They’re talented, good-looking and falling in love. Han Jae-Wook is the SBG member who most personifies duality. On stage, Wook is a powerful singer and sexy dancer, a handsome guy whose long legs and beautiful voice make fangirls swoon. But get him off stage and he’s the quietest, shyest member of one of South Korea’s biggest bands. And for months he’s had a secret crush on a barista who works in the coffee shop located in the same building as SBG’s dorm, but he’s barely been able to talk to her beyond placing his frequent tea orders. Ki Min-Ah has been a fan of Wook’s for the entirety of SBG’s history, but she doesn’t let even a hint of that slip when he comes into Tower Coffee and Bakery. So when he starts talking to her more, making overtures of friendship, she’s stunned. But she’s willing to bury the fangirl part of herself and be his friend because she gathers that it’s difficult for him and other idols to make real friends other than other entertainers. But she has to keep their budding friendship secret so she doesn’t endanger her job since there is a policy of no interaction with idols other than professionally. And she can’t afford to lose her job when she’s the sole support for her three younger siblings. But when it’s exposed they have been spending time together, they must weather fan suspicion that she’s just after his money and fame as they also realize they both want to be more than friends.

Recent years have seen a sea change in the way history is written and also in the way our conceptions of the past are being rewritten. In traditional historiography, women’s articulation is often marginalized and dominated by male voices. Through centuries of patriarchal control, women negotiated many layers and levels of existence working out different forms of resistance which have often gone unnoticed. Bhakti was one such medium. Religion provided the space in the medieval period and women saints embraced bhakti to define their own truths in voices that question society, family and relationships. For all these women bhaktas, the rejection of the male power that they were tied to in subordinate relationship became the terrain for struggle, self assertion and alternative seeking. Most of these women lived during the period from 12th to 17th Century. While the dominant mode of worship in bhakti was prostration to a deity like a feudal lord, the women bhaktas’ idea of God as a lover, a husband and a friend came as a breath of fresh air. The individual outpourings and the voices of these women, who had the courage to sing unfettered in their own voices, refused to melt in the din of the feudal scene which was largely patriarchal. This book will be useful to scholars interested in Feminist History, Comparative Religion and Asian Studies. The sensitive and rigorous research will be of great help to young scholars interested in embarking on a journey to discover religious history, especially with regards to women’s history in the South Asian context.
