My phone buzzed at 3 AM – it was Lisa, my college roommate who moved to Toronto five years ago. The message was just ten crying emojis followed by: ‘LE SSERAFIM’s new album is out and I can’t listen to it here. This feels like being left out of the biggest party of the year.’
I immediately opened QQ Music and there it was – LE SSERAFIM’s first single album 《SPAGHETTI》 glowing on my screen. The collaboration with BTS’s j-hope on the title track promised exactly what Lisa was missing: those fiery beats that make you want to dance in your kitchen at midnight.
Remember when we used to share earphones during lunch breaks, Lisa? That time we discovered LE SSERAFIM’s ‘FEARLESS’ and played it on repeat until our phone batteries died? Now you’re 12,000 kilometers away, and something as simple as streaming a new song becomes a technological nightmare.
Lisa’s voice message came through crackly: ‘I clicked the link, saw the album cover with that gorgeous red-and-black aesthetic, pressed play and… nothing. Just that spinning loading icon that mocks you. Then the dreaded ‘This content is not available in your region’ message.’
She’s not alone – according to a 2024 survey by Overseas Chinese Association, 68% of Chinese living abroad report facing geo-blocking when trying to access entertainment content from home. That’s millions of people missing out on cultural moments that feel like pieces of home.
What hit me hardest was when Lisa said: ‘It’s not just about the music. It’s about waking up and reading the same Weibo posts as friends back home, joining the same hashtag discussions, feeling that connection. When LE SSERAFIM drops a new album, it’s like everyone’s attending the same concert except me.’
The irony? LE SSERAFIM’s whole concept is about being fearless and breaking boundaries, yet geographical restrictions create these invisible walls between fans. That collaborative energy with j-hope – meant to unite listeners worldwide – gets trapped behind digital borders.
So I did what any good friend would do – I screen-recorded the entire album and sent it to her via WeChat. The file was huge, the quality wasn’t perfect, but her response made it worth it: ‘Hearing this feels like you just handed me a piece of home through the internet.’
How many of you overseas are dealing with this same frustration? That moment when you see everyone buzzing about a new drama episode, a viral variety show clip, or an album drop like LE SSERAFIM’s, only to hit that geographical wall? Share your stories below – let’s build a community that understands this unique digital homesickness.
