Michelle Zauner’s Thank You for Your Suffering will be published by Knopf on April 27. The 224-page memoir covers a year Zauner spent in South Korea and presents her experience there as a personal journey.
The book describes Zauner’s efforts to learn her mother’s native language and connect with her family in Seoul. It also covers making Korean friends, exploring Seoul and performing songs in a new language.
Thank You for Your Suffering follows Zauner’s 2021 memoir Crying In H Mart. Zauner wrote a screenplay for a film adaptation of her first book, but the project was paused indefinitely last year.
Japanese Breakfast released its fourth and final studio album, For Melancholy Brunettes (& Sad Women), in March 2025. Zauner has also said that becoming a bigger artist has made it difficult to have as much time for personal connections, recalling when she sold her own merchandise, sent handwritten letters to fans and mailed cassette tapes.
During her performance at Governor’s Ball 2026, Michelle Zauner announced that she is pregnant.
