Ask a Local Korea Content Creator Jiyong

Q . Could you briefly introduce yourself?

JIYONG
Hi there! I'm Jiyong Kang, a content creator with a lot of things I want to do! I make videos about the Korean language and culture. I’m also into sports, movies, and music. So I’m always up to something new and staying active.

Q . Do you have a favorite cafe in Korea?

JIYONG
I have a lot of favorite cafes, but the one I love the most is <Haemian Coffee Bar> in Itaewon.
It’s got a bit of a Japanese feel and is super pretty spot on a hill with big open windows. I love taking my friends there. It's definitely a special place for me.

Q. Is there any place you’re especially fond of?

JIYONG
I’m really into vintage shops, no matter where I am or what country I’m in. I recently moved near Seoul Forest, so I've been checking out some of the vintage shops around there. One I like the most is <love old forest> To be honest, I’m not good with fashion so I usually go for things like plates, cups, or vases. I think what I love most about vintage shops is finding those unique, one-of-a-kind items that no one else has.
