As my travel schedules become longer, I increasingly realize the importance of choosing the right travel suitcase.

For short trips, a 20-inch or 24-inch suitcase is usually sufficient. However, when traveling in Europe or other overseas destinations for more than a week, a 28-inch suitcase is definitely necessary.

As the amount of luggage increases, the differences in weight, baggage handling, and convenience of moving through the airport become more noticeable. Therefore, selecting the right size is truly important.

Looking at the current suitcase market, the specifications for suitcases priced around 500,000 won are almost predetermined. These include 100% polycarbonate material, a sturdy body structure, aluminum handles, 360-degree rotating urethane wheels, and TSA locks.

If a suitcase with such specifications can be purchased for around 200,000 won while maintaining the same quality, there’s no reason not to recommend it.

As I prepared for my overseas trip, I considered internal storage structure, smoothly rolling wheels, and ease of transport through the airport. The brand I chose was the Cordix Trev 28-inch suitcase.

The key to a sturdy suitcase is indeed the body material. The Cordix Trev is made from durable polycarbonate, making it resistant to impacts while remaining surprisingly lightweight.

During my travels, including airport transfers, checked baggage, and moving to accommodations, the suitcase maintained its condition without any dents or warping, which was quite satisfying.

The corner finishes are also robust, reducing anxiety when checking it in as luggage.

The wheels are made of urethane, providing a comfortable rolling experience even when the suitcase is full. The performance of the wheels is crucial since the weight of a fully packed 28-inch suitcase is quite noticeable.

Thanks to its urethane wheels, the Trev suitcase rolls smoothly without being affected much by the surface conditions, whether on airport floors, sidewalks, or hotel corridors. There was minimal noise, and it followed along naturally, making long-distance movement significantly less tiring.

The TSA lock is also a standard feature. When traveling on routes to the Americas or to countries with strict security checks, a TSA lock is now a necessity.

With its recessed structure, the lock is less likely to be damaged by external impacts, and setting the password or using it is straightforward, making it user-friendly.

As expected from a 28-inch travel suitcase, the storage capacity is impressive. As travel schedules lengthen, the amount of clothing, shoes, pouches, and toiletries naturally increases, yet I never felt a lack of space.

Especially for long trips or when considering shopping during your return, this size offers peace of mind.

Due to these fundamentals, the Cordix Trev suitcase has quickly gained popularity, with reports of significant sales in offline stores. It has also sold out quickly during broadcasts.

With travel YouTubers and creators who focus on practical reviews recommending this suitcase, its recognition has naturally increased.

When considering a durable 28-inch suitcase for long trips or overseas travel, the Cordix Trev is certainly worth considering.

Gunyi Farm's high-sugar Jeju tangerines, 5kg, are perfect for kids' snacks.

Why did we need these tangerines?

These days, parents often struggle with snack choices for their kids. While snacks like chips and bread are tempting, we want to provide healthier options like fruit. However, it's not easy to find delicious tangerines at the store.

Sometimes the tangerines look beautiful but taste sour or bland, leaving kids uninterested after just one or two.

This time, I decided to order directly from a farm in Jeju, and I found Gunyi Farm. They specialize in high-sugar early-season tangerines, and I was excited to try them.

First Impression of Gunyi Farm's Jeju Tangerines (Delivery & Condition)

Upon receiving the delivery, my first thought was, "Wow, these tangerines are well taken care of." They arrived in good condition, with clean peels and no signs of damage.

The 5kg box was filled to the brim, and knowing they were grown directly in Jeju made me feel good about giving them to my child.

Reasons Why Early-Season Tangerines Are Better

The early-season tangerines have thinner skins and are juicier than regular tangerines. They are sweet with minimal sourness, and the sweetness hits you immediately with almost no aftertaste.

They were delicious upon arrival, but after letting them ripen for 2-3 days, the sweetness intensified.

Kid's Reaction is the Most Important

For us, the success of a snack is determined by whether the child asks for more. Gunyi Farm's high-sugar tangerines received a fantastic response from my child.

They are not sour, so my child enjoys them without grimacing. Once peeled, they can easily eat two or three in a row. They are not sticky, making it easy for me to let my child eat them independently.

Now, when snack time comes, we reach for Jeju tangerines instead of chips.

Delicious for the Whole Family

These tangerines appeal to both kids and adults. Unlike overly sweet tangerines that can become sickening, these have a clean sweetness that keeps you reaching for more.

They make a great dessert after breakfast, a simple snack in the afternoon, or a refreshing end to dinner.

They would also make an excellent gift or fruit set.

Summary of Quality Advantages

From my experience, Gunyi Farm's early-season tangerines are safe as they are grown directly in Jeju. They have stable sweetness with little acidity, making them suitable for all ages. The flavor improves after ripening.

The skins are thin and easy to peel, making them perfect for kids to eat on their own. I felt I could finish an entire box!

What I personally loved most was that my child enjoys them immensely, the flavor changes after ripening are noticeable, and the quality was consistent throughout.

After a few days of having Gunyi Farm's high-sugar Jeju early-season tangerines, I found myself reaching for them often.

After meals, my child would ask for tangerines, which is a pleasant change from the usual fruit boredom.

These tangerines are easy to peel, juicy, and not sticky, making them perfect for kids. The joy of having delicious tangerines at home brightens my day every time I open the fridge.

These tangerines are highly recommended for anyone looking for sweet, non-sour options, especially for kids. Gunyi Farm's high-sugar early-season tangerines have truly satisfied me this season.

Design and visual impression

The earrings feature a large butterfly disc form with a clean yet powerful presence. The voluminous shape and thick profile give them a sculptural quality that feels both traditional and modern.

Precise and vivid carvings bring depth to the butterfly motif, while the contrast between gold and subtle black tones enhances the overall sense of richness.

Size and structure details

Each earring has an individual front diameter of approximately 30mm, offering a bold visual impact without overwhelming the ear.

The side thickness measures approximately 7mm. The space between the plates is hollow, allowing for volume without excessive weight, which improves comfort during wear.

Material and craftsmanship

The earrings are crafted with approximately 99 percent 24K gold, delivering a deep, warm luster that immediately communicates quality.

The thickness and solid feel reflect skilled workmanship, resulting in a piece that feels substantial and enduring rather than decorative alone.

Limited edition value and purchase benefits

This butterfly disc earring design is a limited-edition work and is unlikely to be reproduced, making it especially appealing for collectors and those seeking exclusivity.

You can purchase easily through the smart store. By signing up for notifications, you receive a 3 percent discount, along with additional benefits through Naver Pay rewards.

Although it's been a while since I got these, I hadn't planned on posting a review until I stumbled upon some photos while preparing a living room decor post yesterday. So here I am sharing them!

These are the Balenciaga x Crocs Rubber Boots in black (model number: 677388W1S8E1000). I was once really into Balenciaga and when I was out shopping, the seller contacted me saying they had a pair that would suit my style. I went to try them on and ended up buying them.

I purchased them at the Daejeon Shinsegae & Art Science store, and they are currently being sold at a price above retail on other platforms.

As for me, I have a slight difference in the thickness of my calves due to back issues. It's not a significant difference, but it’s a complex I’m aware of. Anyway, because of that, I tend to prefer long boots.

For this outfit, I'm wearing a Balenciaga jacket and dress along with the Balenciaga x Crocs Rubber Boots.

After digging through my photo gallery, I found some pictures from that day.

I also filmed an unboxing video when I got home. Since they have a platform design, they do have some weight to them. However, I find that they are comfortable to wear, similar to Hunter boots.

I bought my true size, but going half a size up or a full size up wouldn't make them too big. Given that they are made of rubber, there's a chance of your feet rubbing against them, so going up a size for comfort might be a good idea.

Here are some outfits I've styled with them. I haven’t taken many recent photos, but I’m sharing some from the rainy and cold days of last summer, fall, and winter.

The logo is clean, and they can be styled as rain or winter boots, making them a versatile addition to your wardrobe. I highly recommend them!

This concludes my personal review of my purchase.

[Images Below]

I discovered it while receiving a gift.

It's a Japanese cosmetic brand that has recently gained immense popularity in Japan.

Especially known for its commitment to natural ingredients,

the brand creates products using raw materials sourced from nature without chemical additives.

This makes it a trustworthy beauty brand.

In South Korea,

the store hours are

11:00 AM - 9:00 PM

I found out that there is a store in Korea.

The first store opened in Seongsu-dong in April this year,

and recently in December, a new location opened in Lotte World Mall.

From December 11th to 17th,

there will be a Shiro pop-up store at the Hyundai Seoul.

Unboxing (1)

Inside the stylish Shiro shopping bag,

there is a shimmering silver dust bag.

I received a gift along with my partner,

and inside my shopping bag were

the White Hand Serum and the White Rich Hair Milk.

These products are beautifully packaged.

Since they were purchased in Japan,

the back labels are written in Japanese.

The clean design makes them perfect for gifting.

I loved receiving them!

White Hand Serum

This hand serum offers a delightful fragrance,

similar to the White Rich Hair Milk.

Its watery texture provides abundant moisture,

keeping my hands hydrated throughout the day.

It absorbs quickly without any greasiness,

making it suitable for dry skin anywhere.

White Rich Hair Milk

I often need a hair product to maintain shine

for my fine, frizzy hair, especially in dry weather.

The White Rich Hair Milk has a wonderful scent,

a floral fragrance that is not overpowering.

It can be used on both wet and dry hair,

making it versatile for everyone.

Unboxing (2)

In the other shopping bag my partner received,

there was the Freesia Mist Hand Serum and

the Sabon Hair Mist.

Both packages were beautifully designed.

Freesia Mist Hand Serum

This product features a different design,

with a unisex appeal that is suitable for everyone.

The scent is a subtle freesia fragrance,

lasting for quite a while.

It feels more hydrating than regular creams,

keeping my hands soft for a long time.

Sabon Hair Mist

The person who gifted it mentioned that Sabon is very popular in Japan.

It smells great and leaves my hair feeling soft.

It's said to be good for damaged hair,

which makes me want to try it!

Overall Impression

Shiro perfumes and eau de parfums seem to be popular,

but I particularly liked the Shiro hand cream.

Both products I received contain shea butter,

making them soft, fast-absorbing, and easy to apply.

Their luxurious scent makes them great for gifts,

as well as for personal use.

Don't you sometimes want to add a unique twist to your home cooking?

I recently tried the Shin Tumba All-Purpose Sauce, and wow… it truly lives up to its name!

It captures the distinct spicy yet creamy flavor of Shin Ramyun Tumba perfectly, instantly enhancing any dish with just a touch of the sauce. Plus, the added shiitake mushrooms and beef create a rich umami flavor.

I also noticed a subtle nutty flavor, likely from the coconut oil and almonds.

The best thing about this sauce is its incredible versatility.

It's not just limited to pasta.

It pairs well with Korean dishes like tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) and fried rice.

Apparently, it can even be used as a dipping sauce for meat and vegetables.

Thinking about it, this Tumba All-Purpose Sauce would be incredibly useful when camping or traveling.

It's great for use both indoors and outdoors.

This sauce is a collaboration with <K-Pop Demon Hunters>,

so the packaging features my child's favorite character, which is fun to see.

My child loved it instantly and kept asking who each character was, but I only know Baby?.

With its collectible value, I think it would be very popular among younger people.

My brother and his wife were coming over for dinner unexpectedly.

We were planning on having samgyeopsal (grilled pork belly), but we wouldn’t have enough for everyone.

So, I decided to use some ramen noodles, cheese, and the Tumba All-Purpose Sauce to make a ramen noodle pasta.

I chopped up some bacon that I had in the fridge.

And sautéed some onions.

I made a simple pasta-like dish using ramen noodles,

and it was a huge success!

The noodles were perfectly chewy and absorbed the sauce beautifully, creating a fusion dish that tasted like Italian.

The creamy texture of cream pasta combined with the spicy Shin Ramyun flavor,

and even my family members, who love pasta, devoured their bowls.

We prepared a really filling meal.

I could finish serving my guests in a flash!!

And it's also delicious in tteokbokki!

I love tteokbokki and make it often, so I decided to add a little of this sauce this time.

I kept the basic gochujang (red pepper paste) and sugar seasonings as they were and added the Shin Tumba sauce…

wow, the taste is completely different!

The spicy and creamy flavor is so addictive that I kept eating one rice cake after another and even drinking the sauce.

I like to add cheese to my tteokbokki, but it was so creamy already that it didn't even need it!!!

I'm planning to buy a few to take to my church for snacks next time.

I will prepare a large batch of tteokbokki and the taste will be mysterious......

But the children ate well, except for my child!!!

Next time, I'll definitely bring this Tumba All-Purpose Sauce!!!!

The biggest advantage I felt was!

You can cook a variety of dishes with just one sauce.

It goes well with Korean food like tteokbokki and fried rice.

It is perfect for Western food such as pasta and risotto.

It can also be used as a dipping sauce for meat and vegetables!

The best thing is that the taste changes when you add this Tumba All-Purpose Sauce to your original cooking!!!

✔️ Enhanced rich flavor with a secret aromatic oil made in-house

✔️ Selected by the Michelin Guide in 2017

✔️ Jjamppong sauce made with a special recipe

As a parent, cooking a proper meal feels impossible. But settling for just anything? Definitely not!

These days, meal kits are amazing. You'll see what I mean if you read this post to the end ❤️ Today, I'm introducing a meal kit released by Daegabang, a restaurant selected by the Michelin Guide in 2017. Stock your freezer, and every meal will feel like you're at a Chinese restaurant! >ω<

Even on hot days, there's no need to worry about food delivery. It arrived safely with ice packs in an icebox. As I mentioned, Daegabang is a popular Chinese restaurant that has appeared on various food shows, including the Michelin Guide, Wednesday Food Talk, Master of Living, MangoPlate, and Blue Ribbon Survey.

Packaged in single servings, it's easy to take out and eat one at a time. No thawing is required, so you can have a seafood jjamppong ready in just 6 minutes! Experience the true taste of jjamppong at home, created by 'Daegangri,' a Chinese food master with 55 years of experience.・ε・

The cooking method is simple, and because it includes vegetables and seafood, you don't need to prepare anything else! It would be great to take camping too.

Ingredients: Dried Chili / Jjamppong Sauce / Chili Powder / Aromatic Oil / Jjamppong Noodles / Vegetables & Seafood

The reason you can't see the vegetables and seafood above is that they're under the noodles! Simply add the noodles to the jjamppong soup, and you're done! You can experience the same spicy and refreshing taste as you would at the restaurant.

Starting with lightly frying dried chili peppers to make chili oil is exceptional. This meal kit was created so that many people could boast about the taste of Daegabang Seafood Jjamppong. I love places that are this confident!

I added some zucchini and onion that I had at home. The seafood includes three types: white-leg shrimp / squid / top shell meat!

The vegetables include onion and cabbage. Even if you don't add more like I did, there's a good amount of vegetables, which makes it great to chew and the soup is refreshing. Add the aromatic oil at the end and mix!

Can you believe the quality of this jjamppong at home,,,,???? Good food can only be made with fresh ingredients >ω< Daegabang meal kits are made with only carefully selected fresh seafood and vegetables.

It really looks like something you'd eat at a restaurant. I love that it has plenty of seafood. Even novice cooks like me can enjoy delicious seafood jjamppong by simply following the cooking instructions.

The chewy noodles are so delicious. Adding Daegabang's special aromatic oil gives it a deeper flavor. First of all, the soup is spicy and refreshing. It's so flavorful that I keep scooping up the soup. The noodles are very chewy, and I like that it has plenty of seafood and vegetables. You can put it in the freezer and cook it right away without thawing, so it's perfect for busy parents, those who live alone, or busy workers like me. The true taste of seafood jjamppong at home! I recommend the Daegabang Seafood Jjamppong Meal Kit!

They say supplements aren't easy to digest, so I always gift them health tonics that are said to be good for their health.

This holiday, I prepared Won-Gol Bo-Aek from Hwasun Herb Village.

It contains safflower seeds, *Achyranthes japonica*, and deer antler, which are known to be good for bone health.

Just by looking at the ingredients, it feels very beneficial and professional!

Hwasun Herb Village is known as a healthy village and has been famous in Hwasun, Jeollanam-do for over 20 years.

They offer a variety of products that are good for the body, such as shiitake mushroom extract, peppermint extract, and kudzu ginger extract.

Using the principle of traditional herbal medicine pots, it minimizes the loss of raw materials by inducing the diffusion of medicinal ingredients inside the pot.

It doesn't use any artificial additives, so people of all ages can consume it with confidence!

Won-Gol Bo-Aek from Hwasun Herb Village is a natural food that captures the vitality of nature :)

This health tonic is made with main ingredients that are good for bone health, such as deer antler, *Achyranthes japonica* root, safflower seeds, mugwort, and malt.

I recommend it as a gift for growing children, teenagers, people in their 30s and 40s, and elderly parents!

It comes in a large box divided into two smaller boxes, each containing 30 pouches, for a total of 60 pouches!

Won-Gol Bo-Aek is extracted using a 72-hour circulation method to minimize nutrient destruction from heat and help beneficial ingredients be absorbed into our bodies.

It is hygienically packaged in individual pouches.

Dosage: Drink one pouch 2-3 times a day.

When using the microwave, do not heat the pouch directly. Transfer to a microwave-safe container before heating!

Since it does not contain any preservatives, store it in a cool place away from direct sunlight (refrigerate).

The expiration date is printed on the top of the pouch, and it was not too short; it was ample.

Shake well before drinking, as sediment may occur.

Deer antler contains a large amount of calcium and can help with bone health.

*Achyranthes japonica* root is also called 'Woosul' because the shape of the root resembles a cow's knee and it strengthens muscles and bones.

Since my parents are getting older, I need to pay more attention to their bone and joint health.

It has a light flavor that is easy to drink without being too bitter or causing a feeling of repulsion.

It is a health tonic made by carefully selecting good ingredients that can help with bone health, so I recommend it to my parents, husband, and children!

Drink 2-3 pouches a day, regardless of before or after meals.

If it's difficult to drink several times a day, it's good to take at least one pouch every day consistently!!!

Consider preparing it as a gift for your parents or as a thank-you gift for the upcoming holiday.

Flour!!!!!! Especially Jajangmyeon! Ramen! Tteokbokki!!

As the Switch-On Diet gets longer, there are times when I crave something delicious.

So, I ordered Vivid Kitchen's Low-Carb Jajang Ramen sauce.

I bought it for ₩3,580 during a sale on Kurly.

This low-calorie sauce is only 90 calories per 100g.

And with only 3g of sugar, it's pretty amazing!

The carbohydrate content is 23g per 100g, but since I'll only be using around 50g of sauce per serving, I think it's a small amount.

Now, let's make some proper diet-friendly Jajangmyeon!

Diet Jajangmyeon Ingredients (2 servings):

Tofu Noodles (adjust amount per serving)

50g Vivid Kitchen Diet Jajang Sauce

2 tablespoons Allulose

1 tablespoon Oyster Sauce

1 tablespoon Crushed Red Pepper

Cabbage (as much as you like)

1 Potato

1 Onion

100g Pork Shoulder

Olive Oil

I thinly sliced tofu skin that I bought from Coupang and made tofu noodles.

I had them stored in the freezer.

The noodles quickly thaw when you soak them in water.

I microwaved them for about 1 minute.

Thaw 100g of pork shoulder.

To remove any potential fishy smell, season it with mirin and pepper.

Cut the cabbage however you like, but I like it finely chopped so I can eat it with a spoon.

I cut it into about the size of my fingertip.

Then, I soaked it in vinegar water.

Cut the potato and onion into the same size.

Heat oil in a pan and first add the pork to stir-fry.

Once the pork is cooked, add all the prepared vegetables.

Even without adding anything yet, the color of the meat is changing as it cooks.

Now, add the long-awaited low-carb Jajang sauce.

Woww, the color is getting pretty close to Jajang!

I like it spicy, so I added a little crushed red pepper.

Add two tablespoons of allulose instead of sugar.

Add about 1-2 tablespoons of oyster sauce.

And stir-fry it all together! It's done when the potatoes are cooked.

Put the microwaved tofu noodles in a bowl.

Pour the Jajang sauce on top.

Finished~~!!

I also prepared diced cucumbers to increase my vegetable intake.

It's so delicious when you mix it together...

If you want a more "sinful" taste, you can add a little MSG, sugar, and oil.

And usually, you would add starch for the consistency, but I skipped it since it's a diet meal.

I had a hearty and delicious meal~~!

I've even gone to teach people in person, and...

...given text-based lessons to friends overseas!

This recipe is so satisfying, and it works just as well with bok choy or young summer radish.

The elders love it too!

They keep asking me to teach them, but honestly, it's so simple...

The only addition to my previous cabbage water kimchi recipe is dried seafood + kelp broth.

First, for pickling the bok choy, please refer to the explanation below~~!

Bok Choy Pickling (for 2 bunches):

Boil water, then add coarse salt until it tastes quite salty.

(Approximately 150~170g of salt per 1L of water)

Trim the bok choy slightly at the root to remove any impurities, and wash thoroughly under running water. Be gentle!

Cut in half or use whole, depending on the size.

✔️Pickling

In a large bowl or container, place the bok choy with the leaves facing up and the thickest part tilted downwards. Pour the boiling salt water evenly over them, tilting the leaves so they don't pickle as much.

Place a heavy plate or lid on top to submerge the bottom part of the bok choy in the salt water.

✔️Time

Pickle for about 1~2 hours, until the stems are slightly soft and the leaves are bendable. Then, pickling is complete.

✔️Rinsing

Rinse the pickled bok choy 2~3 times in cold water to remove the salt, and drain in a strainer.

Don't squeeze too hard! The bok choy will become mushy instead of crunchy.

I recently won first place in the Hurom Best Friend Chemist mission!

The mission was to share my own juice recipe, and I shared my experiences and stories about the juices I actually make and drink.

A high-quality fruit gift set arrived as a prize!

For those who are curious about what Best Friend Chemist is, I'll explain it now.

The apples and pears were so big, even the mangoes were large.

I went to the market and saw apples like that costing over 10,000 won each!

How did I end up continuously receiving 'bribes' from Hurom?

I don't even remember what month it was.

I bought the Hurom 410 and loved it so much that I posted a 'my own money, my own purchase' review on my blog.

That post was reposted on the official Hurom blog, and I was selected as the third Best Friend Chemist.

They even sent me these surprise gifts...

During my childcare leave, in the quiet life, I received so much joy and energy.

It felt like I was being recognized, praised, and even gifted! At work, even if I work hard, they always say no...

These were huge gifts in my monotonous daily life.

There was no end to it!

I received so much and kept quiet... I really should be scolded.

Since the Hurom machine came to my house,

My life has become more diligent, and I wake up earlier!

Perhaps because I've gotten busier... That's my excuse.

They even gifted me a juice kit package, as if that wasn't enough!

An apron, a glass cup, and even recipe illustration postcards!

This is how I suddenly became Hurom's Best Friend Chemist.

Every time I complete a mission, my points accumulate.

Once I reach the maximum accumulated points, I'm promoted to the Master Club.

My heart is already in the Master Club, haha.

These are the benefits of being promoted to the Masters Club.

It's such a great deal... I want to work hard. Even if you're not an influencer like me,

Hurom doesn't hold back on praise if you write sincere reviews.

So, I just wrote honestly for this mission too, and they gave me first place...

I always use Hurom machines, but I'm just using them for my own satisfaction.

It's actually quite a hassle to promote and write genuine reviews.

I'm just happily, healthily, and conveniently using it myself,

But I have a voluntary mission to share my experiences with people!

No one is forcing me to do it, haha.

The high-quality fruit gift set I received for winning the last mission!!

The apples and pears were so big that I felt it was a waste to just eat them, so I decided to use them in water kimchi!

The water kimchi is crunchy, refreshing, and sweet and sour.

It's so delicious that it's a rice thief! My child said,

"There's no kimchi in the world as delicious as this!"

I hope you try it and succeed.

Making Dried Seafood Broth

Put kelp the size of A4 paper and dried seafood - squid? or dried pollock heads.

Simmer well.

Boil until 3 liters of water is reduced to 3/4.

No need to cool it, just boil it while pickling the cabbage and then turn off the heat.

Extracting Fruit and Vegetable Juice with Hurom

1/2 apple

1/2 pear

1kg radish

2 onions

2 red bell peppers

About 20 cloves of garlic

1 bowl of cooked rice

Prepare!

Extract the above ingredients with the Hurom.

Be sure to store the radish, bell pepper, onion, and garlic pulp separately.

We will mix it into the broth later.

Instead of bell pepper,

You can substitute with 5 red chili peppers.

Instead of Flour Paste, Use 1 Bowl of Rice!

You can grind the garlic or extract it directly with the Hurom.

Add kelp broth or juice extracted with the juicer to one bowl of rice.

Blend well.

Mix all the liquids together.

Add 1 tablespoon of salt

Add 2 tablespoons of plum extract

Add 2 tablespoons of fish sauce and mix.

Ferment Overnight! That's it!

Add sliced onions and radish.

Add two bunches of pickled bok choy and mix.

Leave it in a warm place for a day.

The next day, put it in the refrigerator and let it mature at a low temperature.

There's no way to fail!!

If you do it once and then do it again, you'll completely conquer water kimchi!!

Fighting!

If you have any questions, please leave a comment.

I'll answer them to the best of my ability~~!

I'm excited to share my review of the Hetbahn collaboration with the incredibly popular Professor Jung Hee-won, known for her slow-aging approach! ✨

I purchased this after watching Chae-yeon's YouTube video, and I'm here to give you my honest review of Hetbahn's Jung Hee-won Faro Rice!

It's also known as Faro Whole Grain Rice!

"Faro-ma!!" The association game for Faro rice is so funny ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

What is Faro...?

I became curious about Faro Whole Grain Rice.

Faro is an Italian whole grain that's rich in protein and fiber.

In addition to faro, it contains a variety of grains such as brown rice, glutinous brown rice, black rice, and oats.

Per serving:

290 calories

63g carbohydrates

12.2g fiber

8g protein

Professor Jung Hee-won, who made the slow-aging diet a trend!

The recipe is based on Professor Jung Hee-won's recipe.

After watching an interview with Hetbahn's marketer and Professor Jung Hee-won on Phollein,

I really felt that she is genuine when it comes to a healthy diet and promoting physical and mental well-being for modern people.

