“I just live for 90 days”
Holding a written sign, a pretty girl stands in the middle of one of the most crowded streets in downtown Seoul. She sometimes walks around without any expression. A blogger, rlaalswjdwjd, posted a video clip of the girl and wonders who this “90il nyeo” (90 day girl) is (ko). It has been one of the most popular key words on the Korean internet.
