모든 전문파트는 종국에는 같은 이야기를 하는 것 같아요. 우리가 음악과 미술등 예술작품등을 통해 마음을 나누잖아요. 커피를 통해 마음을 나누고 소통을 하는 우리들. 커피를 하는 저 또한 한명의 예술가이지 않나 생각하게되요. 내가 선택한 커피를 나만의 방식으로 로스팅해서 세상에 선보이는 것이니까요. 일련의 이런 과정은 흡사 놀이와 같습니다. 어렸을 때 흙도 퍼 먹어보고, 장난감과 인형을 가지고 놀다가 망가뜨리고, 인형에서 또 배게에서 솜이 튀어나오기도 하고요. 하지만 그 시간들을 돌아보면 미소부터 지어집니다. 내가 하는 모든 행동을 다 받아주는 든든한 샌드박스 같지 않나요? 최근에 "어려운 일에 도전하고 또 묵묵히 해내는 모습에 같이 설레임을 느꼈다:" 라는 이야기를 들었습니다. 누군가를 응원하는 말 중에 "설레임을 느끼게 한다는 말은 최고의 응원이 아닐까요? 저는 우리의 커피가 누군가에게 이렇게 설레임을 느끼게 하는 커피이길 소망하고, 2026 년도 처음 열린 이 이벤트가 여러분들에게도 설레임의 순간이길 바래보며, 모조록 무조건 재미지게!! It feels like, in the end, all fields of expertise are telling the same story. Through music, art, and other creative works, we share our hearts with one another. And that makes me wonder—maybe I, too, am an artist in my own way through coffee. I choose a coffee, roast it in my own way, and then share it with the world. That process feels a lot like play. When we were kids, we played with dirt, put things in our mouths, broke our toys, pulled stuffing out of dolls. And when we look back on those moments now, we can’t help but smile. It’s like a big, safe sandbox—one that accepts everything we do, without judgment. Recently, someone said this to me: “Watching you take on difficult challenges and quietly see them through made my heart flutter.” Isn’t that one of the most beautiful forms of encouragement? To say that someone makes you feel excited, alive, full of anticipation. I hope our coffee can be that kind of coffee for someone— coffee that creates a sense of excitement and possibility. And I hope that today’s event becomes a moment of that same feeling for all of you. Above all, let’s enjoy it for what it is— no pressure, just fun.

Burano, Veneto, Italy IU shot her music video here — and the colors? Unreal. Everything looks freshly painted, soft, and bright after the restoration, right before the UNESCO listing. People from everywhere come just to match their outfits with these pastel walls. It kinda gives me 감천문화마을 vibes in Busan — colorful, laid-back, and perfect for a slow walk when time feels like it moves a little slower. #italy#burano#venezia#iu#trip

Championships 👍💕 Meeting the champions from all over the world — what an inspiring moment. 🌎 The more I judge, the more I feel the weight of responsibility. Behind every routine lies endless effort and dedication — more than words can tell. So much respect. 🙌

내가 국제 심사위원의 꿈을 키우게 된건 선희이사님을 멀리서 보고 나서이다. 우리나라에 국제심사위원이 있다니 대단하다.그렇게 시간이 지나고, 한국에 정말 실력있는 국제심사위원님들이 많아졌다. 이번에 만나뵌 분들 모두 내 동경의 대상. 그 막연했던 꿈을 가지고 있을때 ‘이게 되려나?’ 할때마다 선희이사님을 생각하며 다시 또 힘을 내었었다. 언젠가 나의 속도에 맞게 내가 준비가 되면 된다. 이러면서. 서두르다 공든탑 무너뜨리지 말고 차분히 대신 탄탄하게 쌓아가자 그런 마음으로 ! 시험 끝나고 바로 대회에 투입되면서 얼떨떨하고 ’이게 진찌 맞아? 나 드디어 꿈을 이룬거야?! ‘ 라며 밤새 한숨도 못자고 벅찬 마음에 어쩔줄 몰라했었다. 그렇게 채 충분히 즐기지 못했던, 드디어 꿈을 이루었구나 하는 마음을 꾹꾹 눌러 담아 두었었는데 선희 이사님 보자마자 뿌엥 ㅠ ㅠ 이보다 더 영광스럽고 감동스런 순간이 있을까? 되려 멋지게 성장해 줘서 고맙다고 하신는 이사님 ! 저 더 열심히 할께요 !! 랩이 되는 그날까지!! 한국 심사위원님들 다들 멋지십니다👍👍

2025 World Barista Championship in Milan Met so many inspiring judges — and I’m grateful for every connection. Feels like my name’s finally starting to be part of the story. 🌿

My Mento and Hero Trent, @simpler.coffee Through you, I’ve learned what it truly means to be supported — to have someone who believes in you endlessly. We haven’t known each other for very long, but since meeting you as the Head Judge of Canada, you’ve given me generous guidance and unwavering encouragement that helped me grow. Whenever I was nervous, you never dismissed it. Instead, you listened, helped me refocus, and offered thoughtful solutions. You always noticed even the smallest progress and celebrated it with trust and kind words. Your advice always came from such sincerity that it was impossible not to follow. You even created a training plan for me ahead of the World Championship (though I couldn’t make it happen because of my own mistake), and when I felt discouraged, you still told me I could do well. When I passed the exam, you were the first to celebrate — actually, you were the one who told me to check the results right away! :) Trent, without you, it would’ve taken me much longer to get here. Thank you for believing in me and always standing by me with your quiet strength and endless support. 💛

2025 World Barista Championship I had a dream of becoming an international judge long before I came to Canada. “Someday… maybe me too?” I used to wonder — but then I doubted myself. After moving to Canada in 2013, I never stopped working on myself. Quietly, steadily. There were tears and moments of deep discouragement, but I kept reminding myself — it’s okay to go at my own pace, as long as I keep going. This Milan Certification came with so many unexpected variables. I thought I would have plenty of time to prepare during the National competition, but I couldn’t practice at all. I blamed myself a lot. Between a major project and work, I barely had a moment to study or rehearse. Still, I decided to do what I could — just one step at a time. And then… I passed! Before I could even take in that joy, I found myself making my debut. My heart is full — truly, all I can feel is gratitude.
