This wasn't my first trip to South Korea.But this was the first time I went there for business purposes and no matter what, this place seriously riles me up until I'd be jumping in my seat as people look at me weirdly as the plane is about to land.

I myself was a music enthusiast.So,when our Boss Lady told me that I'll be interviewing a C.E.O and founder of an Entertainment company,I was seriously excited. I've listened for the last decade without droping out and well...at times I've dreamed of auditioning for a K-pop Entertainment company and getting accepted.But Well...They stayed a dream as this was all alien to me.Will I be accepted?Do I have what it takes?I've always wondered.And grew old.So,maybe,this wouldn't help me in getting back that dream.But it might help you my dear readers.

I'm an evening person.I enjoy walks in the evening and that's why after contacting the Cherry Entertainment I got an appointment for a meeting with the C.E.O of the same for my first evening in Seoul.As I've been here before and lived here as a part of a student exchange program during my college studies,the language or the streets weren't new to me,so unlike our Mel,I was able to find the right place soon.

The Company building stood tall and proud as I walked into it's compound.It was eco-friendly and very modern and I thought of getting a job here but thinking of my friends and home back in the states I had to let out a sigh and walk inside taking my time savouring every intake of air and the wind that flew against me.

I was surprised to meet Ms. Im Soori ,the person I was to interview waiting for me at the front with a kind smile and a cup of Hot Chocolate which she gave me as soon as I reached her.I needed it.I really did.It was the best when the Seoul Winds were as cold as ever.

She asked me about my journey here and about my family back home as she led me to a nice room with carpeted floors,a fireplace and some nice furniture and by then we had established a nice friendship and all the nervousness I had was gone by then.The room had a great collection of guitars too which got my attention instantly. It was apparently Ms. Im Soori's leisure room. It seems that playing those helped her calm down and focus more. Before we started the interview she taught me how to play a nice tune and it was with that music in my head that I interviewed the Sweet Lady of Cherry Entertainment.