As a food marketer,

I often have to look up food-related articles and materials,

so my inner intimacy with Professor Jung Hee-won is rising..ㅋㅋ

Riceplan seems to be a new line of grain rice that Hetbahn is pushing.

8g protein

12.2g high fiber

I was impressed with the table on the packaging that shows the ratio of mixed grains at a glance!

Faro Whole Grain Rice should be stored at room temperature.

Refrigeration or freezing is not necessary.

The cooking method is 2 minutes in the microwave!

It's so easy.

Instant rice is easy to store,

so I always keep some at home.

Especially since it's hard to eat mixed grain rice regularly,

I'm just grateful that Hetbahn has so many types of mixed grain rice.

A geriatrician's health plan

I recently read Professor Jung Hee-won's interview in Long Black.

Thinking about it, I think I naturally came across interview articles as the slow-aging keyword became popular.

I'm curious about her book ㅎㅎ

Hetbahn Faro Whole Grain Rice has a unique container.

The circle is smaller than the regular Hetbahn container,

and the bottom is deeper,

so it felt like a rice bowl.

The microwave cooking method is also well explained.

2 minutes for 1

3 minutes 30 seconds for 2

After microwaving

I was surprised to see so many grains when I opened it!

Even when I scoop it up with a spoon,

it's full of grains!

To be honest, I was worried that the taste would be a little disappointing just by looking at the visuals,

but the texture is soft,

and it tastes sweet when you chew it thoroughly.

To be honest, isn't this just delicious mixed grain rice...!

That's what I thought????

Even children who don't like mixed grain rice

I thought they would eat it deliciously ㅋㅋ

I ate it with Solme's delicious mackerel kimchi stew ㅋㅋ Hehe

Healthy and delicious!

No matter how healthy it is, it's important that it tastes good if you want to eat it regularly ㅋㅋ

You can take care of your health at a more reasonable price????

These days, there are many pre-packaged meals you can easily boil at home. But if you want a truly satisfying meal, nothing beats Budae-jjigae (Korean Army Stew).

Today, I'm introducing Il-Dang-Baek Budae-jjigae, a well-known takeout restaurant in Hayang, Gyeongsan.

Located in the heart of Hayang, it's easily accessible, and they even give you an extra serving for takeout orders, making it an incredible value for money. No wonder people call it a takeout gem in Hayang!

???? Location & Visit Information

• Address: 25 Hayang-ro, Hayang-eup, Gyeongsan-si, Gyeongbuk

• Business Hours: Mon-Sat 11:00 ~ 21:00 (Break Time 15:00 ~ 17:00)

• Closed: Every Sunday

⚠️ Quick TIP!

You can briefly park in front of the store, but you might get a ticket if you park for more than 10 minutes. I recommend parking in a nearby public parking lot or quickly picking up your order.

This is a small but important tip, so be sure to keep it in mind!

???? Menu

Il-Dang-Baek Budae-jjigae has a simple menu, so you don't have to spend ages deciding.

• Il-Dang-Baek Budae-jjigae (₩10,000)

• Beef Brisket Budae-jjigae (₩13,000)

• Ham Bomb Budae-jjigae (₩13,000)

There are only 3 options, so it's easy to choose! Whether you want lots of meat or lots of ham, just pick your favorite!

You won't regret choosing any of them, so I highly recommend them all.

???? Takeout Review

This time, I ordered takeout. The container was packed with ham, sausage, tofu, mushrooms, beans, kimchi, green onions, and garlic. It looked so generous just by looking at it!

Thanks to the tips the owner gave me on how to cook it deliciously, I was able to enjoy it at home:

1. Add only half of the broth at first and bring to a boil.

2. Add ramen noodles when it starts to boil.

3. Add the remaining broth and boil for a bit longer.

Following this method made the broth much richer and brought out the flavor even more!

???? Perfect with Soju!

The rich broth and savory flavor of the ham and sausage in Budae-jjigae are literal soju (Korean liquor) thieves. With unlimited ramen refills, it's filling as a meal and perfect as a side dish to soju.

While I was eating, I couldn't help but think, "This place is truly a Hayang takeout gem."

I was especially impressed with the broth's flavor; it wasn't too salty and kept getting better and better. The ham and sausage didn't taste cheap. It was clear they used high-quality ingredients.

That's why the broth isn't heavy but clean and savory. It was perfect for enjoying with a glass of soju in the evening.

If you need a drink to cleanse your palate in between bites, I recommend Narangd Cider Zero, which is calorie-free.

It cuts through the greasiness and adds a refreshing touch, allowing you to enjoy the Budae-jjigae until the last bite.

???? Special Services & Benefits

• Kimchi Pancake & Fried Egg Self-Service Corner

• Barley Candy & Drink Self-Service Dessert

• Pork Bulgogi Side Dish Service when Presenting a Student ID (Nationwide Unique!)

• Guaranteed +1 Serving for Takeout Orders

With all these benefits, the value for money is undeniable, and you can feel the restaurant's philosophy of 'customers first'.

The generous portions and added services make it an incredible value. No wonder people say, "This place is truly a Hayang takeout gem."

???? Overall

Il-Dang-Baek Budae-jjigae was satisfying in every aspect: taste, portion size, price, and service.

I was able to enjoy the same taste at home as in the restaurant, and the extra services for takeout orders made it even more filling.

If you're looking for a delicious takeout restaurant in Gyeongsan/Hayang, don't hesitate to visit.

I wholeheartedly recommend this Hayang takeout restaurant.

Thank you for reading until the end.

Say Goodbye to Knee Pain During Exercise!

Knee pain was always my biggest concern when enjoying various activities like running, hiking, gym workouts, volleyball, and soccer. Especially pain around the patella would significantly decrease my focus. However, after wearing the Adidas AEROREADY Elite Knee Sleeves, the burden on my knees has been greatly reduced, and the pain has eased considerably. The tight yet flexible material firmly supports the knee, and the comfortable yet stable fit is truly impressive.

1+1 Deal: The Ultimate in Value for Money

Buying this set as a 1+1 deal allows me to feel supported on both knees. Often, wearing only one knee sleeve makes me feel like I'm overusing the other knee. But wearing both sleeves creates a sense of balance. Plus, being an Adidas product, the design is sleek and simple, perfectly complementing my sportswear. It's truly the best value for money.

Excellent Breathability and Durability

Many knee sleeves can feel stuffy or cause excessive sweating, but these knee sleeves feature Adidas' AEROREADY technology, providing excellent breathability that keeps my skin comfortable even during extended wear. Additionally, the durable material ensures they won't easily stretch or tear even during rigorous activities, allowing me to use them with confidence for a long time. They don't restrict movement during exercise, naturally improving my athletic performance!

Why I Recommend These for Beginners to Pros

I highly recommend these knee sleeves not only for those who exercise frequently like myself but also for anyone concerned about weak knees. They offer excellent protection during high-impact activities like volleyball and soccer, greatly helping to prevent injuries. If you have unstable knees, these are a must-have item. And since there are two in a set, you can share them with family or friends.

Knee health is crucial for enjoying exercise, right? With the Adidas AEROREADY Elite Knee Sleeves 1+1 set, you can exercise with peace of mind. I highly recommend you try them out!

While some people make it at home, many people these days order kimchi online from trusted brands due to their busy schedules. I recently ordered The Table's whole cabbage kimchi (pogi kimchi), made with Korean ingredients, and I'm here to share my review, covering everything from the packaging to the actual taste.

Careful Packaging and Fresh Delivery

The first thing I noticed when the kimchi arrived was the styrofoam box.

Inside, a large ice pack was included, which helped maintain the freshness even during long-distance delivery. The kimchi was sealed in a plastic bag and tightly secured with a cable tie, so there were no worries about leakage.

I was very pleased that the bottom of the box was clean upon arrival and there was no odor leaking out.

When I opened the styrofoam box, the ice pack was completely frozen and felt cool to the touch. I had been worried that the kimchi might ferment during delivery, but that concern disappeared the moment I received it.

I ordered it in August, and I feel reassured that I can order it with confidence even in the summer or during hot weather.

Reliable Kimchi Made with Korean Ingredients

Checking the ingredient list on the packaging, I could see that the main ingredients such as cabbage, radish, red pepper powder, and scallions were all listed as Korean.

I ordered yesterday and received the kimchi today, with a manufacturing date of August 20, 2025.

The cabbage was over 68% Korean cabbage, and the red pepper powder was also Korean. The kimchi I ordered was 2kg.

With the recent concerns about the quality of kimchi due to cheap imported Chinese kimchi, The Table kimchi alleviated those worries.

When I took the kimchi out to serve, I was impressed by the large, crisp cabbage heads with the seasoning evenly permeating the inside.

Unlike fresh kimchi that is only red on the outside, this kimchi was thoroughly seasoned all the way through, making it very appealing.

The Taste of Korean Kimchi

The first thing I noticed when I tasted it was that it wasn't too strong. Some imported kimchis are too salty or sweet, but The Table kimchi wasn't like that at all. The seasoning was just right, making it perfect as a side dish with rice, and when eaten with meat, it had a clean taste that cut through the richness.

The broth was rich and refreshing, and I thought it would be great for making kimchi stew.

The fermentation was just right, not too sour, so it was fresh and flavorful.

Kimchi Texture and Quality

As you can see in the pictures, the cabbage stalks retained a crisp texture.

Instead of the tough texture of kimchi that has been stored for a long time, it had a satisfying crunch like freshly made kimchi.

The seasoning contained a moderate amount of radish, adding variety to the texture, and there was plenty of broth, which was great for mixing with rice. Most of all, the clean finish was a highlight – there was no lingering spicy or sweet taste in my mouth after eating it.

Trustworthy Awards

The Table kimchi isn't just a product for online sales; it has actually won awards at kimchi competitions five times.

It's not just a promotional phrase; the fact that it has been recognized for its actual taste and quality made it even more trustworthy.

If you have difficulty making kimchi yourself every time, these awards can be a great help in your decision.

Recommended for These People

Single or two-person households who have difficulty making kimchi

Families looking for less spicy kimchi that children can enjoy

Those who prefer reliable Korean kimchi

Those looking for kimchi to use in various dishes such as kimchi stew and fried rice

Conclusion

The most concerning things when choosing kimchi are taste and reliability. The Table kimchi is a product that satisfies both of these needs. From the delivery packaging to the use of Korean ingredients, the clean taste, and the awards it has won, my review after eating it is that it's kimchi I would like to repurchase in the future.

I recommend The Table kimchi to those who find it difficult to make kimchi at home and those who are looking for kimchi from a reliable brand.

Today, I'm excited to share a review of kimchi that I truly love: the 10kg Cabbage Kimchi from Walkerhill Hotel, a purchase I made with my own money!

Honestly, I usually try to make my own kimchi at home whenever possible. But these days, I'm often busy, and buying pre-made, delicious kimchi in bulk is much more convenient. That's how I ended up watching home shopping channels for kimchi, and among them, Walkerhill Hotel Kimchi has been on my mind since the first time I tried it, leading me to repurchase it.

Purchase Process – In the 70,000 KRW range from Hyundai Home Shopping

This time, I purchased the 10kg set of Walkerhill Hotel Cabbage Kimchi from Hyundai Home Shopping. The price was in the 70,000 KRW range. Kimchi prices have gone up a lot recently, right? But considering it's hotel kimchi, I thought it was a pretty reasonable price.

The delivery was incredibly fast after the purchase. It arrived in just two days! Thanks to the quick delivery, I was able to receive it right before I ran out of kimchi, so I was very satisfied.

Kimchi Condition – Fresh as if Just Made

As soon as I opened the delivery box, the aroma of kimchi wafted out! The kimchi looked incredibly fresh, as if it had just been made. I could even feel the crispness of the cabbage through the plastic packaging.

As soon as I tasted it, I understood why people look for Walkerhill Hotel Kimchi.

• The cabbage was genuinely crisp and the freshness was alive.
• The seasoning wasn't too salty, just perfectly savory and clean.
• The taste of fermented seafood wasn't overpowering, and the umami flavor came through naturally!

It really felt like kimchi made by hotel chefs. Often, commercially available kimchi is too salty or the fermented seafood flavor is too strong, which can be off-putting, but this was incredibly palatable.

Previous Purchase Experience from SK Stoa

This is actually my second purchase. The first time was about a month ago when I hesitantly bought it from SK Stoa home shopping.

I thought, "Hotel kimchi? Is it just riding on the name value?" But when I actually tasted it, I was surprised by how delicious it was. I enjoyed it so much that I didn't hesitate to order it again from Hyundai Home Shopping this time.

In other words, my honest review is that this is kimchi that people will seek out again once they've tasted it.

The Walkerhill Hotel Kimchi I first purchased from SK Stoa Home Shopping

Use of Domestic Ingredients – A Trustworthy Point

Another reason why I liked Walkerhill Hotel Kimchi was the use of domestic ingredients.

Kimchi's flavor ultimately depends on the raw ingredients like cabbage, chili powder, and fermented seafood, and I found it trustworthy that these were all domestic. Especially these days, many kimchi brands use imported cabbage or fermented seafood, so just knowing that the ingredients are domestic made me feel at ease.

"Rice Thief" Kimchi – Solves Meals in a Snap

Honestly, with this kimchi, I don't have to worry about side dishes. Just put Walkerhill Hotel Kimchi on warm rice, and you can finish a bowl in no time.

I've also used this kimchi to make various dishes:

• If you make kimchi pancakes while it's freshly made, they're crispy on the outside and moist on the inside!
• When you make kimchi stew, the broth is incredibly refreshing and rich.
• It's perfect just as a side dish with rice.

In particular, Walkerhill Hotel Kimchi is delicious when cooked, but it truly shines when eaten fresh like a *geotjeori* (fresh kimchi).

Large Capacity 10kg – Worries About Storage?

At first, I thought 10kg was too much, but it quickly disappears once you start eating it. If you have a family, it'll be gone in no time, and if you're a single-person household, you can divide it up and store it in the kimchi refrigerator to enjoy it for a long time.

I received it, shared about 2-3kg with acquaintances, and put the rest in the kimchi refrigerator. It's nice because the kimchi changes into another flavor as it ferments, so you can enjoy it twice.

Overall Review of Walkerhill Hotel Kimchi

• Price: In the 70,000 KRW range from Hyundai Home Shopping → Reasonable for hotel kimchi
• Delivery: Arrived in 2 days → Satisfied with the fast delivery
• Taste: Fresh as if just made, clean seasoning, not too much fermented seafood flavor
• Repurchase Intention: 100% (Already completed the second purchase)
• Recommended For: People who have difficulty making kimchi at home, people who are looking for a clean kimchi taste

The 10kg of Walkerhill Hotel Kimchi was a choice I don't regret, and I plan to keep repurchasing it until I find an even more delicious kimchi.

It's your favorite busker, Gosam (high schooler #3), back again!

I swear, there's an angel living on top of my piano.

I bought the Land of the Lustrous (Houseki no Kuni) OST CD from the PUSHOO online store.

Honestly, I'm usually biased against domestic goods shops...

But they have so many things cheaper than the market price, which is amazing!

I listened to the CD on my CD player and it was just...perfect.

I feel like a breeze is blowing from somewhere... I want to run outside and find the ocean... Yeah...

Actually, collecting CDs has become my hobby.

I got a Project Diva song CD and a compilation album by 164-nim (Korean honorific title for people deserving respect), and I'm so happy!

I love 164-nim so much. Please accept my kiss.

Or die.

I bought stuff from Temu.

I bought an acrylic card holder and glasses...

Just...

Just...!

I bought them so well.

(Temu, you guys are doing okay...?)

I bought the glasses to put on Zakuro's acrylic standee,

But I tried them on and was impressed because they actually looked pretty good on me, haha.

And me...with acrylic stands...

I can display my Aikatsu x Miku collab cards in a row?! So exhilarating!

I ate a World Cone ice cream.

Matcha flavor.

The taste wasn't that good.

But the wrapper was so hard to peel off that I just got angry.

Does that happen to you guys too? Or was it just this one?

Watch out tonight, Lotte.

A Mimikyu Miku came.

Foreigners call it "MiMiqku," which is so cute.

The figure itself was bigger and heavier than I expected.

The heaviness I feel when I put it in my palm is

'Ah... this is the taste of money... *Shiawase* (happiness)'

It's quite cute compared to the figures I already have.

But there's no place to fix the hand... I was a bit taken aback as to why it was even there.

I just put it on there roughly... People who are thinking of buying it, take note.

Yeah.

I've gone insane.

I originally just wanted one Zakuro, but I ended up liking all the characters so much that I bought them all.

As expected, the leader has a dark background...

It's so funny and entertaining that each of them has a background that suits them perfectly.

Stop recycling the illustrations so much~~..`~`..

(But compared to other dating sim games... it's heaven... Who else would release goods so grandly for a 15th anniversary?!)

I will love you forever.

Or maybe not.

Kawaii~~~ (Cute~~~)

Cute things are always cuter when you put them together.

When I uploaded those roughly-taken photos on Twitter, they got a lot of likes... which is kind of...

Twitter is amazing.

Yeah.

I'm taking the university entrance exam.

I'm also a *gosam* (high schooler #3 - the dreaded final year).

Just.

I guess I'll just die then, what else can I do?

I'm getting anxious.

Everyone, be happy!

Well then, bye!

Now, you can easily enjoy the deep, traditional flavor of this fish sauce from the comfort of your own home with convenient 택배 (delivery) ordering.

A Special Condiment Crafted Through Traditional Fermentation

While regular soy sauce is made by fermenting soybeans, Eo-ganjang is a fermented product made from anchovies and sun-dried sea salt, undergoing a long aging process.

The artisan in Wonju carefully selects large anchovies caught in the South Sea in May, mixes them with sun-dried sea salt from which the bittern has been removed, and ages the mixture for over 18 months.

The Eo-ganjang is then filtered three times, taking approximately two years to complete.

The result is a clear sauce with a deep flavor and no fishy aftertaste, which can be used in various Korean dishes such as soups, stews, and seasoned dishes. It has a richer umami flavor than salt or regular soy sauce, enhancing the overall taste of the food.

Wonju Eo-ganjang 택배 (Delivery) Ordering and Tips

In the past, you could only find it by visiting the local area, but now you can easily enjoy the traditional taste with 택배 (delivery) ordering.

Available for purchase at online specialty product malls and official retailers.

You can choose based on aging period and quantity.

Gift wrapping service available → Suitable for holidays and gifts for parents.

Ordering Tips

Order at least two weeks in advance, as orders tend to surge during holiday seasons or immediately after the broadcast.

The longer the aging period, the richer the flavor, significantly changing the taste of the food.

After delivery, store away from direct sunlight in a cool place; refrigeration is recommended for long-term storage.

How to Use Eo-ganjang

Eo-ganjang is a versatile condiment that can be used in almost all Korean dishes.

된장찌개 (Doenjang Jjigae, Soybean Paste Stew), 김치찌개 (Kimchi Jjigae, Kimchi Stew) → Enhances umami and creates a deep broth flavor.

Clear Soups → Use instead of salt for a clean and subtle taste.

Seasoned Vegetables (Namul), Stir-fries → Seasoning becomes more firm, perfect for side dishes.

Making Kimchi → Using Eo-ganjang instead of salt doubles the savory flavor.

As such, it's a must-have item to upgrade the taste of homemade meals.

Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)

Q1. What is the difference between Eo-ganjang and regular soy sauce?

Unlike soy sauce made from soybeans, Eo-ganjang is fermented with anchovies and salt, resulting in a deeper flavor and less fishy smell.

Q2. How should I store it?

Store away from direct sunlight in a cool place. Refrigeration is recommended for long-term storage.

Q3. Is it suitable as a gift?

Yes, it's a fermented condiment made with the artisan's touch, making it a perfect gift for parents or acquaintances.

Wonju Eo-ganjang is not just a simple condiment but a result of fermentation created with time and dedication. With 택배 (delivery) ordering now available after the broadcast, you can easily experience the artisan's touch at home.

I thought it would be a great gift for my parents. If you want to complete a special dish on a special day, I highly recommend ordering it this time.

These days, if you're into health, you've probably heard about gut health!

To be honest, I used to just brush it off, but after hearing that it's connected to immunity, skin, and even diet,

I couldn't ignore it anymore!

That's when I discovered Silk Myguts Balance.

It contains probiotics, prebiotics, and even persimmon vinegar!

I usually mix it with water and drink it at the office, and I'm really enjoying it, so I thought I'd write a review!

Silk Myguts Balance

Probiotics, Gut Health, Prebiotics, Persimmon Vinegar

Constipation, Gut Management, Short-Chain Fatty Acids

Everyone knows about probiotics these days!

They directly introduce good bacteria into your gut, but the problem is they don't last long...

That's where prebiotics come in, as they act as food for the probiotics to thrive.

So, you need both for long-lasting effects!

Silk Myguts Balance is a product that really maximizes this combination!

It's not just probiotics; it also contains prebiotics and persimmon vinegar,

which makes me feel even more supported.

Actually, this is the first time I've seen persimmon vinegar in a probiotic product.

Maybe that's why it has a refreshing and tangy flavor, making it easy to drink.

I drink it on an empty stomach in the morning, and it makes me feel refreshed for the day!

And persimmon vinegar is known to be good for digestion, right?

Thanks to that, my stomach feels comfortable without any bloating.

Short-chain fatty acids are beneficial substances produced when good bacteria in the gut are active.

They are said to help with gut health and energy metabolism.

Silk Myguts Balance also contains these short-chain fatty acids,

which seems to create a better environment for probiotics to thrive.

Maybe that's why my stomach feels comfortable, and my morning bathroom routine is more regular.

I've been feeling really light lately.

Silk Myguts Balance Package - What a generous deal!

It comes with 15 packets for 15 days,

plus a bonus of 5 packets,

for a total of 20 packets, almost 3 weeks' worth of daily drinks.

I like powdered types, but I personally prefer this liquid type.

Since I don't drink enough water at the office,

I mix one packet with ice water.

Thanks to that, I'm hydrated, my skin is better, and my gut is healthier – it's a win-win-win situation!

In addition to natural Jirisan aged persimmon vinegar,

it also contains mulberry extract and purple sweet potato concentrate,

making it sweet and tangy, and easy to drink.

It also contains various carefully selected, nutrient-rich secondary ingredients.

Golden hibiscus leaf extract, L-arginine,

licorice concentrate, and stevia natural sweetener are included,

so you can feel a little more at ease and enjoy it healthily!

You can carry one packet in your bag and mix it with water, sparkling water, or sports drinks,

according to your preference.

It's also good to sprinkle on yogurt or salads.

The taste itself isn't too strong or sour,

so adding a little to any food adds a savory flavor.

The product name is "Silk Myguts Balance," which made me curious.

Silk refers to mulberry (mulberry fruit),

My refers to microbiome (gut microbial ecosystem),

and Guts refers to the intestines.

In other words, as we each take this product,

it carries the good meaning of taking responsibility for and managing our own gut health!

The color is also very pretty, right?

I usually mix it with water.

Because it contains purple sweet potato,

it has a deep purple color.

It supports the growth of various beneficial gut bacteria,

promotes digestion, provides antioxidant effects, strengthens immunity,

improves blood circulation, relieves fatigue, and even prevents aging.

Especially with products like Silk Myguts Balance,

persimmon vinegar made through natural fermentation and

prebiotic functional ingredients

improve the gut environment,

significantly improving the quality of life.

Above all, because it's food that goes into my body,

I carefully considered it.

All the ingredients in the product are

selected through strict quality verification processes and

are products that meet food safety management certification standards,

so I drink it every day without worry!

You can consume 1-3 packets a day.

If you have a weak stomach, it is better to drink one cup after a meal than on an empty stomach

(if your stomach hurts...)

It's so delicious and not irritating :)

I understand why the name includes "Balance."

Digestive issues like constipation and diarrhea, as well as

skin and fatigue, are all

connected to gut health...

After drinking it, my skin

felt a bit clearer.

I guess gut health really is connected to overall health.

I now consider Silk Myguts Balance

not just a health supplement but

a routine that I need to take care of every day!

It's not easy to manage gut health when you're busy,

but this makes it easy to take care of probiotics, prebiotics, persimmon vinegar, and

short-chain fatty acids all at once,

so I'm really satisfied.

If you're worried about gut health like me or want to take care of your skin and immunity,

I highly recommend it!

If you love ramen, you've probably heard of Jjagyetchi. It's a super simple yet delicious combination: jjajang ramen topped with cheese and a fried egg.

This time, I used Pulmuone Roasting Jjajangmyeon to create my Jjagyetchi, and the flavor difference compared to regular jjajang ramen was truly remarkable.

I kept wondering, "Why is it so rich and nutty?" The secret lies in the roasting process.

Understanding Roasting Enhances the Flavor:

Roasting involves stir-frying or grilling ingredients to enhance their flavor. While often associated with coffee beans, Pulmuone Roasting Jjajangmyeon applies this technique to its sauce.

This roasting process creates a deeper, nuttier taste that sets it apart from standard jjajang ramen.

The Pulmuone Roasting Jjajangmyeon I used is the Scallion Oil version:

"Scallion Oil Jjajangmyeon with a Rich Flavor, Enhanced with Triple Roasted Jjajang and Scallion Oil"

The sauce undergoes a triple roasting process: the black bean paste (chunjang) is roasted, then onions and meat are roasted separately, and finally, all ingredients are roasted together again. This intensifies the jjajang's deep, rich flavor, while the scallion oil adds a savory touch, elevating the overall taste of Pulmuone Roasting Jjajangmyeon.

Pulmuone's unique Triple Roasting method involves roasting each ingredient separately three times, preserving their original taste and aroma.

Ingredients:

• 1 package Pulmuone Roasting Jjajangmyeon
• 1 Egg
• 1 slice Cheddar Cheese

First, make a sunny-side-up egg with a runny yolk.

Jjagyetchi Recipe:

1. Boil 600ml of water. Once boiling, add the noodles and cook for 5 minutes.

2. Leave about 5 tablespoons of water in the pot, then add the roasting sauce and mix well.

3. Add the flavoring oil to the noodles and stir to combine.

4. Place the cheese slice on top of the hot noodles, then add the fried egg.

Optional: For even more flavor, sprinkle with dried seaweed flakes or chopped green chilies.

