Korea Gig Guide

Big Time Senility

Okay, apologies if you already have heard this, but I found it an amusing story.
And having just seen the Bjork concert, it seemed vaguely relevant.

So, last year at some point, Matthew Barney was in town. Barney being, of course, Bjork’s husband. A well known artist in his own right, of course. I believe he had some work being displayed at the Lee Eum Gallery in Itaewon.

After a fun day of artsy activities (whatever they were), Barney feels like going out and having a good time. So his guides for his trip take him to Hongdae, where they intend on going dancing at M2 (the biggest dance club in Hongdae). Only they were not allowed in. Too old. And no one recognized him as Bjork’s hubby.

No idea if it is true or just some random bit of Hongdae gossip, but it amused me terribly.
