Thoughts?💭
As millennials, we’ve been called a soft generation. But the amount of massive change, technological leaps, recession and world events we’ve gone through has not only made us resilient to the times, but also exhausted.
We chat more about this in our latest episode. Link in bio!

Elsewhere, Still Ours @thestandardeastvillage May 10–14, 2026, 10AM - 5PM
We’re opening our next exhibition in New York.
This is a group exhibition, curated by John Kim & Sandy Park at The Standard, East Village featuring nine Korean and Korean diaspora artists and designers.
The show looks at how identity - specifically Koreanness - is lived, inherited, and remade across distance. The work spans ceramics, textile, stone, metal & resin. Traditional marterials like hanji, hemp, and silk sit alongside acrylic and aluminium - not as contrast, but as continuation. The participating artists come from different places and different moments in their relationship to Korea: some born there, some in diaspora, some recently arrived.
The practices here touch on queerness, migration, dual nationality, and the everyday negotiation of cultural memory. This isn’t a show about nostalgia or national identity in a fixed sense - it‘s about what happens to belonging when it travels.

Elsewhere, Still Ours 뉴욕 The Standard, East Village 2026년 5월 10일–14일
뉴욕에서 새로운 전시를 선보입니다.
Elsewhere, Still Ours는 한국 및 한국 디아스포라 작가와 디자이너 9인을 모아, 오늘날 ‘한국성’이 어떻게 각자의 위치에서 다르게 형성되는지를 보여줍니다.
이 전시는 고정된 정체성이 아니라, 이동과 경험 속에서 변화하는 정체성에 대한 이야기입니다. 한지, 삼베, 실크 같은 전통 소재는 아크릴, 알루미늄과 함께 놓이며 대비가 아닌 ‘연속성’으로 작동합니다.

NYCxDesign 기간 중 진행됩니다. 많은 관심 부탁드립니다.
A couple weeks ago in LA, I sat across from my cousin @riyaplam —mics on, no script, nothing off-limits.
We’d both chased the “dream job” only to realize it was someone else’s dream.
So we walked.
No backup plan. Just a gut pull toward something truer.
We dug into the messy middle—grief, reinvention, the thrill (and terror) of betting on yourself.
What we caught on tape was raw and real… and we’re sharing it in hopes it finds the people who need to hear it.
If you’ve ever stepped away from the safe path for something uncertain but more you—we’d love to hear your story too.

In the City of Dreams, I found myself walking slower,listening deeper—making room for rest, for pause. The quiet weight of becoming.
LA gave me space to grieve what didn’t grow, to speak into a mic about the things we were once too afraid to name, and to dream a little louder.
To chase something with no guarantee but your gut, and to say yes to the dream anyway.

NEW RULE: Don’t talk shit to yourself 🤍
Those moments when you lay in bed, unable to let your mind drift, and you find yourself deeply entangled in otherwise innocuous passing observations, subconscious existential intellectualisms and WHAT THE ACTUAL F*CK! epiphanies.
A pang of self-doubt, intense critique, a dash of dread, and sprinkles of self-pity.
But tonight, you check course, cause lately, you’ve been kinder, more generous to yourself. Practicing a new rule: don’t talk shit to yourself.
You’re still lying in bed, nothing else has changed except you haven’t beaten and betrayed yourself.
This practice is EVERYTHING. Proof that you actually like yourself.
When you stop the shit-talk, you stop making excuses out of fear; you stop hiding from your own shame; and you stop yourself from getting in the way of believing a better version of you exists, already here.
All I’m trying to say is that those sayings about you being your worst enemy; and not saying things to yourself you wouldn’t say to others, this isn’t some self-serving delusional affirmation, it’s practical advice towards acceptance and love, of self and others.
Practice this till it becomes the default.
No excuses.
아프다고 성격이 날카로워 질까봐, 남에게 피해를 줄까봐, 불쌍해 보이기 싫어서 강해 보이려고 애썼지만, 다 쓸때없는 짓이었다.
떠나는 사람이 있으면 새로 얻게되는 소중한 인연도 있는거고, 혼자 있는 시간을 즐길줄 아는 것도 배웠고 내 자신을 우선시 하는 연습도 많이했으니, 이게 전부 필요했던 교훈과 인생공부였고, 많은 걸 얻었으니, 괜찮아. 분명 일년 후에는 또 다를거야.

When you grow up knowing you don’t quite fit the palatable immigrant story; when you’re raised from, with and by religion; when you ought to be achieving at the prescribed level of excellence, no excuses. The silent shame of falling short, precariously seeking the glint of disappointment in those eyes. The insurmountable everything that you shoulder cause that is how it has always been.
When you look back and start the process of forgiveness, for always giving it your absolute fucking best and never giving yourself the true, honest reward of satisfaction.
What anyone else has to say, doesn’t count.
Your peace is the only thing that does.