5. Sprinkle sesame seeds.

This simple ramen dish transforms into a restaurant-quality Jjagyetchi!

The cheese melts softly, and the yolk from the egg mixes with the unique nutty, rich flavor of the roasting sauce. The combination of cheese, egg, and roasted jjajang is incredibly addictive!

This isn't just jjajang ramen; it's a special dish! The deep flavor and savory taste are wonderful.

When you eat Jjagyetchi, are you Team Cheese or Team Egg?

Or, if you have other delicious combinations, please share them in the comments!

Noodle Dish

It's so tough going back to work after a vacation...

That's when I start looking for supplements to give me a boost!

Instead of just any supplement, I like to find something cute to cheer me up!

Chego Shim always delivers... so cute!!

In search of cute supplements, I ran to Olive Young...!

There it was, the Chego Shim Sola-C Jelly Sticks that kept popping up in my Instagram ads.

Being a Chego Shim fan, I was drawn in and made the purchase without a second thought...!

How can something be this cute, even on the inside!

✅ Contains 10 sticks, 200g total (220kcal)

✅ Price: ₩12,900

✅ Where to buy: Olive Young (online/offline), KakaoTalk Gift

✅ Flavor: Orange

I'm including a picture of the ingredient list!

Please refer to it :)

Even the sides of the box are decorated with Chego Shim designs!

Each box contains one of four random stickers, and I got the lucky sticker!

Since I love light green, I was so happy to get the green sticker! LOL

How can everything be so cute?

Each of the 10 sticks has a different design and message, and the back is also decorated differently!

It would be nice to give one to your colleagues at the office or to your friends at school!

I'm adding more images below!

The mesh upper structure achieves both breathability and drainage, and the trail-specific last provides a perfect fit.

The structure is designed for easy water drainage, making it suitable for trails in streams or rainy days. And the design hasn't been overlooked.

Hello, this is Inner Peace.

One of the biggest concerns whenever I go camping is always, “What should I eat?”

I go camping often, but it's not easy to prepare a new menu every time.

Basic options like grilled pork belly, sausages, and ramen are fine, but sometimes you crave something a little more special.

Especially this time, I wanted to enjoy a camping trip with a glass of cold Makgeolli (Korean rice wine), so I was even more concerned about finding the perfect 'alcohol pairing' dish.

So today, I'm going to share my review of a seafood and chives pancake (Haemul Buchu Jeon) meal kit that I recently enjoyed on a camping trip.

As the title suggests, it's an easy camping meal that doesn't require a recipe, so preparation is quick, and it was the perfect side dish for alcohol!

Can You Make Pancakes While Camping?

Actually, I never really thought about making pancakes at a campsite. The reasons are simple:

1. The hassle of preparing the batter in advance.

2. The heavy bag from carrying ingredients like seafood, chives, and onions.

3. The desire to minimize luggage and eat simply while camping.

Because of these three things, I always packed meat or simple pre-made foods.

But this time, I discovered a seafood and chives pancake meal kit.

I thought it was perfect and picked it up from Kurly. It was "My Chef's Crispy Seafood & Chives Pancake!"

Apparently, it was also featured on EBS's Best Cooking Secrets show! Haha

I never knew it would shine so brightly during camping ✨

Ingredients and Preparation

Inside the meal kit, the pancake mix was already mixed with pre-cut seafood and chives in appropriate proportions.

So, no separate preparation was needed at all.

I just needed to add a little water and mix it to complete the batter.

Water is readily available at campsites, so it wasn't a problem at all.

I only prepared two things:

1. Frying pan

2. Cooking oil

That's it! It was really the perfect easy camping meal that didn't require a recipe.

Cooking at the Campsite

As evening approached, I placed the frying pan on the grill, drizzled some oil, and poured a generous amount of batter.

The sizzling sound already made my mouth water. ????

The satisfaction of hearing the crispy sound getting louder and watching it cook to a golden brown...

As soon as I took the first bite, the savory taste of the seafood and the fragrant aroma of the chives spread throughout my mouth.

I never knew I would experience such a taste at a campsite.

When eaten with Makgeolli, it became the best pairing for alcohol. ????✨

​

​

Advantages of the Seafood & Chives Pancake Meal Kit

1. Convenience → No preparation required.

2. Perfection of taste → Tastes as good as eating in a specialty restaurant.

3. Optimized for camping → Reduces luggage and saves time.

4. Perfect pairing for alcohol → Goes well with both beer and soju.

Personal Thoughts

Usually, grilling meat was my routine when camping, but this time, I brought a seafood and chives pancake meal kit for the first time. As a result, I was really satisfied, and I plan to bring it consistently in the future.

Especially on rainy days or cool evenings, making warm pancakes will enhance the atmosphere, right? ????️????

When camping, what matters most is how well you can balance convenience + taste + atmosphere.

This meal kit satisfied all three.

Conclusion

Today, I shared my review of the seafood and chives pancake meal kit.

For those who are preparing for camping and wondering, "What should I eat?"

Or for those who want to easily prepare something to pair with alcohol, I highly recommend it.

It's an easy camping meal that doesn't require a recipe, and it can solve your worries about what to eat with alcohol, so I think you'll have a satisfying experience like I did. ????

Inner Peace????

There are so many merchandise products in the world, right?

I bet you're curious to see what product I've brought to you today! 😉

​

This time, I'm introducing a custom merchandise item: the 'Travel Cushion Eye Mask'!

It's a 'unique' product that combines two items in one!

Neck Cushion + Sleep Eye Mask = Cushion Eye Mask

Normally, it's a 'cute character'~

But when unfolded, it becomes a 'practical item'~

It's a product that catches 'two birds with one stone'!

​

'Is it a doll?', 'It's a doll, but why just the head?', 'What is this?'

But if you open the zipper on the side?

'OPEN!'

​

If you open the cute pig face?

A cushion and eye mask combined!

​

*Left: Before unfolding, Right: After unfolding*

Perfect for international travel, domestic trips, long drives, or even at home!

​

Take it with you on your international trips and become an instant trendsetter! 😎

On the one hand, I can't help but think, 'Isn't this the best product right now?' 🤔

​

From now on, Berrie will introduce the manufacturing process and the moments of making the 'Travel Cushion Eye Mask'.

​

*Design Submission → Ai File Submission → Pantone Color Specification → Sample Production → Delivery to Customer*

​

What the customer did: Design submission, Ai file submission, sample confirmation, Pantone color selection

​

What Berrie did: Create design drafts, suggest various designs, apply the specified Pantone colors to the fabric, bring out the detailed parts of the character in the product, produce samples

​

Product Manufacturing Information

Manufacturing: China - Made in China

Material: Wool Fabric

Character: Handoni (돼지 - Pig)

Packaging: OPP Vacuum Packaging

Filling: Polyester Cotton

​

Receive Design, Ai Files

​

This time, we will be using the 'Handoni' character to produce the product.

We provided the customer with the 'before unfolding' and 'after unfolding' design drafts, and

We even designed the 'label' that goes into the product.

Isn't the character so cute and lovely? 😍

​

Design confirmation is complete

We have a 'drawing' of the virtual sketch of the product.

When unfolded, and the important sleep eye mask part is perfectly implemented!

*Since there is no image, it has been replaced with other work images ㅠㅠ*'

Thank you for your understanding 🙏

The initial draft of the sample has been released.

The design is not perfect yet, but the shape has been implemented!

The eyes, nose, and mouth are implemented with embroidery.

​

Before the full-scale sample production as above, we create only the character's shape and proceed.

The 'blue hat' placed on the pig in this character will be an important 'point'.

​

What if you make it without hesitation and make a mistake?

To create the perfect character, you must minimize costs and time.

Before sample production, we proceeded by shaping the character.

A request was made to change the color of the sample draft fabric.

Even if it is the same color, there are various colors in 'Pantone colors' such as dark flesh color and light flesh color.

Even if it's the same color, there's a difference in feel!

So I compared several colors.

We tried our best to find the color again according to the customer's request and started sample production.

I wait for the sample with half expectations and half trembling...

​

A few days later

The sample has arrived~

Let's take a look together!

Completed sample!!🤩🤩🤩🤩

But something is strange.

The wrinkled ear area and Doni's hair (blue lid) have no three-dimensionality and give a strong impression of being pressed!

​

Now I will request the factory again.

1. Make the hair (blue lid) part without three-dimensionality more three-dimensional by filling it with more cotton.

2. Change the clumsy ear part to be pointy

​

Go! GO! to check the re-made draft!

Tada!

The ears are also made pointy, and 'Handoni's hair is plumper than before!

Now, let's appreciate the actual product containing the upper, front, side, and rear views!

This is how the final sample image came out.

The world's only 'Handoni Cushion Eye Mask' was created!

The customer was very satisfied and Berrie was very proud too.🎉🎉🎉🎉

*Additionally, the color of the ring on the back has been changed to light yellow*

There's one last thing to check!

The important label position and the front and back phrases on the label match the draft.

Berrie's DE.TAIL that ✅CHECKs even these trivial parts!

​

Berrie has a 'mounted' mindset of creating 'one work' rather than thinking of it as 'work'.

That's why high-quality products are always born!

​

I always work with a 'grateful' heart to everyone who has entrusted me! 🥰

I am proud that a very meaningful and memorable work has come out ㅎㅎ

Thank you for entrusting me, customer 💖

​

'The item has been delivered to the customer ✅'

​

Well! 'Handoni' is here now.

The 'Travel Cushion Eye Mask' creation journey has come to an end.

​

Isn't it so much fun everyone?

The product you imagined is made, and you can see it in front of you!

​

'Merchandise' is a 'unique product' of a certain company.

No one can measure the 'value' of this.

Because the moment it is made, it is made with the title of 'the only product in the world'!

Everything from design, color, and packaging!!

Your imagination becomes a reality, and that is 'merchandise'.

​

We will continue to introduce more products in the future, so please give us your sympathy and comments~

​

✨Berrie welcomes all business people✨

'THANK YOU!!'

To Be continued...

Among the many options, today I'd like to introduce a dish that fills your mouth with a savory flavor the moment you take a bite: the Jiri-san Cheoreom Perilla Oil Buckwheat Noodle Meal Kit.

The unique nutty flavor of perilla oil combined with chewy buckwheat noodles!

With its simple preparation, this kit delivers both great taste and convenience.

It's so easy to make, it’s highly recommended for busy professionals, those who eat alone, and anyone looking for a quick weekend meal.

It's great to enjoy at home, but also perfect for outdoor settings like camping.

A delightful bowl of noodles that tastes like it came straight from the foothills of Jiri Mountain, without any complicated cooking.

Enjoy a delicious and satisfying meal at home with the Perilla Oil Buckwheat Noodle Meal Kit!

Each serving is individually packaged and can be stored at room temperature, making it a great meal kit recommendation.

It's made using 100% Korean perilla oil, so the savory aroma is fantastic.

Looking at the cooking instructions, it's very simple, as expected from a convenient meal kit.

You can enjoy perilla oil buckwheat noodles in about 5 minutes.

Each ingredient is individually packaged.

It includes traditional square-cut buckwheat noodles for a chewier and more delicious texture.

It also comes with a flavorful soy sauce-based broth (tsuyu) that isn't overly strong, plus perilla oil extracted from 100% Korean perilla seeds for an exquisite nutty flavor.

The kit includes 100% Korean dried seaweed flakes and 100% perilla seed powder to enhance the savory taste and texture.

When I actually prepared it, the ingredients were simple but had everything you needed.

Chewy buckwheat noodles, savory perilla oil, flavorful tsuyu broth, dried seaweed flakes, and perilla seed powder are all included, so anyone can easily make it with just boiling water.

Fill a pot with plenty of water and add the buckwheat noodles when the water is boiling.

Boil for 4 to 4.5 minutes.

Rinse the boiled buckwheat noodles several times in cold water and drain as much water as possible.

Place the noodles in a bowl, add the perilla oil and soy sauce, and gently mix well.

Sprinkle the perilla seed powder and dried seaweed flakes on top to finish.

Just boil the noodles, rinse them in cold water, and mix them with the soy sauce and perilla oil for a simple and savory bowl of perilla oil buckwheat noodles.

The noodles didn't get soggy but stayed firm, so I thought the quality was really good for packaged noodles.

The perilla oil aroma is not artificial but subtly fragrant, providing a clean and refreshing flavor without being greasy.

I felt like I was having a bowl of carefully prepared cuisine.

I could feel that from Jiri-san Cheoreom perilla oil buckwheat noodles meal kit.

Rich-flavored perilla oil and chewy, savory noodles.

And wouldn't you be satisfied with a relaxing meal that's easy to prepare?

If you're looking for a quick and easy meal that stimulates your appetite and is gentle on your stomach even during a busy day, I highly recommend trying this menu.

Kimchi is an essential side dish in Korean cuisine.

However, it's not easy to make it yourself in a busy life. So, this time, I ordered a set of Jeolla-do style scallion kimchi and mustard leaf kimchi (1kg each) from Bo Bae Kimchi.

As a result, I can say that I was “satisfied with both the taste and the reliability.”

Today, I'm going to share my review from ordering to taste and visuals.

Ordering and Delivery Process of Jeolla-do Mustard Leaf Kimchi (1kg)

The ordering process was simple, and the phrase “Korean Ingredients + Handmade + HACCP Certified” immediately caught my eye in the product description.

The delivery arrived safely in a Styrofoam box with ice packs. 

The packaging carefully indicated the manufacturing date and ingredients.

HACCP Certification and Hygiene Management

Kimchi is a fermented food, so hygiene management is particularly important. This product is made in a HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) certified facility, so I could rest assured.

HACCP is a management system that blocks hazardous elements in all processes from raw material import to pickling, seasoning, and packaging. This company has further ensured safety by undergoing metal detector inspection.

The HACCP mark was also on the packaging, so as soon as I received it, I thought, “I can trust and eat this.”

Korean Scallion Kimchi Review (Visuals + Taste)

As soon as I opened the Korean scallion kimchi after arrival, the contrast between the green scallion stalks and the red seasoning was striking.

Looking at the scallion kimchi in the picture, the long scallions are evenly coated with spicy seasoning, and the glossy appearance is mouth-watering.

The video confirmed that the seasoning was moistly absorbed between the scallions, and the actual product I received was not much different from the screen.

When I tasted it, the subtle scallion flavor and the spicy and salty seasoning harmoniously blended, and the word “밥도둑” (rice thief – meaning it makes you eat a lot of rice) came out naturally.

Thanks to the non-tough and crunchy texture, my spoon wouldn't stop whenever I put it on top of rice.

The taste was just like the visuals – the saying “Good-looking kimchi tastes good too” was perfect.

Korean Mustard Leaf Kimchi Review (Visuals + Taste)

Dol-san mustard leaf kimchi had a visually rich Jeolla-do kimchi feel with its unique dark green leaves and red seasoning.

The mustard leaf kimchi in the provided picture had spicy seasoning evenly absorbed into the fresh leaves.

The video clearly showed the gloss on the seasoning and the texture of the mustard leaves.

When I actually tasted it, the unique pungent aroma of mustard leaf came up in the first bite, and the subtle bitterness and savory taste came out as I chewed. As it aged a little more, the deep flavor rose, and the unique charm of Jeolla-do style mustard leaf kimchi came to life even more. I received it today and tasted it right away, and I could see that the manufacturing date was written as August 27th.

Mustard leaf kimchi was satisfying enough just to eat it on top of warm rice.

It went well with mild side dishes such as egg rolls or tofu, making a meal richer.

Thanks to its unique pungent taste, ordinary home-cooked meals felt much more special.

Storage and Usage

Kimchi can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for a long time.

If you add scallion kimchi to kimchi fried rice, you can bring out a unique flavor with the scent of scallions.

I recommend mustard leaf kimchi because it enhances the taste of the broth when eaten with knife-cut noodles or banquet noodles.

It has a different personality from cabbage kimchi, so it was a great choice when you need a different side dish.

Recommended For

1-2 person households, those who have difficulty making kimchi

Those who like the deep taste of Jeolla-do kimchi

Those looking for kimchi to gift to parents or acquaintances

Families who frequently cook meat dishes

It is a choice that can be recommended to everyone.

Conclusion

The Bo Bae Kimchi scallion kimchi and mustard leaf kimchi 1kg set that I ordered this time was a side dish that allowed me to have a delicious meal. In particular, I recommend it to those who live alone or have difficulty making kimchi themselves.

100% Korean ingredients

HACCP certification and metal detector inspection guarantee hygiene and quality

Scallion Kimchi: Rice thief with a harmonious blend of subtle aroma and savory taste

Mustard Leaf Kimchi: Deep taste and pungent flavor unique to Jeolla-do

If you are looking for handmade kimchi at the level of a kimchi 맛집 (famous restaurant), I can confidently recommend it.

Thank you for reading today, and I hope you have a good day.

'Food Truck Battle' is a gourmet variety show that explores 'hidden restaurants' favored by locals, not well known to typical tourists. To be honest, I discovered the show while searching for Yeon Woo-jin's glasses, but I found it so entertaining that I ended up watching it for a while. My mouth was watering the whole time!

Seeing them eat so deliciously, just as the subtitles described, I almost ordered pasta right away... Enduring the pain of being on a diet, I pressed the power button to turn it off. And then, I examined the glasses worn by actor Yeon Woo-jin, which was my original purpose. A very familiar design caught my eye, and I knew instantly what glasses they were. Let's take a look at the glasses Yeon Woo-jin wears on 'Food Truck Battle'.

Lunor M5 Mod. 02 AS

The glasses worn by Yeon Woo-jin are the Lunor M5 Mod. 02 model in Antique Silver color, from the German classic eyewear brand Lunor.

The design is like a panto shape that has been slightly pressed vertically, and at first glance, it may look like an oval shape. If you feel that the vertical length of a typical panto shape is too long for your face, or if a common oval shape feels a bit overwhelming, this design is an excellent choice.

The Lunor M5 02 model has been a long-time bestseller in the Lunor eyewear lineup, maintaining consistent sales since its release and serving as an iconic representation of the brand. Although it doesn't suit my face, it's a charming model that I highly recommend to users looking for classic glasses.

In variety shows, dramas, and movies, many of the glasses or sunglasses worn by celebrities are often sponsored products. So, what about Yeon Woo-jin's glasses in 'Food Truck Battle'? Lunor is not a brand that actively engages in sponsorship, and looking at his Instagram feed, it seems that he has been enjoying wearing them as his personal item for quite some time. As expected, his fashion sense is outstanding.

Yeon Woo-jin's glasses are not just a fleeting sponsored item, but something he has cherished and worn for a long time. That's why they feel more stylish and authentic. I hope you can find your own 'signature eyeglasses' at Lunor, just like Yeon Woo-jin.

I've recently been obsessed with the home cafe matcha trend and have been having so much fun making matcha lattes at home!

Luckily, I had the opportunity to try organic matcha!

It's "Organic Jeju Matcha," grown in Jeju Island, Korea, which makes it reliable and promising in quality!

Check out my detailed review below!⬇️

This post is part of the Naver Shopping Connect activity, and I receive a commission for sales generated.

Price & Composition

• Volume: 100g
• Price: ₩14,800 (Based on Naver Smartstore)
• Origin: Jeju Island

(Made in the Hallasan mountain area of Jeju Island, which has the optimal environment for tea tree cultivation)

It's a bit more expensive than regular green tea powder, but considering the rich flavor and nutritional benefits of matcha, I think it's a reasonable price.

• Rich in Polyphenols (Catechins) - Antioxidant effect for anti-aging
• Contains L-Theanine - Enhances concentration and relieves stress
• Vitamins A, C, and E, Minerals - Skin regeneration and strengthens immunity
• Dietary Fiber - Aids in diet

Unlike green tea, matcha is made by grinding the entire tea leaf into powder, so a major advantage is that you can consume all the nutrients!

Home Cafe Method & Review

I mixed it with plain yogurt to make matcha yogurt, which I loved because I could add as much as I wanted!

I made it slightly bitter and topped it with chocolate protein shake for a chocolate matcha latte with plenty of protein!

It was delicious! hehe

You can also make sweet matcha lattes by adding syrup or allulose, and some people even make matcha cookies with it for home baking!

I'll try that next time! hehe

(However, it's high in caffeine, so it's best to avoid it in the evening.)

Overall Review

I have a high level of trust in the quality because it's organic from Jeju Island, and I'm satisfied because I can easily make cafe-quality matcha drinks at home!

It's the perfect product for the wellness trend!

Drinking during pregnancy increases the risk of birth defects.

Yu-gun tried Kyungwol Soju at a friend's house and loved it! ★

Yu-gun enjoys a simple drink with his meals, and these days, Kyungwol Soju is his top pick.

Let's take a closer look at Yu-gun's favorite, Kyungwol Soju Green~?!

鏡月 (Kyungwol)

Kyungwol Soju Green

Green

Alc. 20%

Kyungwol Soju uses the characters for "mirror" (鏡) and "moon" (月) in its name.

It was first released in 1926, but I only recently discovered this new liquor.

First produced in Gangwon-do in the 1920s, Kyungwol Soju is a traditional Korean distilled spirit.

The brand emphasizes the clear, clean nature of Seoraksan Mountain.

Doosan Electronics launched it as Green Soju, and Kyungwol Soju became a huge hit by emphasizing its clean image.

Thanks to Kyungwol Soju, green bottles have become the standard for soju.

Kyungwol Soju disappeared from the domestic market for a while.

Ah~ That's why I didn't know about it until now?!

However, it gained recognition in Japan and became very popular as a liquor that stimulates retro sensibilities.

Recently, Lotte Chilsung Beverage brought the brand back to Korea and relaunched it.

It's stimulating consumers' nostalgia! ♪

There are two types of Kyungwol Soju:

Kyungwol Green 20 and Kyungwol Green 25.

The product in the photos is Kyungwol Green Soju 20.

It's a diluted, distilled mixed-type soju, combining distilled soju essence and refined spirits.

Volume: 700ml

Alcohol content: 20%

Price: Around ₩5,000~6,000

You can buy it at large supermarkets like E-Mart and GS convenience stores.

I bought mine at E-Mart, and it's not sold at E-Mart Traders.

It's available for around ₩5,000 at E-Mart, and around ₩6,500 at GS convenience stores.

I haven't bought it at GS convenience stores, but availability may vary depending on store stock.

The taste of Kyungwol Green Soju is clean and not sweet.

What's great is that it doesn't have that characteristic soju disinfectant(?) smell!

It's a liquor with a smooth finish because it doesn't have a strong aroma.

However, the only downside is that the glass bottle is larger than expected, making it inconvenient to pour into a glass.

So, I transferred it to a small kettle to drink.

Like pouring makgeolli into a kettle? Hehe

Kyungwol Green Soju 25 is mainly sold in Japan.

With an alcohol content of 25%, it's stronger than Kyungwol Green 20!

At first, it feels smoother than its alcohol content suggests, but the finish is said to be deep and intense.

I'll have to try it when I go to Japan!

Kyungwol Soju Green 20 emphasizes its green concept with a retro green bottle.

It's said to be popular in retro bars in Japan.

Thank you, Lotte Chilsung, for relaunching it in Korea! Hehe

Kyungwol Soju Green 20 allows you to fully experience the retro vibe.

Although it disappeared from Korea and is more famous in Japan, it has been relaunched in Korea and can now be enjoyed domestically.

It can be purchased at large supermarkets like E-Mart or GS convenience stores.

If you're a soju lover, why not give it a try?

Excessive drinking is bad for your health, so let's all enjoy drinking in moderation! ♥

I visited Panda Phone because I needed a second phone for business purposes and was looking around for options.

Due to the nature of my job, I needed multiple phones to separate work and personal use. I wasn't particularly looking for the latest model, so I wanted to inquire about purchasing several phones at the lowest possible price.

The specs I wanted were a phone that would last a long time, with a long-lasting battery, but I didn't care much about the storage capacity.

After listing these points, they recommended a few models, and I decided to purchase two phones that day.

I've been using them for a few days now, and they're really sturdy! The features they recommended perfectly meet my needs, which is great!

Both my employees and I are satisfied, so I'm planning to contact them again when I need to increase the number of phones!

They provided very transparent quotes and clearly explained the pros and cons, which built trust.

Aside from a second phone, I'm also considering contacting them when I need to replace my main phone!

They also sell smartphone accessories separately! I didn't buy any, but it seems like a great place for those who want to replace screen protectors or phone cases when they get a new phone. I recommend it.

I see they also buy used phones, so if you're interested, it might be good to inquire.

The price of your used phone varies depending on its condition. If you sell your old phone and buy a new one, you might feel like you can upgrade your device for a surprisingly small amount.

In today's active used goods market, it's a good way to trade. You might want to consider it! Many people probably have old phones lying around at home that they're reluctant to throw away, but I think it might be a good idea to get rid of them!

Address: 33, Yongjeonggongwon-ro, Michuhol-gu, Incheon, A-2 Building, 1st Floor, No. 103

At first, it was hard to find the bread, but now it seems like they have plenty in stock. I rushed to the store before the elementary school kids got out of school, just in case they bought them all!

I've been trying all the Pixelly breads one by one, and now I'm ready to rank them:

1. Rader Sausage Pizza Bread

Rating: 4.8/5

The tastiest and most reliable. Paired with a drink, it could easily be a meal replacement. It's delicious and a good value for the price, so I'll probably buy it often.

2. Sleepground Cream Cheese Cloud Bread

Rating: 4.0/5

I was a little nervous to try it since I don't love cream cheese, but the cream cheese flavor isn't overpowering. It mostly tastes like whipped cream, but the whipped cream is chewy. The bread itself is also very chewy and soft.

The taste is just a plain whipped cream bread, but I loved the chewy texture. I don't usually go for whipped cream breads, so I probably won't buy it often. Still, the texture was really great.

3. Duck's Mung!stera

Rating: 3.8/5

I didn't have high expectations, but it was surprisingly good. It's a castella cake with a subtle dalgona (Korean honeycomb candy) flavor, and it's quite sweet, making it the most snack-like of the bunch. It's so sweet that it would be best shared with a friend. The cake is supposed to have footprints on top, but the ones on mine were so faint that I couldn't see them, which was a shame...

