If you grew up in India during the '90s or in decades preceding that time, there's a good chance you've come across a blue inland letter. It might be an almost forgotten form of communication now, but that humble one-sheet, foldable form flew across every part of the country, from the biggest cities to the smallest villages. This writer was in boarding school, high up in the Himalayas, aged 10, and would curl up every week to write home. That blue letter was always filled with the love and longing that came from a very young, wistful heart, sitting far away from family. Wonho was told this story, as we sat down across time zones on Zoom to discuss his latest EP, Blue Letter - a name that triggered these bittersweet memories. As he listened, intently, his expression was a mixture of sincerity, understanding and endearment. It's very clear that this is someone who really gets the poignancy of emotion. “Woah! Thank you so much for sharing that story." Wonho smiled. "It actually makes me really glad that I have this album coming out."
