’d participated in it, so who knows if she bothered to read the post (see 12.138 Battle: Comfort!).  Sigh.