4. Dinosaur's Melon Soboro

Rating: 4.1/5

It's the most expensive bread, so it feels like the highest quality. The soboro topping is delicious, and the melon cream isn't too rich or overpowering. This one also feels like a snack, but it's filling enough to be a meal replacement. However, the price is a bit high, and the melon cream can be a little cloying, so it comes in at number 4.

5. Eachstar's Starry Sky Chocolate Cake

Rating: 3.0/5

I was really looking forward to this one after the Sleepground bread, but it was a disappointment. There's not enough chocolate cream compared to the thickness of the bread, making it dry, and the chocolate flavor is very generic. I probably won't buy it again. It might be good if soaked in milk, though.

6. Suhyun's Strawberry Cream Bread

Rating: 2.5/5

My first thought after eating it was "Wing?!" (referencing something unmentioned).

I watch the Kohsoo channel regularly and like Suhyun; I'm not an anti-fan! But honestly, the bread was pretty bad.

It's not that it's bad, but it's just so predictable. The texture and taste are exactly like morning bread with strawberry jam. I honestly felt like I wasted my money.

Since the sticker can be found in other breads, I wouldn't bother buying this again. It's a shame. Suhyun is a great person, but this bread is low quality compared to the others... It's so plain that it might be the most popular with kids who can't handle adventurous flavors or salty/sweet things. It might be a kid's pick, rather than for adults who have already experienced sophisticated tastes.

I bought the Ghanadi too, just because (자만추: pursuing relationships naturally).

What's really amazing is that all three Ghanadi flavors were standing proudly - I was impressed!

Next time, I'll try to get the Book Book Ghanadi Mango Drink.

I haven't tried the banana milk yet, but I'll add a review after I do.

Costco Da Dam Kimchi Chips Review

Recommended Snack by Cha Ye-ryun & Kim Nam-joo

Costco Da Dam Kimchi Chips Price

40g*6 / ₩14,990 - ₩2,300 = ₩12,690

The Costco Da Dam Kimchi Chips (40g*6) are priced at ₩14,990, and I bought them for ₩12,690 with a ₩2,300 discount (until 2025/9/14).

Initially, I was hesitant to buy a large quantity at Costco, so I tried to order just one from Market Kurly, but it was ₩3,800 for one (40g) ????

Buying a box at Costco during the sale makes it much cheaper at ₩2,115 per bag (40g), so I decided to buy it at Costco. Now that I think about it, they're so delicious that you can finish them in no time, so six bags aren't really that much, haha.

Cha Ye-ryun and Kim Nam-joo also fell for Kimchi Chips!

Among the various celebrities who mentioned that Kimchi Chips are delicious, Cha Ye-ryun and Kim Nam-joo are representative examples. I couldn't help but be curious.

Costco Kimchi Chips: Features, Ingredients, and Calories

Kimchi Chips are a K-snack that lets you experience the crispy edges of kimchi pancakes. They are made using kimchi broth and Korean rice flour that has been fermented at a low temperature for over 500 hours.

Also, it is a kimchi snack that uses directly made kimchi, uses the method of preparing fried seaweed, and is characterized by implementing a familiar but special taste.

Kimchi Chips contain 43% kimchi broth and 31.5% rice flour, are gluten-free, and have 198kcal per bag (40g).

What do Costco Kimchi Chips taste like?

Opening the box revealed six individually packaged Kimchi Chips.

I opened one to taste it, and wow! I was surprised by how little there was. At about ₩2,000-₩3,000 per bag, it's not cheap, and there's so little in the bag that the resealable packaging feels a bit embarrassing.

(I would have been really shocked if I had bought them for ₩3,000+ at Market Kurly or Olive Young)

I put them on a plate without eating any, and this is exactly how much you get in one bag.

And for the most important part, the taste! As described, it tastes just like the crispy edges of a kimchi pancake, with the unique savory flavor of kimchi, saltiness, nuttiness, and a crispy texture that is really attractive.

I understand why celebrities praised it so much. The taste is good, and I tried dipping it in mayonnaise, which is said to be delicious with cream cheese or mayonnaise dipping sauce, and the combination was really good.

It's definitely delicious as a snack, with beer, or with makgeolli. The taste and amount are such that you can finish it in no time once you open it, so I'll have to buy another box soon~

So far, I've introduced the discounted price of Costco Da Dam Kimchi Chips, my honest review, and why it's a recommended snack by Cha Ye-ryun and Kim Nam-joo. The amount is disappointing compared to the price, but it's a Costco snack that I'll repurchase because the ingredients are good and it tastes good. I hope this review was helpful for those who were curious about Kimchi Chips.

After catching a play in Daehakro, what could be better than exploring traditional tea houses, art galleries, and time-honored restaurants?

I love following the classic route: theater → dinner → cafe → Ssamziegil. And after all that, I always make sure to check out the nearby accessory and vintage shops.

Among them, today I'm introducing 'Insadong Vintage Shop,' a Jongno clothing store where I always seem to find that perfect, one-of-a-kind item!

Location Information: 30-1, Insadong-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul, B1 floor

Hours: Open daily from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM

You can reach it in 8 minutes on foot from Jongno 3-ga Station Exit 5, or from Anguk Station Exit 6, walk straight past Ssamziegil, and you'll arrive in just 6 minutes!

Since they're open from 10 AM to 10 PM every day, weekdays and weekends alike, it's easy to stop by whenever you want. It's a great place to browse clothes casually while hanging out nearby :)

Especially in the evening, the neon sign that says 'Insadong Vintage' shines brightly, adding to the atmosphere.

Head down to the B1 floor following the sign and you'll arrive at the store.

Inside

Insadong Vintage is a place full of things to see, where you can purchase a wide variety of clothes at reasonable prices!

From eye-catching outerwear in vibrant colors, denim skirts and jeans, to trendy items like sporty jackets...

They also have a wide selection of brand items like Stussy t-shirts, Carhartt WIP, and Polo Ralph Lauren shirts.

There are also many fashionable accessories, such as stylish sports bags, sunglasses, and snapbacks. Every time I come, I spend ages looking around, wondering what to try on first!

Unlike other vintage shops, most of the clothes have sizes marked on them, making it easier to choose.

And if you're not sure what suits you, the staff are friendly and helpful, so even fashion novices can shop with confidence.

The staff themselves are so stylishly dressed that just looking at them gives you a boost of style inspiration!

There's also a separate women's clothing section, and the fact that you can buy high-quality clothes at low prices thanks to the many discount events is the biggest appeal of Insadong Vintage.

In particular, you can get a total of 10% off: 5% off for writing a review on Naver or Google + another 5% off for following them on Instagram and posting a story or feed! Don't forget to take advantage of these offers :)

Fitting

The fitting rooms aren't just curtained off; they're enclosed, with a door you can lock from the inside, which is much more comfortable.

I grabbed three tops, a denim skirt, and two pairs of shorts to try on.

The most eye-catching item was the white cropped tweed jacket.

The airy fabric, gold buttons, and voluminous shoulder line were all so appealing, but it was just a little too small, so I had to give it up ㅠㅠ.

Next time, I'll come back after losing some weight and try again!

The dark charcoal denim jacket looked like it would be great for everyday wear, especially paired with my favorite denim shorts.

In fact, after buying it, I wore it non-stop for a while haha.

Also, the Stussy crew neck t-shirt was exactly the style I'd been looking for for so long, so I didn't even check the price properly and just bought it right away!

Thanks to that, I can finally wear the outerwear I bought a bunch of at Zara a while ago, which had been languishing in my closet because I didn't have anything suitable to wear underneath!!

My bank account was already running low, so I was just planning to browse, but that was never going to happen… The moment I found those must-have items, I paid in an instant.

But you know how it is: if you don't buy clothes you like at the time, you'll definitely regret it later, right? haha

Insadong Vintage in Jongno, Seoul, is a clothing store where you can buy a variety of clothes and fashion items cheaply.

I highly recommend it to those who can't find clothes they like, no matter how hard they search department stores or street shops!

I got to see Jennie's autographed Stanley tumbler in person. I waited in line for a whopping 3 hours to get in!

I've also gathered tips on how to get a discount on the tumblers, so make sure to read until the end!

*Located a 1-minute walk from Seongsu Station Exit 3

Reservation

The Stanley pop-up opened on September 19th at 3 PM. I arrived around 3:30 PM, a little after the opening time, and was informed of a 3-hour wait and received waiting number 243. Admission is free.

It will probably be crowded throughout the event period. There were surprisingly many foreign visitors.

Reservations are only available offline.

After waiting in line, you need to follow Stanley Korea's Instagram, write down the number of people and your phone number, and wait for a KakaoTalk notification message. It's great that only one person needs to go and make the reservation on behalf of the group.

After making the reservation, you're free to explore other places. However, you must enter within 10 minutes of receiving the entry notification via KakaoTalk. I recommend looking around the neighborhood.

Photo Zone

The entire venue is a photo zone from the moment you enter.

There's a TV and a camcorder set up. Everyone takes a picture of themselves reflected in the camcorder before entering.

I took a picture as I was entering as the last person.

After receiving a brief explanation at the first photo zone, you'll enter a dazzling space decorated with special lighting.

The space is surrounded by mirrors, making it feel magical. It personally reminded me of Gentle Monster. The actual items are much more dazzling than in the photos.

The mirrors are widely placed, making it great for taking mirror selfies. About 15 people were allowed in at a time, and they managed the numbers well, so it felt spacious.

You don't need to feel rushed at all; you can take your time to look around. The surface of the tumblers shines beautifully under the lights.

There's also an SNS Instagram event. The prize is a Stanley 1913 x Jennie tumbler! I might upload a post myself..

However, I heard today that Naver blogs are not eligible.

The Quencher Luxe Tumbler 887ml in Midnight Ruby and the All Day Slim Bottle 355ml in Midnight Ruby were both so stunning and pretty in person.

Jennie's Autographed Special Gift

Once you've explored the first floor, go up the stairs to the second floor. Upstairs, a staff member will give you a brief explanation about the second-floor event and purchase details.

There are many staff members compared to the space, so you can ask them any questions you have.

The scattered flower petals are inspired by Jennie's RUBY album, which is this collaboration's theme.

Shall we take a closer look at Jennie's autographed tumbler...????

You can see the flower petal pattern well, right?

Collaboration Product Information

Midnight Ruby Collection! It's the first Luxe line.

Compared to the existing Quencher line, which ranged from ₩44,000 to ₩64,000, it's a bit pricier, but considering it's a limited edition and comes with the Ninibara keyring, I think it's a reasonable price. We'll be able to use it for a long time.

And the combination of matte + famous pattern black color is so pretty, isn't it? There won't be a color like this again.

Stanley 1913 x Jennie Quencher Luxe Tumbler 887ml Midnight Ruby

Stanley 1913 x Jennie All Day Slim Bottle 355ml Midnight Ruby

The Quencher Luxe has a generous size and comes with a keyring. It's worth collecting.

The keyring is a character inspired by capybaras. Jennie's pick is so cute ㅠㅠ. Its name is Ninibara!

The Slim Bottle is small, lightweight, and easy to clean. At first, I thought, "How am I going to wash this?" but there was another opening in the middle for cleaning and adding ice.

*On-site purchases are limited to 3 items per product. Please keep this in mind when purchasing.

Pop-up Event Period

2025.09.19 / 15:00 ~ 21:00

2025. 09. 20 ~ 2025.09.28 / 11:00 ~ 21:00

Seongsu Stanley Pop-up Limited Benefits

They are offering a free tumbler engraving service. If you purchase a tumbler and apply for engraving, it will be done sequentially, so you can come back and pick it up later.

You can also participate in a lucky draw event!

The goods include bandanas, mirrors, and keyrings. I drew 4th place and got a keyring.

Who will be the winner of the special gift?

It's a Stanley 1913 x Jennie Quencher Luxe with Jennie's autograph! Congratulations in advance!

Participate in the Instagram post upload event and take a Photoism picture~ You can easily participate by simply uploading a story.

You only get one chance to take the picture, and you can print up to 2 copies, so the line moves quickly. There are two photo booths available.

Conclusion

Located a 1-minute walk from Seongsu Station Exit 3

The wait was long, but it was worth it. It was nice that I could enjoy it at a relaxed pace. If you're looking for a place to go on a date or hang out in Seongsu in September, I recommend the Stanley Jennie collaboration pop-up!

And I didn't buy a tumbler at the pop-up, but I regret it a little? The advantage of buying at the pop-up is the free engraving, and online purchases have a slightly cheaper discount.

Be careful not to buy from fake lowest prices or places with unclear origins that come up in searches. You must buy genuine products + at a price you can feel!! (The cheapest price that includes coupon discounts, points, card discounts, and free shipping)

*When paying with an event card + additional membership discount

Moreover, we have to put water in the tumbler and drink it!! There is a ₩1,000 discount coupon with free fast shipping, so be sure to download it from the link below and make a smart purchase together!!

Hansot Art Space is a gallery operated by Hansot Dosirak as part of their ESG management initiatives. I appreciated that it provides opportunities for the public to enjoy culture and for artists to showcase their work.

This particular exhibition, <Cheongdam Pongdang: A Special Imagination>, was a collaboration with Kimuus Studio to present the artwork of artists with developmental disabilities. It offered not only visual delight but also a heartwarming experience.

Upon entering, I was immediately drawn to the bright colors and unique paintings. The lively works, perfectly matching the cute and dynamic title 'Pongdang' (Splash), brightened my mood.

I visited during the Cheongdam Night event, which took place during Frieze Art Week. The party atmosphere included elaborate lighting, which made the artworks seem like LED pieces. (Please note that the lighting is not usually this elaborate!)

At this exhibition, Kimuus Studio presented their representative works alongside new, lesser-known pieces. As it was a global exhibition featuring international artists, it was enjoyable to appreciate each piece.

I particularly liked the adorable and vibrant works featuring animals, as well as the pieces that told stories and expressed a desire for 'togetherness'.

These were truly happy artworks that brought a smile to my face, making the entire experience delightful for both my eyes and my heart.

A way to feel happy right now.

Something else to look out for at <Cheongdam Pongdang: A Special Imagination> besides the paintings, were the 'poems'. The short texts written next to the titles of the artworks might be mistaken for descriptions (as I did!), but they were actually another form of art presented at this exhibition.

Poems written by another artist inspired by each painting.

I enjoyed these witty poems that complemented the cute paintings, as well as the poems that added narratives to the artwork, leaving a deep impression.

How diverse and unique! The word 'bubbly' or 'vibrant' couldn't be more fitting.

The works, with their childlike innocence and yet intricate details, their precision and regularity yet underlying wit, never ceased to amaze me.

In addition, the Cheongdam Night atmosphere, with its lighting and vegetable flower arrangements, perfectly complemented the exhibition and created a memorable experience.

Hansot Art Space's Kimuus Studio group exhibition <Cheongdam Pongdang: A Special Imagination> was a joyful experience for both the eyes and the heart. If you want to see works that will instantly lift your spirits, or if you're looking for things to do near Apgujeong Rodeo Station, I highly recommend visiting this exhibition.

None other than Milrak The Market + Market Night! I grabbed some hearty soup with a friend's sibling,

wandered around, checked into our accommodation, and headed straight to Milrak The Market before the dinner rush.

For your information, Milrak The Market and Market Night aren't separate entities. During the day, Milrak The Market operates as a kind of all-in-one shop with food shops, Starbucks, and accessories,

so you can think of it as a complex cultural space. Then, from 7 PM onwards, it transforms into Market Night, a night market vibe combined with a trendy 'pocha' (outdoor bar) atmosphere!

I'll introduce it to you step by step.

I came here with high expectations, and even though I visited on a Thursday, I had to wait in line. I was thinking, 'Are there this many people?' Of course, it's vacation season, but a hot spot is a hot spot for a reason!

This is what Milrak The Market looks like before sunset. You can sit and enjoy the atmosphere in the outdoor 'nopo' (old restaurant) style.

Personally, I highly advise against sitting outside during the summer!

Here's a pro tip! As you can see in the photos, there's a DJ booth in the middle, with tables on either side.

To the left are food spots where you can order food, and to the right are drink spots where you can order alcohol. If you're easily bothered by the heat,

dislike loud music, and prefer to avoid crowds and chaos, I strongly recommend sitting upstairs.

From my experience, the tables downstairs are sweltering! There's a food preparation area, and people are packed tightly together,

and there's barely any air conditioning. So, try to grab a spot on the stepped seating area. Another tip! When you're waiting in line to enter,

make sure to bring your ID! If you forget it, you can download the Government24 app, get verified, and issue a mobile ID card.

When I sat down, I could see the Gwangan Bridge and Gwanganli Beach. The vibe at sunset was amazing!

The food is quite pricey, but some items are of good quality.

Also, note that the staff are usually on standby, but if your seat is empty for about 20 minutes, they'll clear it immediately.

So, make sure at least one person stays behind. Also, try to stagger your restroom visits, haha! It's almost like a hip-hop club,

playing the same songs over and over, so you can think of it as a sentimental bar. Oh! When you enter, they stamp your wrist or hand,

which allows you to re-enter at any time. So, if you want to hang out for a bit and then go out for a second or third round elsewhere,

feel free! My friend and I secured our spot and then explored the total shop upstairs.

There were burgers, pizza, and cafes.

There are also fish restaurants, clothing and accessories shops that are worth checking out. It's well-equipped for eating, enjoying, and having fun!

I want to explain how to get to the restroom because it might be confusing at first. I'm someone who values restrooms a lot!

Go straight into the area where it says, and turn right. You'll find the restrooms there!

If you go up the stairs from the initial entrance and walk straight, you'll see a row of shops on the upper floor. If you follow the path, you'll reach a place that looks like the picture in the center.

The restroom is a bit far, so it was a bit inconvenient to go back and forth while drinking at Market Night.

This is what I mentioned earlier about parking!

I ordered Soju and beer, and sweet and sour pork to go with it. I would have been so disappointed if the quality wasn't good for the price, but it was crispy and delicious when eaten warm.

Of course, you know how it is at places like this? Don't expect good value for money. The portion sizes are small for the price, but the taste was decent enough to overlook it.

From above, I could see young people hitting on each other, and I got to people-watch for a long time. I was originally planning to go there first and then head to another hot bar called Fisherman's around dawn,

but women get free passes, while ten black-haired guys were waiting in line. I waited for about five minutes, got sweaty and hot, and gave up and went somewhere else.

Fisherman's has a club pub vibe, so if you like that kind of atmosphere, give it a try! Anyway, I entered before sunset and took some pictures around sunset and after sunset to show you all.

Around Sunset

This is after sunset. As expected of a Busan hot spot, there was barely any space to step, so I'm glad I came early.

You have to be good at quickly going in and out of places like this, and I'm usually quick to sense things, so I always benefit from it.

There were many handsome men and beautiful women, couples, and a few families. Since the space is small, it can be awkward to sit close to each other.

It would be really fun to sing along and do a group sing-along to the music, but the atmosphere wasn't like that, which was a little disappointing.

I like to have a blast when I'm having fun! Haha!

The week I went, Haha was supposed to be a guest performer! I was so disappointed that I didn't get to see him.

If my trip to Busan had included the weekend, I definitely would have seen him. Hehe! I'll also mention this in case anyone is planning to hit on people:

From above, you can usually see guys trying to pick up girls. But the women are all watching, pretending not to notice. 'Oh, that guy from that table went over to talk to her?'

They see everything, like when they get rejected and come back. So, if you're planning to pick someone up, be very careful. Here's a tip!

Even I, as a guy, have a bit of an eye for it. I could hear people whispering about which guy at which table was going to try to pick someone up, wondering if they'd succeed or not. It was nosy, but it reminded me of when I was younger.

I came here first, and then went to a great izakaya for the second round. Then, I was planning to go to Fisherman's for the third round, but I gave up and came back here later in the evening to hang out a bit more. Before going back to my accommodation, I ate ice cream and took a walk along Gwanganli Beach before going to bed around dawn.

I'll post about the izakaya in my next post, so please wait a little bit.

It's a really good restaurant, and I wanted to recommend it. Hehe! I'll write about it in detail in my next post. I'll end today's post here.

If you're planning a trip to Busan and want to experience the atmosphere, are curious about the hot spots,

or want to check out the accessory shops or Milrak The Market during the day, I think it's worth a visit.

The forecast didn't predict a lot of rain, but it's been drizzling all day.

Everyone has worked hard this week. I hope you have a happy and wonderful weekend. I'll be on my way now. Goodbye.

Have a good night, everyone! Bye!

Inspired by Jayson Tatum's visit last month, I decided to check out the NBA Seongsu Flagship Store to pick up some clothes for fall. I was invited by the NBA brand, so I happily visited Seongsu after a long time. Seongsu is constantly hosting pop-up stores from various brands and is densely packed with trend-leading brands.

Wandering along Yeonmujang-gil, I easily found the NBA Seongsu Flagship Store.

Even in Seongsu's Yeonmujang-gil, a haven for pop-up stores, the gleaming silver entrance is quite hip. The highlight reel of Jayson Tatum's visit, displayed near the entrance, made it clear that this space is genuinely committed to capturing the essence of the NBA.

Upon entering, I was greeted by outfits that perfectly captured the street vibe for fall. The classic combination of jeans and a hoodie is definitely a staple of street fashion. As someone who works with clothing materials, I pay close attention to fabric quality, and I must say, the fabrics here felt really good.

The hoodies and outerwear, reminiscent of those often seen on American college campuses, captured the retro feel quite well.

Trying on a jacket that blended old-school design with a modern sensibility made me feel pretty stylish.

The mirrors in the photo zone elongated my legs, making me look taller and feel like an NBA player. These fun photo zones added to the enjoyment of exploring the store.

I was drawn to the replica-style shirts and the hoodies that incorporated each team's colors in a streetwear-inspired way. The overall generous sizing made them look comfortable to wear. They seemed great for activity, and the well-colored prints added a nice touch, making the clothes really appealing.

There was a wide variety of clothing that captured both classic design and streetwear sensibilities, making it hard to choose what to buy.

They didn't miss the details, like printing each team's logo on the sleeves to add a point. As someone who works with clothing prints, I tend to scrutinize these things, and the print quality was excellent. I appreciated how the prints, faithfully representing each team's logo, really captured the NBA spirit.

I think this attention to detail is part of the unique aesthetic of the NBA brand.

The shoes and various merchandise in the corner on the first floor were also quite nice. The suede shoes had great colors and a charming design, making me want to buy them. The sporty feel and the sleek, well-defined outsole design were especially appealing.

A variety of hats from each team were on display. The Celtics hat had a very well-finished logo design. The white Warriors hat and Lakers hat also looked clean and appealing. There were designs featuring the NBA team logos, as well as simple designs with just the team name, making them easy to wear even for those not deeply familiar with the NBA.

The real highlight of this place is the basement floor.

Finished with a wood-tone interior, this area had the atmosphere of a real NBA player locker room. The scarves with championship banner vibes looked cool, and a variety of jackets and hoodies were displayed for the fall and winter seasons.

I tried on a jacket with applique embroidery on the back.

Wearing clothing that perfectly captured the feel of the jackets players wore when entering the court during NBA broadcasts in the 80s and 90s made me feel like an NBA player myself.

The fitting rooms were decorated to feel like real locker rooms. The combination of luxurious sofas and display cases, reminiscent of 80s decor, seemed to showcase the NBA brand's heritage.

I also found the planning that printed the team names in Korean to be innovative and fun. As K-culture is so popular, I think this is a design that foreigners can also enjoy. And the point that I really liked was the old TV that evoked childhood nostalgia.

The display of classic moments from when I first started watching the NBA on an old-style TV was a detail that showed the NBA Seongsu Flagship Store's interior designers and planners were truly passionate about basketball.

After looking around the store for a while, I bought a Lakers logo hoodie and left the store.

The store isn't that big, but it's packed with fun content and great outfits that could easily be called a flagship store.

Thanks to the invitation from the NBA brand, I had a great time enjoying the sights.

You can access the official NBA brand Instagram by scanning the QR code on the visit card.

They are also running a Google review event on-site, so don't miss out if you visit.

I took a trip to Seongsu after a long time, and I really enjoyed exploring the NBA Seongsu Flagship Store.

As a fan of North American sports, I had a nostalgia for spaces like this, and I was able to fully experience that nostalgia after a long time.

It was a space that captured both the authentic NBA feel and trendy street sensibilities, making shopping enjoyable.

You can also purchase various styles from the NBA brand at Hanse MK's official online mall.

Especially when it's made with blue crabs from Yeonpyeong Island. These crabs are packed with meat and roe, making them so special that you'll never want to eat any other *gejang* again.

If you live near Gajeo-dong, Seo-gu, Incheon, you absolutely have to try Jangpumge's *ganjang gejang*.

You'll regret it if you don't! The taste and quality of their *gejang* are guaranteed.

Jangpumge (feat. Crabs Embracing Flavor)

Jangpumge is a *ganjang gejang* specialty restaurant that's already well-known in Gajeo-dong, Incheon.

They offer in-store pickup and nationwide delivery, so everyone can enjoy their delicious crabs!

With the holidays approaching, Jangpumge offers a special *bojagi* (wrapping cloth) packaging service and free squid kimchi when you pick up your order. The *bojagi* packaging is so elegant and makes it the perfect gift. People who receive it will be impressed by its sophistication.

If you're picking up your order in person or if there are other customers waiting, they have a neat and comfortable waiting area.

If you're packaging or shipping the *gejang*, especially during warmer weather, proper cold packaging is essential. If the travel time is a bit longer, you can choose between a basic cooler bag or an icebox. They also offer on-site delivery requests. Even if you live far away, you can enjoy the taste of Jangpumge through delivery.

Jangpumge specializes in dishes marinated in soy sauce. They offer crabs in various sizes, and you can choose between female and male crabs. The condition and quality of the crabs are incredibly important, but the flavor of the soy sauce marinade makes a big difference. Jangpumge's soy sauce is one of the best I've ever tasted.

It's perfectly salty with a slight hint of spice to cut through any richness, and the deep, savory flavor is so delicious. It's a place where you can really enjoy the food.

*Ganjang gejang* is often called a "rice thief" because you can easily empty a bowl of rice by mixing it with the crab roe and meat.

*Ganjang gejang* originated in the Joseon Dynasty as a way to preserve crabs by marinating them in soy sauce. It was created to enjoy the fresh taste of the sea for a longer period, but now it's become a special delicacy.

