#IdiomInsight
When someone is said to #FaceTheMusic face it means they need to confront or accept the unpleasant consequences of their actions. It involves the bravery or resignation necessary when dealing with repercussions or harsh realities.
I still think about this book, set in the glittery K-Pop, beauty & cosmetic surgery-obsessed world of South Korea where four young women have to face the consequences of their decisions & actions.
#IdiomInsight Day 28: The star-crossed lovers in this novel have no choice but to #FaceTheMusic as their forbidden love raises the ire of their Hindu and Muslim family members and community. Of course, an Indian novel needs to be paired with my fave Indian food: garlic cheese naan, tandoori chicken biryani for husband, and palak with buratta. Super delicious.
One theory is that #FaceTheMusic originated from theatre, where performers had to literally face the music (the orchestra positioned in front of the stage, in this case) and overcome stage fright.
