“A story of children who wanted to die, and yet wanted to live.”
The first short novel by singer-songwriter Han Roro.
Grapefruit Apricot Club is a novel tied to Han Roro’s forthcoming third EP music album of the same name. Since his debut single Ipchun (Beginning of Spring), he has crafted music about youth living in society’s shadows—a reflection of his own struggles as a young person surviving in Korean society. Life Pattern Korea.
From Flight of the Strange Ones encouraging dreamers, to House exposing the cruelty of a society where the confused torment one another, Han Roro’s next gaze fell upon “children being driven out.” He wished to capture the brutal reality that not only adults but also children are being pushed to the edge. A twenty-minute album could not contain it all, and so he offers us this longer-breath novel. Life Pattern Korea.
Four children who want to die meet in a secret club called the Grapefruit Apricot Club and promise to save one another. Soha, Taesoo, Yumin, and Bohyun gather because they can no longer bear their harsh lives, and their episodes unfold desperately under the banner of survival. Through descriptions that feel like lived experience, Han Roro illuminates the many wounds embedded in our youth. Life Pattern Korea.
Childhood, meant to be the most innocent and beautiful of times, is scarred by adults weighed down with reality. By witnessing this tragedy of our cruel age through the novel, readers will confront their own cruelty and find a chance to become more generous adults.