Jangpumge's *ganjang gejang* only uses the highest quality crabs caught in Yeonpyeong Island. Yeonpyeong crabs are known for their large size, meaty texture, and abundant roe. That's why Jangpumge's *ganjang gejang* has a unique and deep flavor that can't be compared to others.

At Jangpumge, the crabs are marinated in soy sauce after you order. So, you can't eat it right away. It needs to be aged for at least three days for the soy sauce and crab to blend properly and create the best flavor.

Those three days felt so long, but I waited for the best taste!

There were three plump crabs in the package. You can tell just by looking at them, even without opening the shells, that they are large and full of meat and roe.

Another great thing is the leftover soy sauce. After eating the crabs, you can boil the remaining soy sauce once and reuse it. You can use this soy sauce to make other dishes. It can be used for making egg over rice, various spicy vegetable dishes, or braised dishes with eggs, potatoes, or tofu.

The leftover soy sauce is not just a simple seasoning; it's a secret ingredient that creates another rice thief.

When you open the crab shell, you'll be amazed by the roe of the female crab. Be sure to remove the sand sac and gills to enjoy the true taste of the *ganjang gejang*. Once you try it prepared this way, you won't easily think of other *ganjang gejangs*.

When I first removed the shell, I was delighted by the sight of the roe. I've never seen *ganjang gejang* so full and beautiful before.

Once cleaned, the crab looks so great, it just makes me smile!

It looks so delicious that it almost feels like a waste to eat it. But you can't not eat it, right? Squeezing the body reveals that it's 100% full of meat. It's incredible!

Putting the crab meat on top of hot white rice really makes you understand why it's called a rice thief. It's so delicious to eat it like this, and it's also great wrapped in seaweed for a nutty flavor.

Seeing the well-aged crab roe that doesn't drip and the sticky roe filling every crevice automatically brings admiration. Scraping the roe from the shell and mixing it with rice is pure honey. The rich flavor that fills your mouth with every spoonful is something I still remember. I realized that this is a truly perfect *ganjang gejang*.

We often worry about what gifts to give during holidays like Thanksgiving or Lunar New Year. Jangpumge's *ganjang gejang* is a much more special and memorable choice than a standard gift set.

If you pick it up directly from the store, they offer elegant *bojagi* packaging, making it perfect for gifts.

Jangpumge's Yeonpyeong Island *ganjang gejang*, which you can taste in Gajeo-dong, Incheon, is a highly satisfying *ganjang gejang*. From the meaty crab to the deep, rich soy sauce marinade and luxurious packaging, there's nothing to fault.

It's great for personal consumption and a perfect holiday gift. I confidently recommend it to anyone who loves *ganjang gejang*.

Highly recommended to try if you like Ganjang Gejang!

DITA: Beyond Simple Eyewear, a Work of Art.

DITA is a brand that started with the philosophy of 'selling ideas about eyewear, not just eyewear itself.' Since its inception in 1995, it has established its own unique design language rather than following trends. Instead of flashy logos, it proves its value through the highest quality materials and flawless craftsmanship.

The difference is immediately apparent when you hold a pair of DITA glasses. The substantial yet surprisingly comfortable fit is only possible with the highest grade titanium and acetate. The intricate diamond patterns etched throughout the frame and the meticulousness of designing even the smallest screws are akin to a work of art completed by skilled Japanese artisans over several months. These details come together to create DITA's solid and masculine aura. This is the primary reason I confidently recommend DITA to men in their 50s. The understated yet palpable presence is the hallmark of true class.

The Expertise to Match the Finest Frames

No matter how magnificent a work is, its value diminishes without the touch of an expert who truly understands and handles it. This is especially true for high-end eyewear like DITA. I've seen too many unfortunate cases where people purchase frames worth millions of won, only to have them slide down their faces because they don't fit properly, or end up abandoned in a drawer due to dizzying lenses.

Atelier Genz in Samseong-dong believes that this is where our role begins. We're not just a place that sells frames. Through precise fittings that consider your face shape, nose bridge height, ear position, and even lifestyle, we fully realize the optimal wearing experience that DITA eyewear offers. Furthermore, top-quality lenses designed based on accurate eye examinations by professional optometrists provide a clear and comfortable vision, as if they were your original eyes. Just as the best car needs the best engine, the finest frames must be accompanied by the best lenses and fitting.

A Customer Finds Their 'Life Glasses' with Atelier Genz

Recently, a customer in his late 50s visited us. He had been eyeing DITA's steady-selling model for a long time, but was carefully considering it due to the high price. He also had significant discomfort with his existing progressive lenses, so he had both expectations and concerns about new glasses.

We had an in-depth conversation about the customer's lifestyle and professional characteristics. We identified that he looked at documents a lot and that a trustworthy impression was important because of frequent external meetings. Through precise eye examinations, we accurately diagnosed the problems with his existing lenses and recommended the optimal lenses to solve them. Afterward, we went through a fitting process to adjust the frame to the customer's facial structure in 0.1mm increments. The customer, after wearing the glasses, said, "These are the most comfortable and clearest glasses I've ever had," expressing genuine satisfaction. It was a moment when the class of DITA eyewear and the technical expertise of Atelier Genz came together to complete his 'life glasses.'

The Choice for Your Most Brilliant Moments

Eyeglasses are at the center of your face, accompanying you in every moment. That's why careful selection is necessary. DITA is a brand with timeless value, and Atelier Genz is a space that perfectly realizes that value on your face.

Beyond simply owning expensive glasses, experience owning the best brand in a way that is most uniquely you. We invite you to visit Atelier Genz in Samseong-dong to find the one pair of glasses that will elevate your style. Please feel free to visit us anytime and tell us your story. We will be with you on the journey to make the best choice.

Atelier Genz Gangnam Samseong Branch

Address: 1st Floor, 23 Bongeunsa-ro 68-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul

More than just cafes and restaurants, Seongsu is a trendy place where exhibitions and performances blend together, offering diverse content that stimulates cultural sensibilities.

Every time I visit Seongsu, I encounter unique spaces and experiences, but this time was truly special. I had the opportunity to attend LUSH's pop-up theater performance, 'The Unnamed Actor's Bathroom,' hosted by the handmade cosmetics brand LUSH, at their Seongsu pop-up store.

Instead of just shopping or trying out products, the experimental transformation of the store into an artistic stage was impressive.

The Birth of the Mind Shower Campaign and the Performance

This performance is the second project of LUSH's ongoing 'LUSH YOUR MIND' campaign. To convey the message that you can wash away both body and mind and start anew, LUSH operated a special restroom booth called 'Fresh Washroom' at the DMZ Peace Train Music Festival in June and the Incheon Pentaport Rock Festival in August.

From September to November, LUSH opened a pop-up theater with its unique sensibility at the LUSH pop-up store in the heart of Seongsu. The biggest feature is that it's an open stage where anyone can participate.

Performance Information

Location: LUSH Seongsu, 58-1 Yeonmujang-gil, Seongdong-gu, Seoul

Dates: September 6, 2025 - November 15, 2025

September: Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays at 6 PM and 8 PM

October - November: Fridays and Saturdays at 6 PM and 8 PM

There's no need for special reservations or invitations; anyone can freely watch the performance when the time comes. Finding a performance unexpectedly during a Seongsu outing is part of its pop-up charm.

Performance Story

At the center of the story is an unknown actor who has failed 99 auditions. He faces an old bathtub, a broken showerhead, and imaginary beings like bubbles in the very private space of a bathroom.

The bathroom friends comfort him, saying, 'If you wash it away, you can start again.' The performance conveys the weight of failure and frustration to the audience through a production that transcends reality and fantasy.

But at the same time, it shows the power and hope to try again, giving the audience the feeling of washing away their own worries. In the final scene, the actor shouts with the audience:

'Let's wash. Let's wash our minds. Washing is the answer.'

It was a short but powerful line that gave me great comfort at that moment.

The Power of the 'Let's Wash' Song

The highlight of this performance is definitely the 'Let's Wash' song. Thanks to the cheerful melody and repetitive lyrics, I was able to sing along after listening to it a few times.

'Let's wash, let's wash, let's wash our minds. Let's wash, let's wash, let's start again.' The moment the actor and the audience sang together, the space became not just a stage but a healing place where everyone was connected.

The Allure of the Experience

Immersive Performance

The actors came right up to the audience to tell their stories, making it feel like a real experience rather than just a performance.

Special Effects

The soap bubbles falling from the sky created an atmosphere like snow falling, and everyone in the audience cheered and enjoyed it.

Scent and Sensation

LUSH's unique subtle scent permeated the performance, making it a five-sense experience that stimulated even the sense of smell.

It was truly unique in that it was not just a performance to watch, but one to feel and experience directly.

LUSH Store Experience

LUSH stores are not just spaces for selling cosmetics, but are designed to allow you to experience the brand's philosophy and senses with all five senses.

When you enter the store, you are greeted by a unique and rich fragrance, and various bath bombs and soaps are displayed in a way that resembles fruits or desserts, catching your eye.

Experience zones are provided so that customers can touch and smell the products before purchasing them. In addition, a sink is installed on one side of the store, and a demonstration area is operated where you can actually try out foam or shampoo with the guidance of an employee.

Solid shampoo bars and toothpastes with minimal packaging and eco-friendly packaging lines are also eye-catching, reflecting LUSH's commitment to ethical consumption and environmental sustainability. Overall, the LUSH store feels like a small experiential gallery where fragrance, color, and experience come together, beyond a shopping space.

Visitor Review Event

LUSH is also running a fun event in conjunction with the pop-up theater. If you search for 'LUSH Seongsu Pop-up Theater' on Naver Map after the show and leave a visitor review, you will receive a random LUSH soap. I also participated in the review event on the spot immediately after watching the show.

It was impressive to see other audience members writing reviews together while waiting in line. Thanks to the event, the memories of the performance remained longer. If you plan to visit, be sure to save it (add it to your favorites) on Naver Map in advance. It makes it much more convenient to participate in the event.

I usually went to Seongsu mainly for cafes or exhibitions, but thanks to this performance, I discovered another charm. In particular, the message that 'It's okay to fail. We can always wash it away and start again' went beyond simple comfort and gave me strength in my daily life.

Everyone has tiring and difficult moments these days, and I think it would be very meaningful to gain the courage to wash away your worries and try again through such a performance. It was a performance I happened to find during a Seongsu outing, but that made it even more special, and I hope there will be more open performances like this in the future.

I highly recommend LUSH Pop-up Theater's 'The Unnamed Actor's Bathroom' to those looking for a weekend outing, date spot, or free performance in Seoul. The emotion of the performance itself is great, but it will be an unforgettable memory in harmony with the free atmosphere of Seongsu. If you are looking for a new cultural experience in Seongsu this fall, be sure to visit.

I heard that a huge 800-pyeong (approximately 28,444 sq ft) Daiso has opened in Gumi. My husband kept wanting to go, so we decided to visit it while we were out.

???? Daiso Emart Donggumi Branch ????

Address: 2nd Floor, 23 Igyebok-ro, Gumi-si

Operating Hours: 10:00 ~ 22:00

Closed every 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month

Parking available (1 hour free for purchases over 10,000 won)

We arrived around 5:30 PM! We were worried it would be too crowded, but there were plenty of parking spaces and it was quite relaxed.

Enter through the entrance on the 1st floor, and the store is on the 2nd floor.

There's a restroom right at the entrance of the store, so I went there first since I knew we'd be looking around for a while (๑'ᵕ'๑)⸝*

You can't bring Emart shopping carts into the Daiso at Emart Donggumi, so if you've already been grocery shopping, you'll need to leave your cart outside.

If you're planning on doing both grocery shopping and visiting Daiso, it's best to go to Daiso first!

If you're only visiting Daiso, you don't need to bring an Emart cart from the 1st floor ๑•‿•๑

Since I'm still a beginner blogger, I forgot to take a picture of the Daiso right when we arrived and took it after we paid and came out, haha.

As soon as you go up to the 2nd floor on the escalator, you'll see Daiso right away, so no need to worry!

On the left as you enter, there are Daiso shopping baskets of all kinds, so grab one that you need › ᴗ ‹⋆

Once you enter, it's really huge... My husband and I wanted to see everything, so we started browsing from the very beginning. There's a wide variety of cosmetics-related products when you walk in, it almost felt like I was in Olive Young...

Is this really Daiso? (๑╹ᆺ╹)

I've been looking at hair essences since my hair has been damaged lately, and I found a no-wash treatment, so I bought it for 5,000 won!

After passing the cosmetics corner, they also sold a variety of stationery, so I bought two sheets of stickers to decorate my ultrasound photos ㅎㅎ

And then, there was the jelly and snack corner that stopped us in our tracks for a while... There were so many delicious-looking things, it was the category we bought the most from (๑>ᴗ<๑)

There are so many different kinds, I can't capture them all in the pictures! Further inside, there's a long kitchenware corner. I bought a kimchi container to put ribs in for the holidays!

The kimchi containers were different sizes but the same price, so I bought the biggest one.

I put all the items I bought in there and carried it around, which was really convenient ✪‿✪

If you're planning on buying a kimchi container, keep this in mind!

We bought 11 items and paid directly at the self-checkout corner.

We also got an error alarm, and it was going off everywhere, but the staff were there to quickly resolve it ◝(⁰▿⁰)◜

We looked around for about an hour, and we needed the receipt to pay for parking!

When you get the receipt like this, you need the barcode at the bottom!

Make sure to bring it with you, and next to it, you can see the kimchi container we packed everything into ㅎㅎ

After you finish buying items at Daiso and come out, there's a parking kiosk!

There's one at the main entrance on the 1st floor, but we paid at this one ㅎㅎ

If there are a lot of people, it might be better to use the main entrance on the 1st floor.

When you touch the screen, you'll need to enter your car number.

After you enter your car number, this screen will appear! We were there for exactly an hour, it seems.

We looked around quickly at the end, but it takes this long to see everything ㅎㅎ

If you didn't buy 10,000 won worth of items, you'd have to pay 6,000 won •̆ . •̆

You need to scan the barcode for payment.

You need to put it in the Emart receipt slot below!

When I tried, it kept giving me an error ㅠㅠ

It kept giving me an error because it seemed to be reading both at the same time.

My husband folded the perforated line and inserted only the barcode at the very bottom.

It was paid in 1 second... ^^

If it doesn't work well, try folding the paper like we did!

The receipt was printed, and it was automatically paid ㅎㅎ

You have 30 minutes, so finish up and exit!

That was my review of Daiso at Emart Donggumi ◡( ╹◡╹ )◡

Isn't choosing a wedding band one of the most exciting parts of wedding planning?

We went on a Jongno wedding band tour this time and looked around at various brands.

I'd like to share my review of the most impressive place we decided on!

​

Amor Jewelry, Hyosung Jewelry City Branch

​

Location

Based on the subway station, it's located on the first basement floor of Hyosung Jewelry City, closest to Exit 1 of Jongno 5-ga Station.

It's easy to find No. 1008 if you go down one floor by escalator.

​

If you visit by car, you can park in the building's underground parking lot.

Up to 3 hours of parking support is available, so it's good to visit by car.

There are plenty of things to see and eat nearby, such as Gwangjang Market and Ikseon-dong Hanok Street.

It was nice to visit them together.

​

The staff was also friendly, and the space was pleasant as a premium lounge.

It was set up for easy browsing while receiving consultations.

​

Various events can be found from the entrance.

It was a place where you could get a wedding band in a good mood.

​

Unlike other places, it is not operated in partnership with a wedding cafe.

The price is reasonable due to the partnership fee.

You can get products with satisfactory design and quality at wholesale prices.

It is a Jongno wedding band store with many reviews from real customers.

​

Referral Code Event

In particular, there is a referral code event.

If you enter the referral code below in the request and make a reservation on Naver,

​

They recommend designs according to your desired style.

I was able to comfortably look around and try it on.

​

These days, many people also wear 3-part diamond wedding rings.

​

There were so many pretty designs that I was able to try them on.

​

From sophisticated and fancy styles, classic and luxurious styles, to trendy styles.

It has a variety of styles that are good to wear regardless of personal preference.

​

I also noticed a simple but sparkling wedding ring that is good for everyday wear.

Rings look different when you just look at them and when you wear them, but in the premium lounge,

I was able to easily compare and try them on at my leisure, making the selection easier.

​

Simple and subtle wedding bands are also consistently popular.

​

While touring several places on the Jongno Wedding Band Tour,

Amor Jewelry was satisfactory in terms of design, price, and friendly consultation.

I recommend it to soon-to-be-married couples who are wondering where to get their wedding rings!

The playful vibe emanating from the entrance was truly energizing! Flea, Emmy, and Kups greeted visitors as if they had just landed in Seongsu via paragliding.

PGOG pop-up store view, held on the 1st floor and basement of Separates, 53 Seoul Forest Street.

???? Claynosaurz – Flea

While still unfamiliar to many in Korea, Claynosaurz is a globally popular NFT project based on the Solana blockchain, boasting approximately 380,000 fans on Instagram alone.

Flea, the representative character, is known for his cute and adventurous charm, which helps expand the brand's narrative.

This Seoul pop-up was their first opportunity to gauge the Korean market's reaction. The enthusiastic cheers from children and the joyful responses from parents indicated a successful start.

Moreover, it resonated perfectly with the colorful aesthetics, community engagement, and meme culture favored by Gen Z.

They plan to build a Korean fan base through various forms such as animation, games, and merchandise in the future.

???? Magic Eden – Emmy

The second main character is Emmy, from the Magic Eden wallet.

The Magic Eden Wallet (ME Wallet) supports various chains, including Solana, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Polygon, and is a multi-functional wallet capable of NFT transactions and cross-chain asset exchanges.

This pop-up provided visitors unfamiliar with blockchain the opportunity to download the app and experience ME tokens firsthand. Creating a real-world Web3 experience beyond a simple exhibition was truly impressive.

☕️ Raposa Coffee – Kups

Lastly, there's the fox character Kups, from Raposa Coffee's NFT collection.

They are building a fandom that combines art, characters, and community, going beyond simply being a coffee brand.

Notably, Kups NFT staking offers BEANS token rewards, providing tangible benefits like discounts, rewards, and invitations to offline events. Currently, the Kups NFT price is around $56.71. This model of linking NFTs with real-world benefits aligns well with current trends.

This pop-up also featured the first-ever Raposa Coffee tasting in Korea, offering a variety of options, including dark roast, flat white, caramel latte, Panama Geisha, and cold brew tonic. The emphasis on vegan options and clean ingredients was also a perfect fit for Gen Z tastes. The atmosphere was filled with a sophisticated vibe reminiscent of an overseas café.

✨ In Conclusion

Despite its short run of just six days, the PGOG pop-up store was a special experience, seamlessly blending global character IPs, blockchain wallets, and coffee brands.

I hope to continue exploring more fun and innovative ventures with these wonderful teams in the future.

???? See you at another amazing location next time!

TAKA, selling escapes on the Juklim Coast!

As I approached the coastal road, TAKA Sound Bar came into view.

The *둠칫둠칫* DJing on a truck was eye-catching.

It was a bit surprising at first, but I found it fun.

This small pop-up, held with the gentle sound of waves, felt like a mini-festival where Tongyeong's local culture and art intersected.

The Second Voyage on the Tongyeong Coast

This event is called 'Oin Hanghae' (五人航海), meaning 'Voyage of Five People.'

It's a project where five artists continue a new voyage through their individual experiences and perspectives.

This is said to be their second journey.

Artists and brands from various fields, from stained glass to illustration, fashion, music, and yoga,

gathered and shared their stories against the backdrop of Tongyeong.

Along with Oin Hanghae, there are also Tongyeong-based local crafts.

Cloud n Rose, a local project team based in Tongyeong, participated.

They attempted a cultural combination that didn't exist before.

Local brands such as 'Gwangdo Makgeolli,' 'Cafe Arce,' 'Sujan Yoga,' 'Eung-Go Live Drawing,' and 'Three Sisters Bandazzi' also participated, adding their unique Tongyeong colors.

The philosophy of pursuing 'things with the warmth of hands' and 'things that retain value over time' is evident everywhere.

The romantic scenery and music of Juklim Beach.

I think Juklim Coastal Road is a walking path favored by locals more than tourists.

So, the DJing sound flowing from a truck on that quiet coast was a bit unfamiliar at first.

The beats of DJ CHUNSAM, NIGAGARA, and special guest SGB vibrated the coastal air,

and the scene of the sea and music mixing together was truly a sensational moment that appeared out of nowhere in Tongyeong.

The harmony of Tongyeong's tradition and modern sensibility.

It was interesting to see that the romantic sentiment of the city of Tongyeong could be reinterpreted in this way through music and art.

The addition of *nubi*, lacquer, and traditional crafts made me think that this project, closely tied to the original local culture, is rare among Gyeongnam pop-up events.

I was thinking of buying the room spray from Cafe Arce in Tongyeong, which I've been to, but I wished the size was a bit smaller.

A space to fully enjoy the current season, weather, sea, music, and alcohol.

Although it's the Juklim TAKA Sound Bar, which sells escapes,

it was transformed into a space for a pop-up, so people of all ages were interested and entered.

This place is filled with unfamiliar but wonderful people from Tongyeong.

I'm not good at drinking, but I was curious about the pop-up store,

so I took a step into TAKA Sound Bar.

Next time, I want to try at least a non-alcoholic drink, haha.

Calvin Glow's stained glass from Busan.

The atmosphere is very different from the tulip kitchen stained glass lamp in my house.

It's a strong and attractive piece.

Ah, so wonderful_ I wanted Calvin Glow

Perhaps I didn't smell like a Tongyeong local at all.

The TAKA owner, who kindly greeted us, gave us a scarf, bandana, or handkerchief with a cat on it as a gift!

It's a brand called S G B Sinagawa Blues,

and it seems like their address is in Gimhae. The printing is unique.

Then, I came to Jinju and wore it at a cafe.

I saw the owner of Sinagawa Blues at the same cafe, and I almost acted like I knew them.

Isn't this an attractive review that you can only feel at a local pop-up store?

I got an upcycling brand, Zope!

It's a local brand from Busan, and they were diligently making items at the pop-up site.

I envy their golden hands.

I purchased a small item from Zope!

It was a brown color that suits autumn, with blue stitching resembling the Tongyeong sea as a point.

I'm using it as a business card holder that fits perfectly in my hand,

and I hope everyone thinks I look sophisticated.

TAKA Sound Bar

Highly recommend it as a date spot in Juklim~

The TAKA Sound Bar, where the event was held,

is introduced as a space where you can enjoy the sea with sparkling sunlight during the day

and live music under soft lighting at night.

It's perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee while facing the sea right in front of you

or sharing a late-night cocktail with your lover.

So, it's good to go alone, but I think the atmosphere would be great for a date in Juklim enjoyed by two people.

I visited for the first time thanks to the pop-up event,

but it's a place I definitely want to visit again at my leisure next time.

I hope that Tongyeong's local artists and brands will continue to collaborate here.

I have a wish to enjoy the pop-up series as a new wave in Tongyeong.

Tongyeong Local, a Voyage Connected by Art

Like the name 'Oin Hanghae,'

this pop-up not only showcased sales and exhibitions

but was also like a new voyage for local culture.

The fact that there is a space like 'TAKA Sound Bar' at the center of it

means that Tongyeong is not only a tourist destination but also a 'living cultural city'

where citizens naturally gather, create, and visit,

which is something to be truly grateful for.

A pop-up store created together by artists, brands,

and people who enjoy it.

The light of the sea, the music, and the warmth of the fingertips,

though short, remain in my memory for a long time.

The next voyage is said to continue in Seongsu, Seoul,

so I'm even more looking forward to the future of Oin Hanghae and TAKA Sound Bar!

Even when I wear makeup, it flakes and my skin keeps peeling, so my makeup doesn't apply properly.

So, I decided to check my basic skincare routine and stopped by Olive Young.

I spent a long time 고민 (agonizing/pondering) in the essence section.

After all, essence is a really important item in the basic skincare stage.

It's applied after toner, so it plays a role in properly supplying nutrients and moisture to the skin.

While looking at various Olive Young essence products, Mixsoon's Bean Essence caught my eye.

The fermented soybean ingredients sounded new, and the fact that it could take care of both moisture and exfoliation at the same time perfectly matched my concerns, so I bought it right away.

The Secret of 72-Hour Low-Temperature Fermentation

When I first received the Olive Young Essence Bean Essence and read the product description, it said it was made with a 72-hour low-temperature fermentation method.

Frankly, I've heard the keyword 'fermentation' a lot in cosmetics, but it was the first time I'd heard of fermenting slowly at a low temperature for 72 hours.

They say that fermenting for such a long time concentrates the nutrients in the beans and makes them easier for the skin to absorb.

In fact, when I used it, I really felt a deep sense of nourishment.

From the moment I applied it to my skin, it felt like it was filling from the inside out, and there was definitely that feeling.

In dry weather like these days, I think this deep moisturizing feeling is really necessary.

Applying it consistently in the morning and evening, I noticed that my skin didn't feel as tight as before, and the time it stayed moisturized was longer.

A Natto-Like Texture That's Refreshing?

I was really surprised when I first pressed the pump and put it on my hand.

It had a sticky, viscous texture like natto.

For a moment, I thought, 'Isn't this too heavy and sticky?' but when I actually applied it to my face, it was a complete 반전 (unexpected twist).

At first, it feels viscous, so it feels like you're spreading it slowly, but when it touches your skin, it's surprisingly absorbed and leaves no stickiness at all.

Rather, the absorption is fast and the finish is refreshing, so it was really good to use in the morning.

After applying the Olive Young Essence, when I applied the next step cream, it layered cleanly without clumping, making my skincare routine much more pleasant.

The concentrated nourishment is the same, but the feeling of use is light, and I think that's the biggest advantage of the Bean Essence.

Solve Exfoliation with Olive Young Essence at Once

Another reason I chose this product was that it contained AHA ingredients.

My skin has been dry lately and I've been worried about dead skin cells.

I was worried about irritation from using scrubs or peeling products separately, but if I left the dead skin cells alone, my makeup would flake and my skin tone would look dull.

The Bean Essence contains AHA ingredients, so I loved that I could naturally care for sebum and dead skin cells while using it every day.

In fact, after using it for about two weeks, my skin texture felt much softer and smoother.

