The 29 Year Old HS Senior
Episode description
In early 2023 in New Brunswick, New Jersey, a peculiar tale unfolded. It was a story on its face of outright, strange deception. But underneath, maybe a sadder tale of longing and nostalgia, where the lines between reality and fiction blurred, leaving many perplexed and intrigued. At the center of it all was Hyejeong (Heh-jong) Shin, a 29-year-old woman who made a choice I really cannot relate to, and made some extreme moves to rewrite her life story, living the real life story of Never Been Kissed, at least for a few days.
