SPITGAN MAGAZINE: SPITTING MAD FIRE
Seoul, Korea is a place you gotta go! It’s bubblin’ with a new energy, a young, go get’em type of energy. The city is massive and there is much to explore at a leisurely pace. Respect. We’ll be back. Here’s a sampling of some characters we came across on our promonades!
A recent trip to Seoul was a real revelation. Now I see what the hype is about. How you got their pop stars rockin’ and rollin’ with the biggest and baddest in the world? Cuz you got culture built from some roots and foundation ish at home! Really we comparing this to our home town Hong Kong btw, so if ya feel slighted feel slighted. Every area we went to in Seoul had its own flavor. It was all top flight and impressive. In Itaewon, supposedly a renown party and bar area by night we stumbled across 2 dope stores. BEAKER shop was a house of delights. From the flat facade you get the slightest of hints of what awaits you inside. It’s pretty unassuming, but once in, it opens up into a wonderland of treats. I ain’t just talking about the gear on sale. Make no mistake its on point with that too, but the decor of the store is highly impressive. It’s like a space built on found wood objects, reworked with imagination and style. Santa’s workshop with a twist? Tim Burton productions? It’s all ill and it makes you want to wander into every nook exploring its huge 2 floor space. Check the images below and visit these bad boys if you have the chance! I think they have a few locations btw. Salute!
We were lucky enough to stumble upon Korean artist Bella Dea in the subway of all places! There was an art space at the station closest to our hotel and saw her artwork first which as you can see was all manga figures or animations. Having the opportunity to meet Bella herself, she explained how she started as a artist, sewing these felt figurines for her young son as toys. We think they’re pretty dope. Check check!
