What is the "other" K-Generation?

Aside from what Noreena Hertz and oriental pop music fanatics would say, the K-Generation is conformed by a group of people who seduces and accepts love as it comes, a census created by Maja Milos, thanks to the making of her controversial film KLIP (2012), which influenced my debut novel Amnesty (Amnistía, 2018) and reminds us all of Aphrodite's nightmares. On this occasion, I want to share a very particular thought with you:

It was to be expected that the Goddess of Love would feel persecuted by her own ghost, the only one and perhaps the youngest that would represent her weaknesses in many ways; but if you think about the myth, we are devaluing the love of the goddess. I'm talking about her instincts, the same ones that provoke the audience of KLIP (and hopefully, the readers of Amnesty) and turn the K-Generation into something true and current that happens even through an old cell phone screen when expressing what Aphrodite suffered. Far from thinking about the oedipal complex, I go into Amnesty to briefly explain the brilliance of such a Greek catastrophe in our contemporary times. The power that Milos overflows in his "wet" scenes may be the only true reason why Eleonor, the character of desire in my novel, remains in my work as part of Aphrodite's nightmare, revealing a character that harasses Cupid's mother. Perhaps being driven crazy by Milos's K-Generation, Eleonor provokes the phobia of the protagonist in my novel, leading her to uncomfortable situations that profess love for interpersonal insecurity; a feeling that weakens Casandra. From this geometry of mental illusions and madness, I invite you to acquire this book, because we are all part of the K-Gen; we are all victimizers of Aphrodite for disturbing and disobeying her, for no one can escape the jealousy caused by the corporality of another.*