When I put on makeup, the foundation applied much better, and I felt like my face was a tone brighter.

I don't have to use a separate exfoliation product, so my skincare has become much simpler.

Olive Young Essence, Safe to Use Even on Sensitive Skin

I was worried that products containing exfoliating ingredients like AHA could be irritating, but the Bean Essence is really mild.

The product description said that it's a mild essence that can be used even by infants and mothers.

My skin tends to be sensitive during seasonal changes, but I didn't have any irritation reactions like stinging or redness while using this product.

Rather, it felt like my skin was soothed and healthier.

I can use it every morning and evening without 부담 (feeling burdened/pressure), and I can apply it with confidence even on days when my skin condition is not good, so I was really satisfied.

It's mild but the effect is definite, so I think it's a product that even people with sensitive skin can try.

Mixsoon Bean Essence, Enshrined as My Skincare Staple

It's been about a month since I started using the Bean Essence, and I can definitely feel the difference in my skin.

When I wake up in the morning, my skin doesn't feel sagging or dry, and it stays moisturized all day long.

Dead skin cells hardly appear, so the stress when doing makeup has decreased.

Above all, I like that my skin texture is smooth and the glow is alive, making my face look bright overall.

I heard that it's Mixsoon's main hero essence, and I think I know why now.

It's really perfect as a basic staple.

If you're looking for Olive Young Essence, especially if you want to take care of both moisture and exfoliation at the same time, I highly recommend the Bean Essence.

The volume is generous for the price and the effect is definite, so I don't think it will be missing from my skincare routine for a while!

It's already past mid-October!

Estée Lauder Companies' annual Breast Cancer Campaign is taking place this year in Seongsu-dong, a trendy neighborhood, with the Pink Ribbon Seongsu Pop-Up!

What is the Estée Lauder Pink Ribbon Breast Cancer Campaign?

Since 1992, when Evelyn H. Lauder co-created the Pink Ribbon and launched the Breast Cancer Campaign, Estée Lauder Companies has been working for over 30 years to end breast cancer and improve women's health around the world.

In Korea, more than 30,000 people are diagnosed with breast cancer every year. The Breast Cancer Campaign is held every October to raise awareness among women about accurate information about breast cancer, the importance of self-exams, and to encourage them to take action!

The Estée Lauder Breast Cancer Campaign has been ongoing for over 30 years globally and for 25 years in Korea!

As part of this year's Breast Cancer Campaign, Estée Lauder Companies Korea has opened the Pink Ribbon Seongsu Pop-Up.

Pop-Up Store Information:

October 16 (Thu) - October 19 (Sun)

(11 AM - 7 PM)

I was invited to the pre-opening day! I received a commemorative badge and a stamp mission sheet upon entry.

Upon entering, you'll immediately see a large pink ribbon. It's a photo zone, but if you look at the wall behind it, you'll find useful information about breast cancer, as well as information about Estée Lauder Companies' Breast Cancer Campaign.

You can learn detailed information about breast cancer that you weren't aware of, and the campaign activities include illuminating global landmarks in pink!

In Korea, Lotte World Tower, Sebitseom, and Galleria Luxury Hall are participating in the breast cancer campaign with pink lights.

First Floor Pop-Up Zone: Breast Cancer Self-Exam Zone

There's a mirror and a monitor with self-exam instructions. Because breast cancer can be found through self-exams, self-exams are very important.

You could learn the correct self-exam method, and there was a breast model set up to check.

I should do a self-exam when I get home!

Pink Quiz Zone

The pink wall that fills one side of the room has breast cancer quizzes on the back. If you answer the quiz correctly, you can get a stamp!

It was nice to learn about breast cancer through the quiz!

You can find Pink Ribbon Limited Edition products from affiliated brands during the month of October!

Pink Ribbon Product Experience Zone

You can easily experience the Pink Ribbon Limited Edition products from affiliated brands during the month of October.

Not just Estée Lauder's Advanced Night Repair, but the Pink Bottle, which you can only see in October!

Discover the Pink Ribbon Limited Edition that makes pink lovers' hearts flutter.

If you diligently participate in the missions on the first floor and get stamps, you will receive a coin to draw a prize on the second floor.

All of the prize draw prizes are the same pink goods! It's a badge and a mini-sized eco bag.

Pink Ribbon Seongsu Pop-Up 2nd Floor Pink Drawing Zone

You can fill the wall with drawings you made yourself!

There is also an event where they draw caricatures on one side, and you can apply for a lucky draw!

Enjoy various events and enjoy drinks and finger foods that you can only taste at the Estée Lauder Companies Pink Ribbon Seongsu Pop-Up at the Pink Cafe (Limited quantity available daily).

A simple opening ceremony was held on the pre-opening day. It was great to hear the story about Estée Lauder Companies' Breast Cancer Campaign!

Estée Lauder is a brand loved by many women, and I feel the heart of Estée Lauder Companies in returning that love to women through a campaign that raises awareness of breast cancer.

I was able to learn useful information about breast cancer that I didn't know, and I was able to enjoy a specially decorated pink space where I could experience drawing and caricatures. The Estée Lauder Companies Breast Cancer Campaign Pink Ribbon Seongsu Pop-Up is truly special.

Visit Seongsu this week!

During the period of October 16 (Thu) - 19 (Sun), the Pink Ribbon Seongsu Pop-Up Store can be entered by anyone with an invitation, without prior reservation.

To get an invitation, download the breast cancer and self-exam information app 'Pink Touch' or show the campaign image from Estée Lauder Companies Korea's Instagram account.

Laka, the icon of sensory colors and gender-neutral beauty, is opening a pop-up store at The Hyundai Seoul in Yeouido this October!

Laka has been a hit wherever it goes, from its Seongsu flagship store to the pop-up at The Hyundai Daegu, gaining immense popularity!

So, I'm already excited about how amazing this upcoming pop-up at The Hyundai Seoul in Yeouido will be!

Especially since it's said to be full of special products and events that you can only find at this pop-up, shall we go explore it together in advance? ????

Laka October Pop-Up at The Hyundai Seoul

Dates: October 23rd (Thu) ~ October 29th (Wed), 2025

Location: The Hyundai Seoul B2, Iconic Pop-up Zone (Near ARKET and Casetify)

The main concept of this Laka pop-up is bringing the Color Mixology Bar concept from Laka's flagship store in Seongsu, a trendy spot.

This means you can enjoy a special experience of freely combining various colors like cocktails at The Hyundai Seoul!

It looks like it will be a popular spot in Seoul, perfect for weekend outings or a date!

The star of this pop-up ❤️

The Seongsu flagship store's best-selling Fruity Lip Glotioner is available only at The Hyundai Seoul pop-up!

In today's post, I'll be reviewing the Laka Fruity Lip Glotioner in detail. ????

Laka Fruity Lip Glotioner

Price: ₩18,000

I wasn't really familiar with the name 'Glotioner,' but apparently it's a combination of Gloss and Conditioner!

As the name suggests, it's a conditioning gloss that combines the moisturizing care of a lip balm, the vibrancy of a tint, and the shine of a lip gloss all in one.

The size is just right, and you don't need to bother with applying multiple products. The Fruity Lip Glotioner alone is enough for a perfect lip makeup look, making it a great item to lighten your makeup bag!

Another thing I liked was the applicator!

It has a slanted silicone tip designed to fit the curves of the lips, making it easy to control the amount and apply it thinly and evenly.

Thanks to this, it adheres comfortably to the lips without feeling greasy or thick.

And above all, look at this shine! ????

It contains a peptide complex, which instantly adds a plump volume to the lips and even cares for fine lines.

It's not a greasy shine, but a smooth texture and shine that makes your lips look naturally full and beautiful!

701 Dolly, 702 Melts, 703 Apri

704 Ruddy, 705 Toasty, 706 Stealer

707 Tweed, 708 Buffy, 709 Vintage, 710 Cherish

These are all the colors of the Laka Fruity Lip Glotioner.

From clear and bright colors to vivid shades, subtle muted tones, and deep colors perfect for fall and winter, there's a wide variety!

I've also prepared lip swatches of the four main colors and one color I liked. ????

701 Dolly

A lovely baby pink color that creates a Barbie doll-like pink lip.

It's delicate and adds vibrancy, making it perfect for everyday wear!

702 Melts

An apricot nude color that melts softly on the lips, perfect for those with warm skin tones to wear daily.

It's not too deep or too light, and it's a color that looks good on anyone!

703 Apri

Personally, this was my favorite color.

I thought it would be an apricot color, but it felt more like an apple. ????

It develops into a refreshing and bright clear red lip, so I recommend this color too!

705 Toasty

A warm and cozy warm rose color that reminds you of well-toasted bread.

This one would look great on those with warm autumn skin tones!

707 Tweed

A calm and sophisticated fig-colored shade.

It's a color that can add atmosphere to your makeup, and it also has a MLBB (My Lips But Better) vibe, so I can see why it's a main color!

I tried a daily makeup look with Laka Tweed, one of the main colors. ????

True to Laka's reputation as a color expert, the color is, of course, beautiful, but the plump shine is so pretty! ????

The Laka Fruity Lip Glotioner reviewed today can only be found at this The Hyundai pop-up!

In addition, the Bonding Cover Cushion and Fruity Glam Tint pop-up limited colors (Nos. 151~160) are also available only at The Hyundai Seoul pop-up, so be sure to test them out together!

And there's another reason why you absolutely have to go to this Laka pop-up store! ????

❤️ Purchase for ₩1 or more and receive 1 full-size Finger Tint (random color)

Hello!

Lately, my legs have been feeling stiff at night, and I wasn't finding my calf massager effective anymore.

Then, magically (or maybe thanks to algorithms!), I was led to an ad for this leg massager, and I impulsively bought it.

(Is this what they call civilian surveillance?!!)

Before buying it, I diligently searched for reviews, but they all seemed like ads, so I decided to write my own, honest review after using it every day for two months! ᴗ̈

First, here's proof that I bought it with my own money. 〰️

Product Information

I used to use a device that only massaged my calves, but this one advertised foot acupressure, which got me really interested.

I hesitated and searched for reviews, but they all seemed like blatant marketing.ㅠㅋㅋㅋ

I decided I had to try it myself and leave a real review, so I bought it right away.

The price was ₩149,000, and it was marked as a sale price, but it hasn't changed in two months, so I think it's just the regular price.

Product Packaging

The packaging included the product and an instruction manual inside a box, carefully wrapped in plastic.

Sometimes, I get disappointed when expensive items are poorly packaged, but I could tell they put effort into the packaging.

User Review

Design

The massager is beige and covers from the soles of the feet to the calves, so it's quite long.

It also feels a bit heavy, probably because of the battery.

So, it's a little inconvenient to walk around or do chores while using it, as advertised.

It has both Velcro and a zipper, so you can put it on and take it off in whichever way is more comfortable for you, but the Velcro is really stiff and hard to open.

I think it's designed to prevent it from coming loose during the massage, but it's so hard to open and close the Velcro that I just use the zipper.

Noise & Battery

The noise level isn't too loud, so it doesn't bother me when I use it alone in my room.

However, it does make some noise, so when I used it while talking on the phone, my boyfriend asked if I was getting a leg massage.

So, it's not completely silent...!

The battery lasts about 2-3 days when used twice a day (it automatically turns off after 20 minutes each time).

The capacity is enough for about a week of use, which is sufficient for me.

It's a bit cumbersome to have to charge each side separately, but it comes with a C-type charger, which is nice.

Heat

There are buttons for heat, intensity, mode, and power, in that order from the bottom. Even the lowest heat setting is quite hot.

I sometimes use it on bare skin and sometimes with compression stockings, but there's a risk of low-temperature burns on bare skin, so I always turn off the heat.

If you want to use the heat function, I recommend wearing something.

Intensity & Mode

There are three levels of massage intensity and mode.

To be honest, I didn't notice much of a difference between the modes.

The intensity definitely makes a difference, so I start with level 2 and then increase it to level 3 in the middle of the massage.

The machine pulsates and uses air pressure to massage, giving you the feeling of someone kneading your legs.

If you tighten the Velcro to fit your legs and then massage, it's quite refreshing. Personally, I would rate it as: human > portable massager > massage chair.

To give you a visual of how strong the massage is, my legs look like this after using it on level 3...! Haha ꉂꉂ(ᵔᗜᵔ*)

I've been using calf massagers for about 3 years, so I'm used to it, but beginners should start with the lowest mode.

One of my friends tried it and immediately turned it off, screaming that it was too painful even on level 1.ㅠㅋㅋㅋ

The foot acupressure, which I was most curious about, felt like the soles of my feet and ankles were being pressed with air pressure, which was refreshing.

However, it doesn't feel like real acupressure from a person; it's more like it's squeezing your feet to make them feel slightly refreshed...?

Overall Review

Today, I'm sharing my review after using the SpaAl Leg Massager Pro every day for two months.

I spent a pretty penny on it, so I've been using it diligently. Here's a summary of the pros and cons:

Pros: Massages the soles of the feet and Achilles tendon, sleek design, decent battery life

Cons: Expensive, foot acupressure is a bit disappointing

That's about it.

I wanted to be helpful, so I wrote this diligently. Since it's a relatively expensive product, I hope you'll consider my review and make a wise purchase! (っ⸝⸝･-･)⊃❤️

I was walking along Yeonmujang-gil in Seongsu when I came across a pop-up event at Stage 35.

It turned out to be the J.Lium pop-up, which was running for a week from October 16th to 24th.

Upon entering, I received a discount coupon that could be used online, and inside, I was free to browse the clothes.

Well... that was about it!

I see the images.

No wonder there was nobody there.

There's a reason why a pop-up store has no visitors!

More Images from the store.

Although I was born and raised in Seoul,

after getting married and becoming an 'ajumma' (married woman) in Gyeonggi Province,

I get excited every time I go to Seoul!

I recently visited Goobne Playtown, which pops up in searches for Hongdae dates, things to do with kids in Hongdae, Hongdae activities, and places to visit in Hongdae. :)

My youngest, who loves to have fun and play, absolutely loved it!!!!

It's also perfect for a date!

Opening hours: Daily 11:00 AM - 9:00 PM

Goobne Playtown is located right in the heart of Hongdae.

The entire building is dedicated to various experiences and cultural activities (like oven classes), effectively promoting the Goobne brand!

It truly lives up to its name, Playtown.

A new playground for everyone, Goobne Playtown.

The oven class on the 1st floor is very popular!!

I've failed to reserve a spot online every time ㅠㅠㅠ

It's available for ages 6 and up.

They say you get to bake Goobne chicken in the oven yourself...

I want to try it too!

Even if you don't get into the oven class, Goobne Playtown is still a fun place to visit!!

You can play board games on the 2nd floor.

They have a wide variety of board games,

and there are cozy sofas and various seating options,

so you can relax and play board games.

Oh! And the restrooms at Goobne Playtown are very clean hahaha.

I recommend the 'Skewer Master' board game.

It's simple but good for focusing on.

On the 3rd floor, there's a media art zone and a pop-up zone!

You can sit on the sofa and enjoy the media art pieces,

and have fun playing in the pop-up zone.

I took pictures in the pop-up zone,

and enjoyed dancing ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

There are also many tables on the outdoor rooftop,

but I couldn't use them because it was raining.

The colorful chairs and wall paintings are nice!

The 4th floor is a gallery space for those who love art and culture!

When I visited, there was a pottery exhibition.

Admission is free!!

It was fun to see the various pottery pieces. ^^

10:00 AM - 7:00 PM

Today, I want to introduce a very meaningful pop-up store where all sales proceeds go to artists with disabilities.

The title of this event, '25 CANVAS,' stands for 'Create A New Visual Art Sector.'

In simple terms, it's an art fair for everyone, both with and without disabilities.

It signifies the beginning of realizing social inclusion and coexistence through art.

There didn't seem to be a set route, so I explored the artworks as I felt led.

Notably, this exhibition features a barrier-free environment.

There are no major steps or obstacles, making it accessible for children, people with disabilities, and the elderly.

This makes it a great place to visit and create memories with your family!

Living my busy life, it's been a long time since I've seen art pieces or attended an art fair like this.

Considering the care and energy put into each piece, I felt a sense of healing.

This exhibition features 80 artists in total, 30 established and 50 emerging!

Beyond a simple exhibition, it aims to support the sustainable independence and expand the creative foundation of artists with disabilities through the sale of artworks.

This event isn't just happening here.

An exhibition is also taking place on the 1st floor of THISABLED's headquarters (Mapo-gu),

Offering even better accessibility, allowing you to choose your preferred location for a unique date!

Here and there, bouquets of flowers were placed beneath the artworks.

I believe these are expressions of support from family and friends.

I visited on the first day of the exhibition and only saw bouquets by a few pieces, but I imagine there will be even more displays of support as it goes on.

The exhibition doesn't stop there!

It boasts a rich program that includes collaborative works with celebrities, media art, NFT-linked exhibitions, and artist-collector exchange programs.

The collaborative works are created by teams consisting of artists with developmental disabilities and celebrities.

Celebrities participating include actors Jung Il-woo and Moon Ji-in, singer Bae Da-hae, Peppertones' Lee Jang-won, and comedians Kim Giri, Jung Tae-ho, Chae Hyo-ryung, and Kim Young-hee.

While looking around, I came across the 'Artists Just Starting to Take Off' section.

It seems to be a collection of works by the emerging artists I mentioned earlier!

After this fulfilling and meaningful experience, I even received a commemorative gift.

I can't wait to go home and check out the contents!

THISABLED, the organizer of this event, is a social venture company that began with a simple change in the word 'Disabled,' signifying disability.

They also run a YouTube channel where you can enjoy stories that humorously address disability.

The gift set includes a towel, a mug, and a hand mirror!

The towel features embroidery of a piece by artist Park Hye-shin.

It has a beautiful, classic Western style!

It's so pretty that I might be too afraid to use it for fear of staining it.

The accompanying paper introduces the various services offered by THISABLED.

A brand pioneering a new service in Korea as an agency for artists with developmental disabilities!

If you're looking for a unique date spot in Seongsu, I highly recommend this exhibition.

I heard there was a Mabinogi pop-up store in Seongsu-dong, so I decided to check it out if the on-site waiting list wasn't too long.

And I went right away!

Apparently, the Mabinogi pop-up store started yesterday, October 17th.

It's open until October 30th.

I visited on the first weekday it opened, and there weren't many people, so I only had to wait about 10 minutes before entering.

Upon entering,

I received an F&B and commemorative goods exchange ticket.

Be careful not to lose it as they won't reissue it!

The Mabinogi pop-up is set up like an exhibition, so you can look at pictures, listen to music,

and there are also photo zones.

I only played Mabinogi with my ex-boyfriend like...5 years ago?

I don't know anything about it LOL.

I just came in because it was a pop-up store,

so I quickly passed through.

With the coupon I received upon entering,

I got a cookie and a drink.

I could choose between strawberry ade and iced coffee,

and I got the strawberry ade.

They told me to mix it well, so I mixed it well~ and took a sip,

but as soon as I tasted it, it was really watery and bitter,

so I threw it all away...sigh...

And the commemorative goods seem to include things like can badges,

but I haven't actually opened it...so I don't know...

And when leaving,

they were also holding a raffle event, so I participated,

and I got an in-game coupon for 3rd place.

I don't have anyone around me who plays Mabinogi,

so if anyone needs it...? Leave a comment and I'll give the coupon code to the first person...

Today, I'm excited to share information about the pop-up stores and sales events happening at The Hyundai Seoul!

So far, we have looked at which brands are hosting pop-up stores and sales events at The Hyundai Seoul in the third week of October!

Are there any pop-up stores being held at The Hyundai Seoul this week that you are looking forward to?

I am looking forward to the AEAE brand and Paco Supply pop-up stores and plan to visit them when I have time.

If there is a pop-up store at The Hyundai Seoul in the third week of October that you are interested in, I hope you have a pleasant shopping experience this weekend while receiving pop-up benefits.

I will end the posting here.

A Nauet pop-up store filled with fun missions and unique pop-up gifts!

Nauet Pop-Up Store

The Nauet pop-up, open from October 10th to October 23rd. I visited on a weekday afternoon and was able to enter with almost no waiting time. If you make a reservation in advance, you can visit without waiting!

It wasn't sold out, so there were still dates and times available for reservations!

Upon entering, we were given mission sheets with the concept of being a 'Nauet employee for the day,' and I think the planning of this pop-up really shined!

It felt like everything was meticulously designed so that Nauet could obtain information for brand promotion, product sales, consumer preference for each product, and a successful first pop-up, while also taking care of branding and sales.

The first mission was the sculpture immediately visible after entering.

It piqued curiosity with questions like, 'Is it for lips or cheeks?!' and 'The design is unique!' which seemed to highlight the uniqueness of the Nauet brand.

Right in front, there were Nauet's lip and cheek products.

The cases, in a different shape than existing ones, were refreshing, and seeing the paper-like colors made me want to actually try the products on.

The second mission was finding hidden letters in 'On-the-Go Nauet.'

This game involved rotating several gray panels in different directions within a 30-second time limit to find the letters. Remember the location and hole directions to succeed quickly!!

My friends and I worked together and succeeded in 28 seconds! It was a close call, but fun.

The newspaper stand reminded me of Nauet's packaging and the Nauet employee who reads the newspaper every morning (that's how they explained it, haha).

A space with the concept of a conference room.

Although not in the photo, we were able to test the cheek and lip colors using transparent films with each product color applied, which was a really great idea!

When you overlap two films and hold them to your face, you get a bold color expression, and with one film, you can see a subtle color.

Being able to indirectly test the colors of the color products in this way, without actual application, was hygienic, quick for color testing, and allowed you to see color combinations right away, which was a major advantage.

The mission was to arrange magnets to match the shape below within the time limit! This was easy and simple, and took only 5 seconds.

The fourth mission was voting for your favorite look:

1. Rosy mauve
2. Peach nude
3. Chill mauve

On the day I visited, the Peach Nude look had the most votes.

The fifth mission was reaching the FINISH line within the time limit.

It was 10 seconds for one person / 5 seconds for two people. The time is very short, so you have to concentrate and hit it hard!

Finally, testing all the colors of Nauet products.

As a pop-up event, if you buy 1 lip + 1 cheek product, you get an additional cheek product! All the friends I went with wanted to buy cheek products, so we asked if we could change the lip product to a cheek product, but unfortunately, it wasn't allowed according to the regulations, so we didn't buy anything.

The pop-up giveaway was also a unique Nauet carabiner and chain!

A design that allows you to wrap it around your pants and connect Nauet lip or cheek products.

Currently, you can purchase them on the official mall or Musinsa!

Have fun completing missions and receiving unique gifts, so I highly recommend visiting the Nauet pop-up :)

The pop-up was using the entire first and second floors of the Nova Portal building, right in front of Exit 3 of Seongsu Station. It's running for about two weeks, from October 18th to November 1st, 2025. Opening hours are from 11 AM to 8 PM, and registration is only available on-site via a kiosk; no advance reservations are possible. Registration opens at 10:30 AM on the day of your visit at the kiosk located at the pop-up entrance, and entry order is announced via KakaoTalk notification. Hundreds of people were already lined up, so arriving exactly at 10:30 AM didn't guarantee immediate entry.

I arrived around 9:30 AM on the first day. The line stretched along the sidewalk in front of Nova Portal and into the alley next to the building. Most of the people were women in their 20s and 30s, but there were also many who came with friends or family. Fortunately, the weather was clear and cool, which made the wait bearable, but it was still a long time. The staff kept announcing, "Kiosk registration opens at 10:30 AM," while organizing the people waiting. At 10:30 AM, people started registering all at once, and after registering, I spent time having lunch nearby. I received the KakaoTalk notification around 2:30 PM, and entered around 3 PM, which meant a total wait of about 5 hours.

As soon as I entered, I felt like I was in another world. The first floor had displays that perfectly captured the brand's vibe and product testing zones. Sparkling shelves and posters under pink lighting filled the space. The combination of scents and colors made it a feast for the eyes, and it was fun to try out the products and choose what I wanted. The interior was more crowded than expected, but it felt like I was experiencing the brand's universe.

Shopping inside the pop-up was thoroughly enjoyable. Even without mentioning specific details about discounts or benefits based on the amount spent, I was satisfied just by looking at the products, and the process of choosing them was fun. Thanks to the friendly guidance of the staff, I was able to browse the space and products comfortably.

Of course, there were some downsides on the first day. The long wait and crowded interior were a bit overwhelming, and the time it took to enter was long. But these were issues that arose on the first day, and I think they will be improved in future operations.

Here's a summary of tips before visiting: There are no advance reservations, only on-site registration is available, so it's best to arrive early to be on time for kiosk registration. Since the wait after registration is long, it's convenient to find a cafe or restaurant nearby in advance. Shopping and viewing the products alone can be a sufficiently enjoyable experience.

Overall, the Flower Knows Seongsu pop-up, experienced after a 5-hour wait, was a well-made brand experience that made the wait entirely worthwhile. All elements of the products and space were harmoniously composed to fully convey the brand's vibe, and I enjoyed shopping even after the long wait. Next time, I would like to visit during weekday mornings to have a more relaxed experience. If you're a Flower Knows fan, this is a pop-up worth experiencing.

Flower Knows Seongsu Pop-Up Store Information Summary

Location: Nova Portal 1st-2nd Floor, Seongsu-dong (In front of Seongsu Station Exit 3)

Dates: October 18, 2025 ~ November 1, 2025

Hours: 11:00 AM ~ 8:00 PM

Registration: On-site kiosk registration (From 10:30 AM on the day of visit)

One-Line Summary

In the hot atmosphere of Seongsu, Flower Knows, met after a 5-hour wait, was a pop-up store with sensibility and perfection that made the wait entirely worthwhile.

Flower Knows Opens Naver Store Before Official Korean Launch

Before officially launching in Korea, Flower Knows opened a Naver store before opening their own online mall, establishing contact with fans in advance. It was interesting that the brand's vibe and products could be experienced online beforehand, and it provided advance information for fans preparing to visit on the opening day, further raising expectations. At the Naver store, you could preview the products available at the pop-up, and feel the colors, style, and small details of the brand online.

This Naver store opening was a strategy to reach out to Korean fans one step ahead, creating a natural flow that leads to the opening of their own online mall and visits to the pop-up store. By increasing interest in the products and brand even before the opening, the excitement and anticipation of fans when they actually visit the pop-up has increased even more.

