Oxford Soju Club (2025)
Jinwoo Park
"Oxford Soju Club is an astute examination of identity, diaspora, and longing cleverly masquerading as a spy thriller. Against the backdrop of political intrigue and covert espionage, Jinwoo Park peels back the layers on the many masks immigrants and those with multiple identities must contend with to form a kaleidoscopic picture of what it means to be Korean in today's modern world."
