DID YOU EAT? (밥 먹었니?) is Zoë Kim’s autobiographical journey through love’s many forms—how it’s learned, given, and reflected inward. In a nimble and tender solo performance, Zoë shapeshifts into the souls of her family through a landscape of memories where tears and laughter collide. It’s not just a story, but a reckoning—weaving through the textured threads of Korean/American identity, belonging, and healing. DID YOU EAT? (밥 먹었니?) is a poetic love letter to the inner child, and hopefully yours too.

Did You Eat?: Meet Zoë Kim, Storyteller Extraordinaire
8 / 10
The fact that Kim tells the story of her upbringing not with rancor and resentment, but rather with acceptance and understanding, seems almost unfathomable. But she does, and she tells it with her whole body, moving nearly the entire time. (The intricate, sometimes balletic, sometimes aerobic, choreography is by Iris McCloughan.) It’s as if she’s processing her emotions through with each carefully controlled step, turn, twist, and sweep.
DramaOff Broadway Did You Eat? (밥 먹었니?) ★★★★★
9 / 10
Kim ends Did You Eat? (밥 먹었니?) with the reminder that bad cycles and painful legacies can be thwarted and replaced with new, better ones. And though it’s easy to be cynical about such decrees, by allowing the world to hear the darkest parts of her life – and showing how she’s emerged on the other side triumphant – Kim gives the audience genuine reason to believe that change, and love, remain possible.
