"Yes, and to the sunbae soldiers who came before us and the soldiers who remain and our peers who left just a little before us and also to the directors who worried- I mean, worked harder than anyone, who went through as we lived and worked together. I wanted to say thank you for taking good care of us."

Talking about further updates, the singer added:

"A lot of things happened, but we will organize our thoughts, and we will share them with you."

Kirti likes to pen down insightful features based on Korean dramas, especially the 'Ending Explained' categories. It gives her the satisfaction of creating the most authentic content rather than simply replicating what media outlets generally do.

Her process of creating content is time-consuming, yet methodical; she prefers to use original sources of information, which in her case are Korean outlets. She watches entire episodes, writes them down, cross-checks/fact-checks the details/event timelines off the web and eventually creates her copy.

Kirti likes Lee Je-hoon, IU, and Kim Seon-ho since she feels that their dramas are inspiring and have good plotlines. When she is not writing about K-dramas, she can be found watching them.
