Alex publishes an essay collection

Last year, Clazziquai singer Horan put out an essay collection; now her bandmate Alex is coming out with an essay collection of his own, a food-related book called Alex’s Spoon. (The tagline under the title reads, “A food diary of a sweet guy living a delicious life.”)

This shouldn’t come as too much of a stretch for the vocalist, or be a surprise for his fans; Alex was reportedly a chef in his pre-singer days, and not long ago hosted a food program on Japanese television called Delicious Korea.

Although food is the main theme, Alex’s Spoon also contains essays describing childhood family memories, his thoughts about making music, and a look back at his love relationships. The book includes photographs, recipes, recommended restaurants, and so forth.

Alex is currently promoting the song “Tell Yourself,” and recently gave a solo concert at Akasaka Blitz in Japan on September 19. The book Alex’s Spoon will be published on September 23 — which, incidentally, is the same day that Yonsama‘s own food and culture book, Journey in Search of Korea’s Beauty, will be released.

Ooo...I never knew he was a chef before debut. That's wonderful! I guess he is the total package: the looks, voice, and now that he can cook!

Yes, the latest album is really good. I look forward to hearing more about this book.

oh, another fun book! i was getting so excited about bae young joons book and trying to figure out how to buy it and now this sounds great too. then, it hit me that i don't read korean very fluently so it might be hard to enjoy them! i am so into korean culture and language and music etc. that sometimes i forget that i am not korean myself. huhuhu! i bet i could figure out the recipes though and i bet the pictures would be awesome. i did buy tablos book which is in english and i loved it.

I honestly thought that was coming from his nose and was really disgusted for a second.

Geez if only they came out with bilingual editions....

Yonsama's would be interesting from a Korean Cultural aspect. But then again that is not the real selling point is it? It's Yonsama. BTW Yonsama you really really need a haircut pronto. Even if you are using it to channel Kung-Fu for the cover for yr book. It's done now so please cut it.

Alex's would be great for the yumminess.....food and otherwise. hehe

Re: Mishane LMAO! It is probably not the best shot to use of Alex :P

Oh, he must be a good cook!

Although, I think the cover would have been a lot better without the noodle coming out and the blurred chopstick. You can't even tell what it is unless you looked closely at it.

@6 kitipan -

The book is listed for people in u.s. on the korean american on line book store web page below:

http://www.aladdin.co.kr/shop/wproduct.aspx?ISBN=8961889524

They have an english web site hanbooks.com also, but, if i remember correcly, doesn't list much, so you have to ask for thing, and it always costs more than the korean web site.

It so ridiculous to see that people publish their essay collection just for fun and I can`t even write one as an assignment on my own. Especially, last distance term I was always using Paperell.com because I was supposed to write so much essays. It was the best website that writes essays for me, but I feel that I have relaxed so much, so I can`t write in my own anymore. I even found some educational courses on https://www.udemy.com/, but firstly I would like to read this collection and maybe just to try write. The fall term has strerted, so I need to boost)
