Splitting the bill

Korean actor Ryu, Seung-Ryoung has

The concept is quite hilarious

One ordinary day-

It feels great

when

I realize

I am alive -

breathing, eating, chatting, walking

and singing without any worrisome.

Computer Saving-screen!

Hello!!!

 

Autumn is hitting the climax in Seoul- Nov.08.2013

Well, nothing special, but just wanted to post up computer saving-screen

that I made at work. It kind of shows a season.

Preparation of 14 F/W season

Autumn breeze has filled the air in Seoul.

I have been taking lots of photos lately because

October is the most beautiful time of the year in Korea.

As I was preparing the next year's trend at my work,

I found out that one of the buyer's inspiration was coming from Miranda Kerr.

 My design director was pending whether to use her fashion shot

for Kohl's Vendor Fair banner or not.

Eventually, the direction geared to an unexpected way,

so I just might as well post this up that I had worked on as an idea-

.

for a record

.

I call this K-POP art.

I found these two brilliant idea

of re-interpreting old Korean folk art into...

its own commercial art.

1. Grill5

( The original artwork below comes from Chosun Dynasty.

Drawn by Shin Yoon-Bok, titled "Wol-Ha-Jeong-In" (월하정인)

Obviously, the man and the woman are attracted to each other,

meeting illegally when everybody's asleep.

Despite the moon is even facing the ground, keeping their secrets,

the woman and the man have different paths to take

that this love cannot be made through.

It was fun to see contemporized,

and some kind of rhetoric sense is melted in 

Grill5 commercial that man has brought the best food

to the woman and guiding the way to go out in a quiet night.

If you can read Korean, visit the link below

to go into a depth about the secret of this painting.

It even shares the secret of the time they met each other based on 

the shape of the moon...

Lot of historians assume that they met at 11:50pm )

2. Gook-Dae-Ddok-Bbok-E (국대떡볶이)

국대떡볶이 is a franchised Korean stewed rice-cake restaurant.

It's not a fancy restaurant, rather it's more like Subway

or a Quizno feel, where you order, eat and go, fast.

But! it's NOT a fast-food! 떡볶이 is quiet a mid-level difficulty food.

Anyways, I was walking by 삼청동,

and I saw this big poster during a hot-humid summer 

right infront of 국대떡볶이.

The drawing is famous-

Everyone knows it because they are the character from Korean textbook!

Her name is ALWAYS 영희

and his name is ALWAYS 철수.

영희 ( Young-Hee ) & 철수 ( Cheol-Soo ).

It's always a friendly reminder whenever I see them.

( Below is the original characters of Cheol-Soo and Young-Hee

from elementary textbook. Since it's a textbook, 

they always say the nicest things about each other,,,, you know

the textbook dialogue - nothing surprised.

Now these days, people use these

two characters that they make fun of each other and make postcard

out of it or a sticker. Even Kakaotalk use these two characters

and sell online store to use as a emoticon. )