A Chaumet Necklace Costs Over 100 Million Won?!

SUNGCHAN and ANTON of RIIZE, already dazzling with their visuals,

presented an all-time legendary combination of visuals + jewelry!

The two appeared at the Bee de Chaumet pop-up held at Lotte World Tower 'The Crown' in Seoul.

They were like princes come to life!

Every time the light reflected, the diamonds sparkled,

and the setting of white and yellow gold harmonized so well

with Sungchan and Anton's aura that fans at the event were overheard saying,

“Are they even human?”

And here's something even more amazing!

The total value of the Bee de Chaumet jewelry they wore that day

exceeded a whopping 300 million won…

It wasn't just a photoshoot level; it was more like

the jewelry was choosing the people.

Let's dive into the Bee de Chaumet pop-up information

along with the RIIZE princes' jewelry details!

Bee de Chaumet,

“Jewelry containing the beauty of light and nature's structure”

The 'Bee de Chaumet' line

was inspired by bees and honey.

It is a work that embodies the hexagonal structure of a beehive

and the light of nature reflected within it as jewelry.

That's why it's nicknamed the art of light, jewelry of harmony.

Even at this pop-up, that elaborate structural beauty

was fully felt.

Lotte World Tower Avenuel B1 Floor ‘The Crown’

October 16th ~ October 28th

In a space harmonized with honeycomb patterns and golden lighting,

the jewelry shines as if it's truly alive.

You can see not only the lines worn by Sungchan and Anton,

but also the entire Bee de Chaumet collection

directly at the pop-up!

Since it's within my radius, I stopped by for a moment,

and to put it simply, the atmosphere was

“It wasn't Bee de Chaumet, it was Visual Chaumet.”

Sungchan, Restrained Elegance Completed with a White Gold Set

Sungchan wore Bee de Chaumet's

White Gold Necklace (₩143,000,000),

displaying a luxurious but

absolutely not excessive look.

But a necklace costing over 100 million won...

It's at a level where you have to spend your entire fortune to buy it.

But I acknowledge it because it's high-quality luxury jewelry!

The scene of pavé diamonds flowing along the neckline and sparkling

was truly “a visual that even the lights were jealous of.”

He really looks like a prince... my eyes go to his face first...

He created a sense of tonal unity by matching it with a bracelet (₩69,200,000)

from the same line.

Adding a slightly different shimmer with a Rose Gold Ear Cuff (₩4,400,000),

he completed the perfect balance!

Anton, Soft Charisma Expressed with Yellow Gold

Anton showcased a more

classic yet trendy mood with a yellow gold line of warmer light.

Wow... he looks like a European prince... seriously.

The Bee de Chaumet Tassel Pendant (₩31,800,000) around his neck

features Chaumet's unique 88-faceted hexagon cut diamond at its center,

creating a design that reflects light gracefully.

He wore the Tassel Earring (₩35,100,000) from the same line

as a point on his left chest,

and the sense to choose an earring instead of a brooch

is truly like Anton.

The Bee de Chaumet Yellow Gold Earrings (price upon request) that he matched here

are also products with exclusive cut diamonds set in them,

and they subtly illuminate his face line as they delicately sparkle every time the light touches them.

It's a combination that feels classic yet young.

Although the price of Anton's product with multiple diamonds is upon request,

Is it just me, or does it feel inexpensive????

He finished off with a Rose Gold Bracelet (₩65,300,000) on his wrist,

balancing it with a warm tone.

Overall, it's intense but not at all overwhelming.

It's the epitome of 'royal chic'!

I wondered if high jewelry could suit them this well,

The moment when Bee de Chaumet's artistry and their presence

“Two people shining brighter than 300 million won jewelry,

The beautifully designed cosmetic packaging was mesmerizing, and there was even a lucky draw event!

Here's a detailed review of my Flower Knows pop-up experience.

Flower Knows Seoul Pop-Up Store

Dates: November 18th (Sat) - December 1st (Sat)

Hours: 11:00 AM - 8:00 PM

Location: Nova Portal 1-2F, 116 Achasan-ro, Seongdong-gu, Seoul (In front of Seongsu Station Exit 3)

Reservation: On-site kiosk waiting list (No advance reservations)

What's the hype about Flower Knows?

Under the slogan

"Live Your Fairytale,"

Flower Knows is a brand that showcases fairytale-like collections and products.

Although they market themselves as a global brand, it's actually a Chinese brand!

Recently, getting your makeup done and taking photos in Shanghai has become a trend. "Wanghong" makeup, unique to China,

is slowly emerging in Korea as well.

Flower Knows is one of the brands that allows you to see these Chinese trends.

Above all, Flower Knows has the most unique and beautiful packaging.

It's similar to the princess vibes of Etude House in the past,

but more daring and a full-fledged princess Rococo style!

Flower Knows Pop-Up Location and Wait Times

The Flower Knows pop-up is located in the very first building you see after exiting Seongsu Station Exit 3.

And it's easy to find because there are so many people!

I went on the first day, thinking it opened at 11 AM,

but was it real that there were 171 people waiting at 11:30 AM?!

Since only on-site kiosk waiting is available without prior reservation,

I put my name on the waiting list at 11:30 AM

and went to another pop-up, had lunch, and went to a cafe in the meantime.

I entered at 3 PM.

A whopping 3.5-hour wait, haha.

Flower Knows hit the jackpot... The wait was really long.

I hope it's just because it was the first day.

Flower Knows Purchase Benefits

Get 5% off when you buy 2 or more items

and 10% off when you buy 3 or more items.

Since the Flower Knows Korea Smart Store is also offering 10% off on all products,

you need to buy at least 3 items to break even.

If you purchase over 100,000 won,

you can experience the photo booth + DIY cookie keyring!

And they have a lucky draw for the first 7,000 people!

I just hoped I wouldn't get 6th place in this lucky draw.

I want it...!

1st Floor: Collection Viewing

On the 1st floor, you can see all the Flower Knows products that have been released so far by collection.

The beautiful Swan Ballet collection,

the Angel concept products,

and the Shells Jewel Collection, which is said to be one of the most popular products.

There were so many other products!

There's also a photo zone on the 1st floor,

and a photo booth available for purchases over 100,000 won.

The lucky draw area after purchasing products on the 2nd floor is also

located on the 1st floor.

2nd Floor: Product Testing and Payment Area

The 2nd floor is a space where you can test and

purchase products by collection.

Being able to see and test the Flower Knows products that I had only seen on social media...!

That alone was so, so good.

There were so many that I didn't know what to buy,

but the palettes seemed to have the prettiest exterior designs.

The palette from the very pretty Sweety Bear series.

This isn't even available on the Naver Smart Store yet,

so you can only officially see it at the pop-up.

I didn't know they had concealer!

I was a little hesitant to buy the mirror because it was so pretty,

but I already have a lot of hand mirrors, so I passed.

Should I have bought it...? Hehe.

Ah, there were so many things to see and buy, so I had fun looking around,

but a few things were a little disappointing.

✔️There were so many people compared to the testing space,

so it wasn't easy to test.

✔️Perhaps because there were so many people, the lighting wasn't good,

so it was a little difficult to check the color payoff.

But... there are purchase benefits for each tier,

and I already waited so long, so I ended up buying it anyway, haha.

I wondered if this collection was as good as people said it was...?

But somehow, it ended up in my purchase history.

Hahaha.

I didn't buy the Strawberry Rococo Collection blusher because

the exterior was so pretty, but the color payoff wasn't good.

Other people also said,

"If the color is pretty, the design is disappointing," etc.

It seems that there aren't many products that satisfy both design & color.

Please release more diverse colors and textures!

I got the Strawberry Cupid Collection liquid blush that I was curious about.

The 2nd floor also had various photo zones.

Although it's not in the photos, there are many vanities where you can test makeup.

But I wish they had made more product display zones than vanities

so that people could test more comfortably.

Of course, Flower Knows may not have expected so many people.

Lucky Draw Review

I purchased over 80,000 won, so I was able to participate in the lucky draw once,

and the result was 6th place!

Seeing that the person in front of me also got 6th place,

it seems that there are far more last-place prizes.

Too bad.

Flower Knows Product Review

Kyaa!

Even the shopping bag is cute!

It seems that the bear is Flower Knows' signature.

I bought a total of 3 items,

and I received a hair pin and 3 puffs as free gifts.

Tada!

Let me introduce them one by one.

Swan Ballet Series 6-Color Makeup Palette

01 White Swan

Kyaa

Such embossed design.

I can't believe how the exterior design looks like.

The container company is amazing. The designer is amazing...

Of course, the container isn't super luxurious,

but it seems to have Flower Knows' own vibe.

It's like playing with a toy,

and if you have a definite princess Rococo taste,

you'll really, really like these designs.

A little disappointing is that the palette color combinations

aren't as well-suited to Koreans as the domestic products at Olive Young,

so this palette seemed to be the best for versatile use.

Strawberry Cupid Collection Liquid Blush

05 Rum Cocoa

There were some colors that were too reddish or fluorescent,

but this liquid was a moderately lukewarm beige color, so I selected it!

And I couldn't just pass it by because the container was pretty.

Shells Jewel Collection Nourishing Lip Glaze

P02 Stella Naker

I bought it because the color was lukewarm and not too dull!

The colors aren't very diverse compared to the flashy design,

but still, it's pleasing to the eye,

and it feels like I've returned to a fairy tale and my childhood innocence,

so just looking at it makes me feel good and full.

Flower Knows is doing a good job...

I have a feeling I'll buy more if it's good after using it a few times.

Haha.

If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments!

I'm Hwangjeje ☺️, dedicated to pursuing a healthy lifestyle.

Seongsu, a trendy hotspot, is always vibrant and bustling with brand 'pop-up events' that cater to the five senses of the MZ generation.

I occasionally visit Seongsu on pleasant days to experience brands, marketing trends, and the sensibilities of the younger generation!

Today, I'd like to share my review of visiting the ‘SSG.com MISEUM FESTA’ with a VIP ticket.

The Seongsu SSG.com MISEUM was SSG.com's first large-scale offline festival, and its scale was exceptional.

As the name ‘MISEUM (美지엄)’ suggests, it was an event with a concept that encompassed both ‘beauty (美)’ and ‘experience (Experience),’

with food, beauty, lifestyle, and performances divided by floor.

At the entrance, I received a huge SSG.com bag and pamphlet.

Only later did I realize why such a big bag was needed and why this pop-up was so generous, haha.

The SSG.com MISEUM pop-up in Seongsu had completely different concepts for each floor, from the 1st to the 4th.

Each floor harmonized interior design, lighting, brands, and experiences,

giving the feeling of visiting a gallery, just as the name 'MISEUM' suggests.

The places where I spent the most time were definitely the 1st floor's ‘Gourmet Street’ and

the 3rd floor's ‘Sweet Zone & BEAUTY of SSG’;

the food booths were really well-organized.

✔️ 1st Floor – Gourmet Street & Delight Zone 🍳

Full of cooking shows and tastings by chefs, and booths from popular food brands!

At Gourmet Street, cooking demonstrations and tastings were held through Chef's Collection.

Chef Kim Do-yoon's mung bean dumplings were so delicious!

In the Delight Zone, along with a lively atmosphere,

a large number of ‘trusted brands’ participated, including Nongshim, Pulmuone, CJ CheilJedang, and Camel Coffee.

🍜 Nongshim Booth

The Nongshim booth was definitely the most popular!

The booth definitely caught my eye with the intense red color of Shin Ramyun and the trendy Kedeheon posters.

Along with a taste test of Tteokbokki ramen, it was decorated with a fun game zone in the concept of the trendy Kedeheon.

If you clear three games in a row, you get Shin Ramyun as a prize, haha.

I love Shin Ramyun so much, and I got two of them~

🌱 Pulmuone Booth

The Pulmuone Earth Diet booth, which I often used when dieting,

also provides generous tastings.

I was able to taste the products to my satisfaction, including rice balls, dumplings, and Earth buckwheat noodles.

In addition, many brands held various events that satisfied the five senses and provided fun, such as games, lucky roulette events, and tastings,

so I enjoyed myself without even noticing the time passing!

✔️ 2nd Floor – Emart Mall Fresh Lounge 🥬

A space focused on fresh produce, with a photo zone displaying fruits and vegetables that was refreshing.

It was a space that reminded me of SSG.com's fresh delivery.

You could also take a break.

You could also receive the actual fruit of the corresponding color through the ‘ball 뽑기 event’!

I received an orange~

✔️ 3rd Floor – Sweet Zone & BEAUTY OF SSG 💄

A floor composed of dessert brands such as Starbucks, Haagen-Dazs, Benson, Seolseong Ranch, and

premium beauty brands such as Estee Lauder, Guerlain, Sisley, and Molton Brown!

It was a luxurious space from the smell to the atmosphere.

☕ Starbucks Booth

Starbucks is still one of the booths with the most people!

They are offering a choice of 1 out of 3 drinks and 1 out of 2 desserts.

As expected, Starbucks' scale is undisputed.

Also, the heat was intense with Christmas limited edition goods and a roulette event.

I won a free drink ticket~

The Starbucks booth, which gives generously, is a must-visit!

🍦 Haagen-Dazs & Benson Ice Cream

The highlight of the Sweet Zone is this dessert duo!

Haagen-Dazs and Benson ice cream.

I think these two brands were the most popular after Starbucks on the 3rd floor.

At the Haagen-Dazs booth, new mini-cup tastings were in progress.

If you spin the roulette wheel, you can get a bar of ice cream or a free gift~

In particular, Benson offered tastings of 3 flavors,

and I think that tasting plate is a great idea!

The ice cream was chewy, and the pistachio was especially delicious.

In addition, various desserts and fruit booths are available.

I realized why the SSG.com pop-up was called 'Gastronomic MISEUM' ㅎㅎ

'Beauty of SSG,' which boasts an intense entrance, was a zone that required a separate reservation to enter.

When I went inside, premium beauty brands such as Estee Lauder, Guerlain, Sisley, Dolce & Gabbana Beauty, Amorepacific, and Byredo were holding various cosmetic samples and events.

In particular, Estee Lauder was the most popular booth because they were holding an event to give away 20ml of their famous 'Brown Bottle' as a gift through a roulette event!

They also give away generous samples of Brown Bottle, skincare, and foundation,

so I highly recommend that you visit!

In addition, various brands explained perfumes and products.

Personally, I was disappointed with the Amorepacific booth that I had been looking forward to.

It was a little messy, I guess. The brand staff were so unenthusiastic.

They suddenly squeezed serum onto the back of my hand holding my phone,

or stuck a sample on my finger without saying a word... I didn't even have a chance to experience the brand,

and I felt a little bad that they were just trying to send people away in 1-2 seconds.

I wanted to get a Byredo sample, but when I visited around 6 pm,

they said that all the samples for the day were already sold out ㅠㅠ

I was so disappointed that I just smelled the perfumes as much as I wanted.

The beauty zone was more disappointing than I thought..

But I was able to soothe my heart by receiving a generous gift bag at the exit.

I hope they strengthen the beauty part at next year's Festa~

✔️ 4th Floor – Rooftop Busking & Wine Tasting Zone 🎵🍷

On the last 4th floor rooftop, there was an indie band performance listening to the autumn breeze, and even a wine tasting space!

It was a healing zone that perfectly captured the Seongsu vibe~

First, I received camping chairs and keyrings as a gift.

You can also enjoy indie band performances on the stage where the chairs are laid out~

Wine and highballs that go well with the performance and the nice weather!

It was a perfect healing zone!

After enjoying it enough, the thank-you gift you receive at the exit is

the last course of the SSG.com MISEUM FESTA~

The SSG.com Seongsu pop-up ‘SSG.com MISEUM FESTA’

was not just a simple exhibition, but a sensational experiential festival.

Different concepts for each floor, brand participation, and generous gifts

It was an offline festival where you 'enjoy yourself without realizing the time passing'~

✔️ An ‘all-in-one Festa’ with food, beauty, and performances

✔️ More tastings and events are available when visiting in the morning!

✔️ A perfect day course for Seongsu dates and outings

Pop-Up Store Mission Event!

Pop-Up Store Gift Event!

Seongsu is always bustling with pop-up stores, and I often find myself coming home with my hands full. This time, Pulio collaborated with the upcoming movie Zootopia 2 to open a pop-up store in Seongsu!

So, I made a reservation in advance, but...

Well... our reservation got canceled...

Fortunately, they said we could just show the cancellation notice at the entrance, so we went at 11 AM on Saturday, the original reservation time!

The pop-up opened at 11 AM, and it seemed relatively relaxed, so we walked around the neighborhood. When we came back on time, the line was already long.

People with canceled reservations like us and those with confirmed reservations lined up separately to enter.

It wasn't a walk-in queue, so we waited about 20 minutes before getting in!

They let a few people in at a time, and the staff explained everything, which took a bit of time.

Once inside the pop-up, it was basically all photo spots.

We could take pictures while the staff was explaining things and the previous team was moving on!

Inside this pop-up called Pulio City, the goal was to complete missions and get stamps!

Next, we moved on to a train track called the Healing Train, where we listened to an explanation and immediately played a game.

To keep things moving quickly, only one person per team participated.

New characters from Zootopia 2 and Nick & Judy!

I think I took several pictures, but I only have one left.

As we moved along, we arrived at a miniature space called Pulio City!

I really loved these miniatures when I was a kid, and it was so fascinating and fun to see it made so large!

There's a traffic light in the Zootopia poster, and it felt like the traffic light that's a popular photo spot in Disneyland.

If you complete the pop-up missions, you can use the photo booth in that line, but we skipped it and just left!

And the last course:

It's labeled "Reaching 5-Layer Air Cell." You have to step on the pedals below to fill the bar and get a stamp!

While waiting to do this, the staff said they would give a gift if we uploaded to Instagram, so I took a picture of Pulio City and uploaded it, and received a calf compression band.

Since it's not a set, but only one piece, I have to go get another piece after receiving this!

Once you collect all the stamps, it's over!

Finally, we looked at the Healing Flower and checked out Pulio products to finish up.

I've only used their leg products, but I've been wanting to get a neck massager for my house lately.

Lastly, the Healing Train is an experience zone

where you can try out massage devices and massage chairs from Pulio!

I was curious, so I sat down and wanted to have one because I felt refreshed...

Since our reservation was canceled, we didn't get the welcome goods.

Here, after adding Pulio to KakaoTalk friends and taking a survey,

I was able to receive a mini gua sha and another compression band.

The color and size seemed to be random, but

I was lucky enough to get the right size and color...

We also received a gua sha each, isn't it cute?

The compression band is an essential item for commuting, so it was a great find, and it was fun to get a cute gua sha.

Besides that, the Migeum and Hansome pop-ups in Seongsu were also nearby,

so I went there and really had a day where my hands got heavy.

If you ever go to Seongsu, I recommend making a reservation for a pop-up and stopping by! I'll finish my review here.

October 25th (Saturday), 2 PM to 6 PM

October 26th (Sunday), 2 PM to 6 PM

Seongsu October Ariul Beauty Pop-Up Store Event Information:

Head over to Ariul's Instagram, capture a screenshot of their feed, and show it to the staff before entering the pop-up store.

You'll receive a random Ariul product at the Seongsu October Pop-Up Store!

It's first-come, first-served, so hurry! ????????‍♂️????????‍♂️

Ariul, which is opening this pop-up store in Seoul in October, is a brand that sells cleansing products!

We met before with Seongsu pop-up,

I'm meeting you again with this moving pop-up!

Cleansing wipes, cleansing oil, etc.

Applying makeup is important, but removing it is even more so!

See you at the Seongsu-dong October Pop-Up Store! ????

The Hyundai Seoul Christmas Village is back, and Instagram and blogs are already flooded with photos. Today, we're sharing essential tips and tricks to navigate the waiting lines, highlighting what's changed since last year.

Why is a waiting strategy even more crucial this year?

The 2024 Christmas Village is the most spectacular theme zone The Hyundai Seoul has ever created, leading to a surge in visitors.

This year features new photo zones and brand pop-ups, transforming a simple visit into a full-day winter festival.

This means you'll need a strategic approach for everything from initial entry to securing spots at popular photo locations and navigating cafe lines.

Understanding the On-Site Waiting System

The Hyundai Seoul Christmas Village operates entirely on a first-come, first-served basis, without a wireless queuing system.

Securing your spot relies on a combination of luck and arriving early.

While admission starts at 10 AM, arriving 30 minutes before opening is virtually essential if you're aiming for the popular photo zones.

Key Waiting Points:

- 1st Floor Central Christmas Tree Zone

- 5th Floor Rooftop “Winter Light Garden”

- Cafes & Pop-up Stores (especially Starbucks & Maison Kitsuné limited-edition menus)

Average waiting times range from 10-20 minutes in the morning to over an hour in the afternoon.

Mastering On-Site Waiting: Pro Tips

1. Arrive at 9:20 AM: The Golden Time

Arriving between 9:20 AM and 9:40 AM significantly increases your chances of entering right after opening.

Parking lots are often full by 9:30 AM, so we highly recommend using the subway (Yeouinaru Station, Line 5, is an 8-minute walk).

2. Plan Your Route Immediately After Entry

Avoid the crowded 1st-floor tree zone and head straight to the 5th-floor rooftop first.

The morning light is ideal for capturing the best photos.

3. Conquer Photo Zones as a Team

Visiting with 2-3 people makes it easier to divide waiting duties and secure spots.

One person waits in line, while another scouts for photo opportunities – the most efficient approach.

4. Essential Items While Waiting

- Portable Charger

- Warm Drinks (it's cold before entering the building)

- Bluetooth Selfie Remote (set it up while in line)

Reducing Waiting Fatigue: Practical Tips

- Pack Light Snacks Before Arriving: Snacks that are allowed inside can be helpful while waiting.

- Focus on Two Photo Zones: Trying to see everything will drain your energy and time.

- Head to Indoor View Zones in the Afternoon: Enjoy panoramic views of the Christmas Village from the 6th-floor cafes and lounges.

3 Changes from Last Year:

1. Increased Brightness of Tree Zone Lighting – Clearer Photos Even During the Day

2. Doubled Number of Pop-up Brands – New additions include The North Face and Jil Sander

3. Photo Booth Time Slot System – Some areas now require on-site reservations

In Conclusion

This year's The Hyundai Seoul Christmas Village offers a theme park-level experience, exceeding a simple photo zone.

Familiarizing yourself with these waiting tips will transform a potentially long wait into an exciting and memorable day.

Strategic Design of Entrance Signage

The entrance signage, which creates the first impression, is the most critical element. When manufacturing pop-up store fixtures, a large-scale sign featuring the brand logo and core message should be placed prominently. In Seongsu-dong, a minimalist and sophisticated design is effective, while in Hongdae, a more flamboyant and eye-catching design works best. Clear typography and color schemes are used to ensure that the target audience (ages 30-50) can instantly recognize the brand and feel intrigued.

Information Delivery System within the Space

A systematic information delivery system is required inside the pop-up store. Place signage that intuitively displays product descriptions, pricing information, experience guides, and flow lines. In the pop-up store construction process, Vision ID applies graphic designs that consider the hierarchy of information, allowing visitors to experience the space without confusion.

Special Graphics for Photo Zones

Creative and Instagrammable graphics are essential for photo zones designed to encourage SNS sharing. Integrate the design of the background, including brand hashtags, special phrases, and iconic visuals, with the fixture production. Careful planning ensures that the combination of lighting and graphics results in aesthetically pleasing photos.

Utilizing Diverse Materials and Techniques

In addition to flat graphics, various techniques such as three-dimensional lettering, neon signs, and projection mapping are used in the pop-up store fixture production.

While searching for more Dubai chocolate goodies, I stumbled upon a cream-filled cornet pastry shop at Lotte Department Store in Jamsil. Their marketing claims that BTS's J-Hope bought a whole bunch of them!

Whether it's true or not, they definitely succeeded in making me curious about the taste...! Hehe.

The bakery is called Kim's Deli Market.

At first, I thought it was located on the B1 floor of Lotte World Mall, but it's actually on the B1 floor of the department store.

Take Exit 4 of Jamsil Station and head towards Lotte World Adventure, you'll find it along the way.

I arrived around 4:40-4:50 PM on a Sunday and immediately looked for the Dubai chocolate cornet, but to my surprise...!!!

They had white chocolate, matcha, and pistachio cream-filled cornets, but no Dubai chocolate.

I wanted to try the white chocolate and matcha cornets too, but I resisted for dinner...

I hope I get a chance to try all the other breads next time!

For the Dubai chocolate cornet, I naturally ordered an iced Americano.

As I was waiting for my drink after finding a seat, a line suddenly formed around 5:10 PM (?)

It was a line for the Dubai chocolate cornet, with people ordering to-go and some customers like me in the store.

I hesitated for a moment, then quickly jumped in line, but later I realized I probably didn't need to.

There was plenty of stock, and even after everyone in line had bought theirs, there were still quite a few left...!! (Although people kept coming to buy them.)

For reference, there's a limit of 2 per person.

Finally, I got my hands on the Dubai chocolate cornet!!!!!

Inside view:

The outside is coated in chocolate, and the inside is filled with crunchy kataifi, making it so delicious.

I want to go back and eat it again!

Next time, I'm going to try the Godiva chocolate and matcha cornets...! My teacher in the office recommended the matcha cornet as being really delicious, so my expectations keep rising, haha.

I couldn't forget the taste of Longde May's Dubai chewy cookie, so I've been recommending it to everyone I meet and talking about it at school. One of my students recommended a cookie shop near the school for me ☺️

The cookie shop is called Scoopkey. After hearing about it from the student, I also randomly saw posts recommending it on Instagram, and realized it's quite a famous place.

It's famous as a dessert 맛집 in Cheoin-gu, Yongin!

Since it's exam period this week and only a 15-minute drive from school, I left work early at 1 PM today and rushed over there.

There's also parking in front of the store, so it's great for a quick stop and takeout.

My main goal was the Dubai chocolate cookie, but all the cookies looked so delicious that I almost bought them all...

They had so many Dubai treats, like Dubai tart, Dubai brownie, and Dubai chocolate, but I'm all about the Dubai chewy cookie, haha.

