“Life becomes fun the moment you admit that you are X.”
The first essay by Fooderba, a mutant in the Instagram magazine world who survived in the shadows, has been published!

The first book of Food Bar, a curated magazine for hipsters, has been published.
The book compiles the story of Food Bar's underground content creation, which has now become a genre in itself, including the meme, "If this book is on his/her bookshelf, run away immediately."
How did this fringe figure, once known as "the weird kid who sees weird things and likes weird things," become the operator of a one-man magazine secretly adored by hipsters? The book includes reviews of the shadowy subculture content that influenced him, along with interviews with figures who have built deep fan bases, including Choi Sung, Taeho Seoul, and Ghost Club.
A 'Hipster Bingo' quiz is included as an appendix to help you gauge your own hipster power.

As I will explain later, I am a person with a bad taste who sees things that others do not see, hears things that others do not hear, and feels intellectual vanity.
My content, which featured books that had been handpicked by no one in the school library and had a fresh, almost brand-new smell, received a passionate response from people.
'Why on earth?' It was an ironic situation, but one thing was clear.
This may be the last chance I'll ever have in my insignificant life.
With mixed feelings, I posted a similar type of post titled “Top 7 Movies That Will Give You a Bad Aftereffect After Watching Them.”
As a result, this time it received an even hotter response than before.
It was the moment when doubt turned into certainty.
'ah...
'People like strange things, don't they?' That's how Foodbar started.

Courage is a kind of English word.
Just as the range of experiences you can have if you can speak English expands tremendously, the number of things you can do if you have the courage to do them increases.
A cowardly Pudderba is just a cyber-phantom who makes weird stuff in the corner of his room, but a courageous Pudderba is someone who makes and sells goods, gets featured on the news, and opens pop-ups to talk to thousands of fans.

For the first time in my life, I successfully completed a project that I had planned entirely on my own.
It was a high level of pleasure that couldn't be compared to when I received a bonus once a month.
In particular, seeing reviews that were full of praise without a single negative comment brought tears to my eyes.
This was the first time I thought I wanted to continue doing this in the future.

When talking one-on-one with someone, it is possible to avoid making them feel uncomfortable.
That might actually be the right direction.
But is it really possible to avoid making someone feel uncomfortable in a one-on-ten or one-on-100 situation? Can you truly deliver an important message without making someone feel uncomfortable?

Becoming irreplaceable in the creative world is actually simpler than you might think.
I know this may sound like a multi-level marketing scam, but from my experience, it really is.
It's just a process of facing myself, figuring out what I'm really bad at and what I'm really good at, and applying that to my content creation.
This is ultimately the process of creating something 'my own' that no one can imitate.
The good news is that this kind of endless self-reflection and inner exploration is very likely what you, the person reading this book, are best at.
Isn't that right? That's what I did.

As I said at the beginning, I got lucky.
It turned out too well for my ability.
So I feel I have a duty to share this interest and attention with others.
And if you give like this, it will definitely come back to you.
When I opened the pop-up, so many of my acquaintances came to visit, and when I sold goods, they continued to share without me asking.
At times like these, my humanity, which had been at rock bottom, is filled.
If you have the skills and need help, please contact me anytime.
I will help you.
