A few hard things living in Korea💭

Some silly.
Some unexpected.
But also some that were surprisingly difficult to adjust to.

Adjusting to cultural differences is expected when moving to a country you didn’t grow up in.

But moving to Korea as a gyopo (Korean born overseas) has another layer of difficulty. There are some invisible blurred lines of expectations that others have of you and that you put on yourself being Korean.

Along with those difficulties are also discoveries of what it means to be Korean and creating deeper ties to the motherland.

Anyone else here relate?

Seoul, worth the rewind.

@ditaeyewear brought me back to Seoul to reunite and rekindle my visual affair with a city I haven’t seen in over four years.

I wanted to wander, get distracted, and let those distractions lead me through a journey of curiosity.

Much love to @drewkim__ @kccclarke @codyfuyu for letting me run wild.

And to @bigbusinessmonkey ✂️ @roikrico 🎵 @itsandysama 📹 for the support, as always.

<< ebb + flow >> examines the relationship between what endures and what remains in constant flux through contemporary art and collectible design. Works in ceramic, metal, textile and wood move across three floors, revealing traces of time and the hand, and sensations that shift with light, reflection and movement.

It’s actually incredible seeing K-culture be so loved today.

We can laugh at these questions now, but they also capture what it was like growing up South Korean in the West when so little was known about South Korea.

For many millennial gyopos, there’s something deeply healing about watching K-pop, K-dramas, K-food, K-beauty, K-fashion, language, and traditions be embraced around the world.

Back then, it was difficult to explain our culture or even our identity.

Within a few short decades, many of the things that once made us feel different are being celebrated globally.

It’s hard to describe how meaningful that shift feels.

This reel is a playful look back, but it’s also a celebration of how far we’ve come, and of a future our younger selves probably never imagined.

To everyone discovering Korean culture and showing it so much love today—thank you. 🤍