I bought the matcha Oreo, which my student strongly recommended, the egg tart that my mom loves, and my beloved peanut Nutella, along with the Dubai chewy cookie.

Dubai Chewy Cookie: ₩4,500

Egg Tart: ₩3,500

Matcha Oreo: ₩2,700

Peanut Nutella: ₩2,700

That's what I bought!

Pretty!

As soon as I got home, I immediately tried the Dubai chewy cookie, and it was bigger than I expected!

The outer layer is really thin, soft, and super chewy!!

The inside is also packed with kataifi.

The Dubai chewy cookie was delicious, but (I liked Longde May's more...

The ganache or chocolate on the outside had a richer taste).

Personally, I think the regular cookies were more delicious, haha.

Especially the matcha Oreo that my student recommended!

Slightly bitter, sweet, crunchy, and fudgy!

Recommended if you like matcha!!!!

But after so long, Hongdae was plastered with anime everywhere...

It didn't used to be this much, I think.

Since I was in Hongdae, I decided to start by heading up AK Plaza, now known as the 'Otaku Tower.'

But on the way to AK, a huge new gacha shop had opened, so I stopped by.

Seriously, ₩7,000 or ₩8,000 for a single gacha pull?

Seriously...

Aren't domestic gacha shop prices getting too high? ㅠㅠ

In the meantime, I found this sunfish mejirushi with a decent price.

I really wanted it, so I tried my luck.

I wanted everything except the jellyfish and Nemo...

Of course, I got Nemo twice and the jellyfish, which I wanted the least, and the sunfish..

In the end, ₩12,000 vanished.

I swore I wouldn't do gacha unless I was in Japan, but because of that sunfish...

I thought it would be dazzling, but the real thing was a bit underwhelming...

Climbing the Otaku Tower, it felt like there was a lot going on.

Exhibitions, and so many more gacha machines.

But then I found it.

Summer Wars mejirushi...?!

I've watched Summer Wars at least five times since I was a kid.

It's one of my favorite movies.

How could this be coming out as mejirushi now?

Why didn't anyone tell me?

I have to collect the whole set.

I made up my mind and searched online, but since it was released a while ago, online gacha shops were already sold out or had almost no stock...

Buying them here would be too expensive....

Something like ₩6,000 each.

I gritted my teeth and bought two...

My wish is King Kazma and that rat.

Looks like I'll have to go to Hongdae again on October 31st...

MegaHouse official shop in Hongdae?

I wonder if they'll have an opening event? Please....

I wonder if they just realized that otaku have money.

Lots of otaku shops are opening up here and there.

Which is great for me.

I don't really like Eevee, but that series is so cute and the colors are so vibrant.

It's so popular that it's already sold out?

They only had the gacha display, but I couldn't find the gacha machine.

And the reason I came to AK Plaza?

Nope, nothing here...

Is this a pop-up?

Just setting up a stall and calling it a pop-up?

If that's the case, they shouldn't even promote it, it's so frustrating.

Only bad cookies were left, and no goods left at all.

Okay, I admit I went near the end of the pop-up.

But this is just not good.

I was so angry that I browsed Animate, and it felt like Animate itself had gotten bigger.

Did they expand without me knowing??

The old manga section and the goods section had switched places.

I didn't realize there was so much to see.

I didn't know it, but the day I went was the day after the Korean release of Manamichi Volume 2, so I immediately bought it.

The price was the same as online, ₩6,300, and there weren't any special perks I wanted, so I just bought it right away.

I'm reading it whenever I have a chance, but I still don't have a favorite character...

When will a handsome and cool male character show up?

I just briefly stopped by Ichiban Kuji.

Naruto's smiling face was so cute that I took a picture.

And the Chainsaw Man Reze arc Kuji that came out this time.

I believe it's the Last One Prize.

It's the first time I've seen it in person.

But it was the biggest and most elaborate Kuji figure I've ever seen...

I wanted the Last One Prize more than the Reze figure, so I looked up the resale price, and it was selling for over ₩300,000.

But I understand the price.

I was really surprised when I saw it.

The quality was so good and the size was really big...

Shark Beam is so cool..

After leaving AK Plaza, I followed the otaku map on Twitter and went around the goods shops.

Demon Slayer goods were almost completely sold out.

The only ones left were unpopular characters.

There wasn't anything I really wanted to buy, so I was just looking around to see what's popular these days.

There were so many places to stop by that I walked around for about 3 hours.

I was originally going to go to the Inuyasha pop-up.

I just ended up walking around Hongdae all day...

I felt like I couldn't go to work the next day if I went to Inuyasha too.

Besides,

There are so many learned people.

It was so much fun looking at the owners' collections.

There were some hard-to-find items too.

I stared at that Iguro for a long time because he was so handsome...

While walking around, the Keroro coaster was reasonably priced and the lineup was all good, so I bought one.

Was this Shiro Sangjeom?

They had so many good products that I only looked around at other goods shops, but I ended up spending a lot of money here.

The owner had been to the My Hero Academia Original Art Exhibition.

They had a lot of Original Art Exhibition goods too.

Two cards for ₩2,500.

They were also selling postcards cheaply, so I bought them while I was there.

Of course, I'm going to the Original Art Exhibition in November too, haha.

The Bakugo bomb plushie also seemed popular, and they were selling it here.

The hot Chainsaw Man dangling gacha.

Apparently, it had just been stocked the day before, but it was already sold out.

I was planning to buy them all up when I go to Japan next week.

Everyone is so fast....

Thanks to that, I got to see the real thing.

Isn't it too cute and well-made?

It's a little disappointing that it doesn't have a beam.

I'll have to find the beam myself.

I hope it's not sold out even when I fly to Japan?

ㅠㅠ

Anyway, I walked around Hongdae all day and walked over 10,000 steps.

It was tiring and I spent a lot of money.

But I felt a sense of accomplishment and my bag was full.

And the things I bought.

If I opened them right away, I felt like I would keep pulling until I got what I wanted, so I held back and opened them when I got home.

And Tamama came out...

I hoped that Tamama wouldn't come out.

But looking at it again, the material is good and the colors are vibrant.

Tamama looks cute, so I like it.

If I really didn't like it, I would have put it on Bunzang right away, but I decided to just use this one.

And the Original Art Exhibition cards.

Of course, I was hoping for the main character or my favorite Kirishima or others, but... both of them were female characters...

I don't dislike them, but I don't really like them either.

But I like Eri saying 'Wow!' because it's from the culture festival scene in My Hero Academia ㅠㅠ

It would have been nice if Mirio's face had been in it too, but it's a shame...

And one random postcard from the Original Art Exhibition.

Bakugo and Midoriya standing side by side.

Isn't this a success?

Shoto is in the back too!

Cool Bakugo!

As expected, My Hero Academia's art style is the best.

And the Mejirushi that failed miserably.....

Only the ones I didn't want came out.

Seriously... it's infuriating.

This is just not good.

I can accept the main character.

But the commentator...?

Museum Address: Room 201, 2nd Floor, 8, Gwanak-daero 296beon-gil, Dongan-gu, Anyang-si, Gyeonggi-do

Today, I'm excited to introduce you to a vintage shop in Insa-dong where I scored an adorable hoodie for a steal!

This vintage shop is located right in the heart of Insa-dong's main street, making it super easy to find. Once you head downstairs to the B1 level, you'll be amazed by the spacious interior.

Right near the entrance, they have a section with items marked down by a whopping 50%! There are some real treasures to be found among the discounted items, so keep your eyes peeled for a great deal!

Inside, the shop is neatly organized with sections for women's clothing, men's clothing, and unisex items. They also have a great selection of accessories, including bags, headbands, hats, and more!

I really appreciate how neatly the clothes are categorized by type, making it a pleasant and easy shopping experience.

I'd stopped by Insa-dong once before and was able to find a unique upcycled bag.

They have large full-length mirrors and fitting rooms, so you can try things on and see how they look before making a decision. It makes shopping at Insa-dong Vintage so much more convenient and comfortable!

Besides the regular vintage clothes, they also have a lot of upcycled pieces. You can find a one-of-a-kind item that's truly unique to you!

For those who enjoy running, there are clothes that would be perfect to wear! And most items are priced under ₩50,000, which is a great deal.

They have a wide variety of Polo shirts and sweaters at affordable prices, so don't miss out if you visit Insa-dong!

As the weather gets cooler, I snagged a Nike fleece hoodie. The price was ₩49,000. Isn't that a great price!?

The 2025 Seochon Brand Week features the participation of local cafes, bookstores, and galleries.

Seochon Brand Week is a festival that brings together various spaces in Seochon, including workshops, cafes, bookstores, galleries, and restaurants. It's a blend of diverse cultural and recreational activities, such as music appreciation, reading, exhibitions, and markets, even reading with drinks. There's so much going on that it can feel a bit overwhelming.

They were also offering a coupon event for those who spend over 10,000 KRW in Seochon and bring the receipt, but I skipped it as it seemed too complicated and I wasn't interested in the featured restaurants or cafes.

At the Honggeonik House, I participated in Capture Log.

Seochon refers to the village located west of Gyeongbokgung Palace. Administratively, it encompasses various neighborhoods such as Okin-dong, Nusang-dong, and Nuha-dong, spread out on both sides of Pilun-daero Road. You can think of it as the area near Baehwa Girls' High School.

During the Japanese colonial period, this area was also home to Byuksu Villa, a Western-style mansion owned by Yoon Deok-yeong, who was an even more fervent pro-Japanese figure than Lee Wan-yong. Now, no traces of it remain. Seochon has a fascinating network of narrow alleys and numerous houses built on the mountainside, making it a delightful neighborhood to explore. As you wander around, you'll encounter a unique blend of buildings from the 1950s and 60s, traditional Korean houses (Hanoks), and modern structures.

This unique atmosphere is drawing even more popularity than Bukchon Hanok Village. Perhaps that's why novelist Han Kang lives in this neighborhood. It truly is a place where you can fully experience the four seasons and feel a sense of tranquility. Although the number of visitors has increased, there are still many wonderfully charming spots.

Be sure to visit the Honggeonik House. The Seoul Metropolitan Government acquired the house of a wealthy merchant named Honggeonik and transformed it into a Hanok space for everyone to enjoy.

I happened to participate in the Capture Log event. They lend out Instax Mini 12 cameras to the first 30 people each day, which you must return within two hours. It comes with 10 shots, of which you submit 2 and can keep the remaining 8. You don't necessarily have to return the camera to Honggeonik House; you can also return it to Sangchunjae, located at the end of a Seochon tour.

You'll need a mobile ID or other form of identification to borrow the camera.

The Hanok appears to have been built during the Japanese colonial era. Hanoks with glass windows are mostly renovated or urban-style Hanoks, often built by the construction company of Jeong Se-kwon, the 'King of Korean Architecture.' Nevertheless, this one is quite large.

They've arranged books to encourage reading. With autumn being the season for reading, many local governments, especially Seoul, are promoting 'Reading Seoul.'

Honggeonik House also has an annex, which I imagine was once the sarangbang (guest room). It was probably a space where male guests would drink, read, converse, and smoke.

You can enter and sit in all the spaces. It's a great place to experience what a Hanok feels like.

In the backyard, camping chairs are provided for reading.

When you visit Honggeonik House, be sure to climb to the very top of the backyard. You'll get a full view of the entire house.

I've already taken three shots. It's my first time using an Instax camera. The button placement seemed odd, but I realized the basic Instax photo is a vertical shot, like a short-form video. You're supposed to hold it vertically, but I only took horizontal shots.

These are the locations of the Seochon Brand Week events. Some require reservations. There are many hands-on activities. It's a major festival in Seochon. Jongno-gu hosts many festivals in October.

I envy this area. Jongno-gu has so many of these spaces. Perhaps because it was once the capital of Joseon, it has a rich history and many stories.

This is Pilun-daero Road. Seochon's attractions are located on both sides of this road that cuts through the neighborhood.

There are many buildings with Hanok roofs that are rarely seen elsewhere.

Seochon Lounge is one of them. They're starting a new exhibition on October 23rd. The final preparations are underway.

This is one of Seochon's alleys. I saw that Hanok being built, and it turned out beautifully. The government provides significant subsidies for building Hanoks. While Hanoks may be less convenient for modern living, they have a courtyard, the charm of wood, and are simply beautiful to look at. The camping chair in the alley is memorable. A generation ago, there would have been a wooden platform there.

Even small spaces are decorated beautifully. This is just a roadside space, but it looks like a cafe garden.

This is where Suzy's hideout was in the movie 'Architecture 101.' Many great Korean films came out around the time 'Architecture 101' was released, but now... I'm not so sure.

Most of the houses in this area are Hanoks, and they are a mix of residential and commercial spaces.

Bukchon Hanok Village restricts access, only opening during the day and closing at night due to the influx of tourists. Seochon has no such restrictions. Since the no-traffic policy implemented in Bukchon Hanok Village, I no longer feel like visiting.

Jahamun-ro 7-gil and Pilun-daero are the main roads in Seochon. Jahamun-ro 7-gil has become a hot spot with many cafes and restaurants.

There's a large pavilion in the middle of Seochon, where many elderly people gather.

Next to it is Tongin Market, a traditional market famous for its oil tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes). It's located near the Blue House, so the president used to visit often.

I wondered what kind of building a two-story Hanok could be, but surprisingly, it's the 'Okin Childcare Harmony Center.' There's even a kids' cafe. Even public institutions in this neighborhood are in Hanoks. However, two-story Hanoks were rare in the Joseon era because of the ondol (underfloor heating) system. Ondol was widely used by commoners and was later adopted by the nobility for their tile-roofed houses. But ondol couldn't be installed on the second floor, so there were only one-story houses. China, with its warmer climate, could build two or three-story buildings without worrying about winter.

This is Pilun-daero Road. Every time I come here, I'm immersed in the scenery of the alleys on both sides of Pilun-daero. It's a really great neighborhood. Perhaps that's why so many writers and artists live in and come from Seochon. If only there weren't any apartments in sight, it wouldn't feel like Seoul at all. Because of the Blue House, high-rise apartments couldn't be built, which is why it became a tourist destination in Seoul.

There's a stone structure resembling Jizo Bodhisattva in front of a Hanok building.

At Sangchunjae, I participated in Open Bookshelf, Reading Village.

Seochon has a Hanok cultural space called Sangchunjae, where you can also experience Hanoks. This is a truly beautiful Hanok.

I returned the Instax camera and the two photos. The returned photos are displayed here.

Inside the Hanok, there was a photo exhibition showcasing the four seasons of Seochon. I've seen so many photos that I'm becoming less and less impressed, but I stopped for a moment. It was full of photos capturing Seochon's four seasons, including rainy and snowy days. Seochon during a downpour, and Seochon's autumn with its yellow ginkgo leaves.

These were truly wonderful photos that I hadn't seen in a long time. It's a blessing to have someone documenting the neighborhood like this.

Be sure to visit Sangchunjae.

The jars in the backyard are also very pretty.

At Open Bookshelf, Reading Village, if you read a book and submit a book review or a recommendation for someone else, you'll receive a souvenir. They also have an Instagram event.

I was immediately captivated by Han Kang's short story 'Paper Piano' from 'The Essentials.' When we were young, we played the piano with a paper piano printed with piano keys instead of a real piano. I remember playing one too, but I wasn't interested in the piano, so I took the easiest recorder exam.

I was very interested in sports. Han Kang writes that when she wanted to play the piano in elementary school, her mother couldn't afford piano lessons due to their family circumstances. But when she was in middle school, their financial situation improved, and her mother offered to send her to piano lessons. Han Kang wondered why her mother would suddenly offer piano lessons when she was supposed to be preparing for the middle school entrance exam.

But it seems her mother had seen her playing the paper piano. She felt it was something she hadn't been able to provide for her.

There's a time for everything you like. There's a reason why they say you shouldn't make your passion your profession. You never know when you might stop liking it.

You'll always be good at what you're good at. Han Kang writes in her short story about how her mother offered to send her to piano lessons when she was good at and enjoyed writing novels, poems, and essays.

Even now, countless parents across the country must feel a stab in their hearts when they can't give their children what they ask for because of their financial situation. I saw a good book for a while in a good space at an age when the things I want to do are gradually disappearing. The book 'The Essentials' is a good read because it contains a mix of the novel 'Greek Lesson', short stories, essays and poems.

By participating in the event and the Instagram event, I received a keyring and a fountain pen. It's a PREPPY Japanese fountain pen, and after using it now, wow~ the writing is really smooth. It costs over 3,000 KRW per pen, and it's amazing to see such a fountain pen. It's been almost 20 years since I last wrote anything, so I'm realizing how much writing instruments have evolved.

Nowadays, it's all about typing. That's why the warmth of handwriting, which reveals and contains personal individuality, has disappeared. I miss receiving handwritten letters.

The Seochon Brand Week, which runs until this Sunday, is a great event. Be sure to participate.

Start by visiting the Honggeonik House.

I practically sprinted to Exit 3 and arrived to find a whopping 81 teams and a 108-minute wait for on-site registration! ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Being there during my lunch break, I couldn't help but sigh. But the staff assured me that the line moves quickly! So, I registered and waited at the Starbucks across the street, chatting away. ㅜㅜ

While refreshing the page… suddenly!!!

Ta-da!!!

At this point, you just have to get in line, and you can enter regardless of your waiting number! ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

My boss scheduled a meeting for 2:30 PM, so I was a nervous wreck. I couldn't focus on taking pictures or anything! ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Once inside, they gather everyone into groups and explain the concept on the first floor.

But I'm so sorry, I couldn't hear a word they were saying… I apologize… As soon as they said, "Please proceed to the second floor!" I bolted upstairs! ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

It was so crowded that it was hard to really test anything.

And all the pretty items were already sold out! ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

I quickly browsed the lip products and tested a few eyeshadows before grabbing them! Each item was around 25,000 won, so buying two instantly cost me almost 60,000 won. ㅠㅠ

I bought one lip product and one eyeshadow and received a draw ticket and a puff as free gifts! ㅋㅋ

But what really stole my heart was the shopping bag… Maltipoo owners would go crazy for it.

Isn't it just like a Korean gummy bear? ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ I'm going to cut out the shopping bag and use it as a poster! ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

These are the free gifts for spending over 50,000 won! ㅋㅋㅋ I'm not sure how to use the puff… Is it for applying blush?

And a bear hair pin! ㅋㅋㅋ This is also cute. ㅜㅜ

This is the Flower Knows Sweet Bear Collection Coating Lip Jelly JE07 Canelé that I bought.

It's a chocolate color with my favorite bear on it.

You use the applicator tip to scoop out a little bit at a time.

The scent is completely artificial chocolate, which I really dislike. ㅜㅜ

Here's a swatch! ㅋㅋㅋ (Am I doing this right?) Anyway, it's super glossy!! Doesn't seem very long-lasting.

Flower Knows Sweet Bear Collection 5-Color Makeup Palette 01 Buttery Croissant

The detail is insane, seriously so pretty. ㅠㅜ

It's so shimmery,,,

About six years ago, I used a similar color palette from 3CE really well, but I don't remember the name or where it is... I was looking for similar colors at Olive Young but couldn't find them, so I bought this one without hesitation! The price was around 37,000 won ㅜㅜ A bit expensive.

Swatches in order

The shimmer is so pretty ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ It has colors I think I'll use often!!! The color payoff isn't super intense, but I still like it the most ㅎㅎㅎㅎ

If I had more time, I would have looked around thoroughly, but I'm a busy working person, so I'm very sad ㅠㅠ But the wait was so terrible that I don't want to go again ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ Still, I was happy to see a lot of cute things????

Museum Address: 2nd Floor, 201, 8, Gwanak-daero 296beon-gil, Dongan-gu, Anyang-si

This is the 'Maeum (Heart)' series miniature Pensive Bodhisattva figurine, sporting a K-heart!

It's a collaboration product between the Pensive Bodhisattva and Choi Goshim.

It was released in blue, green, and pink, and sold out immediately at the Muyz shop...

But I managed to snag one!

I barely got my hands on it after an 'open run' at the National Museum of Korea.

The price is the same as Muyz's: ₩65,000.

After agonizing over the colors, I chose the cute pink one.

Each part of the case has a different illustration.

As much as it emphasizes the collaboration between Muyz and Choi Goshim...

There are adorable Choi Goshim drawings.

The figurines in green, blue and pink all have different poses and details.

But I definitely don't regret my choice.

How could you resist a Pensive Bodhisattva doing a K-heart?

Shy shy, but it's my heart!

The Pensive Bodhisattva's heart-heart!

Looking at the character, I want to buy the green and blue ones too.

But it's too expensive to buy all three...

Opening the pink case reveals a white box inside.

Inside, there's custom-fit cushioning.

It's a custom case as if preserving a real artifact.

I can feel how much effort Muyz put into it.

I feel like the quality is definitely worth the price.

Included with the Pensive Bodhisattva are four cards.

Two character cards and two actual photos of the Pensive Bodhisattva.

The back contains Choi Goshim's charm, an explanation of the Pensive Bodhisattva, and the planning intention.

It reminds us of the importance of its meaning and value as a national cultural heritage.

Since the card is pink, I think the green and blue ones will have different cards.

I wish they included all the cards... It's a shame.

The Pensive Bodhisattva is packaged in multiple layers.

The moment it's revealed...

...the mesmerizing quality of the radiant pink.

The high quality makes the ₩65,000 price tag feel worth it.

If you give it as a gift to people around you, especially foreign friends...

...it would be a meaningful gift.

Look at the pink Pensive Bodhisattva's heart!

K-heart going global.

Good things must be seen up close.

The radiant hand shape perfectly attached to the cheek.

The quality is really good from any angle.

Most figures or miniatures...

...always have parts that you don't like.

But truly, I can only admire it no matter which part I look at.

Down to the details of the Pensive Bodhisattva's base.

It feels like the magnificent crown and clothing folds I saw in the Room of Contemplation at the National Museum of Korea, National Treasure No. 78, are perfectly recreated.

A shot on the sofa.

It reveals its presence wherever the background is.

The case holding the Pensive Bodhisattva...

...fits perfectly in the shape of the Pensive Bodhisattva, really

It feels like it enhances the luxurious quality even more.

I keep taking pictures with various backgrounds.

Emphasizing the illustration work with artist Choi Goshim and the Muyz brand once more...

...I conclude this review of the limited edition Pensive Bodhisattva miniature merchandise.

Anyway, just bragging that I have it at my house.

Everyone, get a Pensive Bodhisattva for your home!

May peace of mind and family happiness be with you.

One-line review:

A house of contemplation with the Pensive Bodhisattva.

Get ready for the Pulio pop-up in Seongsu this October! We're here to give you all the details, from pre-registration and cancellation gifts to insider tips for your visit!

Location & How to Visit (Pre-registration/On-site)

The Pulio pop-up was a huge hit on its opening day, with brand model Yoona making a special appearance.

I was so bummed I missed her by a hair due to a prior commitment!

Pulio's giving out gifts just for visiting, but there was a lot of buzz about the pre-registration, right?

You can visit the Seongsu Pulio pop-up in October by either pre-registering or waiting in line on-site.

Those who kept their pre-registration will receive a pouch, while those who cancelled their reservation will receive compression bands.

(Cancellation confirmation text required)

Here's a pro tip for your visit:

Even if you pre-registered and got cancelled, you'll still have to face the long wait upon arrival.

(Successful pre-registration = No waiting!)

Pro Tip!

You can try out the massage devices inside, but since the gifts are the same, you can skip the line and just get your compression bands at the entrance if you don't want to go inside!

Keep in mind that you'll have to wait in line even if you don't want to enter, and they check before you go in.

Event Sneak Peek

The Seongsu Pulio pop-up in October is giving out gifts for completing simple stamp missions. See below for detailed event info: ▼▼▼

Pulio

✔ Pouch & Keychain with Pre-registration (Compression band upon cancellation verification)

✔ Compression band for pre-registration cancellation customers who don't want to experience the zone

✔ Free Photoshoot at Photoism

✔ Compression Band for SNS Uploads

✔ Chance to win a V3 Neck & Shoulder Massager via feed maintenance raffle

✔ Gua Sha gift for adding KakaoTalk Plus Friend & Survey

✔ Product Discounts & Experience Zone

✔ No-Lose Lucky Draw with Product Purchase

Pulio Pop-up

The Seongsu Pulio pop-up collaborates with Zootopia! Groups enter together, and it can be a bit chaotic inside due to the crowds.

In the themed zone, find the right massager for your neck/shoulders, calves, and thighs to complete the mission, matching the animals (owl, frog, seal) to the respective body part.

Next, move on to the Marsh Market from Zootopia 2, scheduled for theatrical release on November 26th, and take a picture after finding Gary!

Zootopia fans will love the well-decorated Pulio pop-up!

Pro Tip! Gary is on the right side of the wall at the entrance!

Visit the Pulio-City pop-up in Seongsu in October and get gifts just for showing up (including cancelled pre-registration customers who don't want to enter)!

Since groups enter together, only one person needs to succeed in the Air Cell mission to complete all the stamps for the whole group!

After completing the Pulio pop-up stamp missions, upload a post on SNS to get a compression band!

Pro Tip! The Photoism photo booth is free, but the wait is very long, so you can skip it!

Visit the Pulio pop-up and find neck & shoulder, calf, thigh, and multi-chair massagers at discounted prices. You can also participate in a no-lose lucky draw with every purchase for even more gifts!

Also, maintain your SNS feed for a chance to win a V3 massager!

I bought a neck and shoulder massager when they were trending, but I rarely use it because I'm lazy. But I have heard it is very refreshing!

There's even a space where you can try out the refreshing massagers at the Pulio pop-up.

We visited during the peak season, there were many pop-ups and my legs were so tired. The calf massage was truly heavenly :)

I also tried the multi-chair, but it wasn't quite as refreshing...

Add KakaoTalk Plus Friend and complete a satisfaction survey in the experience zone to receive a gift!

As mentioned before, those who successfully pre-registered will receive a purple pouch and Zootopia keychain, while those who failed will receive a compression band.

The Gua Sha is given out randomly from a set of 3, and you can receive Zootopia collaboration goods when you purchase it.

Overall

Despite all the fuss, the Seongsu Pulio pop-up in October is worth a visit. You can experience the massage devices and get gifts like compression bands, pouches, and Gua Sha!

If you missed the pre-registration, check out these tips and pay a visit!
