new balance Japan trade show

2008-09-21T08:34:00.000-07:00

Went out to new balance Japan trade show last month.
Japan has a strong influence to world sneaker market since 90's. They are reknowned for special editions and collabo models that are produced in limited quantities. Kids are eagerly trying to get one of these special Japanese edition pairs around the world and searching for the internet.
New Balance Japan has a strong reputation of their own special edition sneakers around the world and I actually visited their trade show to check out what's really whats up!!

Fixed Gear Bike

2008-06-03T11:03:00.000-07:00

These days, you could see increasing number of fixed gear bikes (fixie) on the street of Seoul. This bike was one of the progressive bike for completion of Today's bicycle. However, messengers in Today's urban cities still ride fixie for their convenience. And, with Fixie's cool features such as color mix-matching and "no brake", people in the global street scenes are becoming crazy about this bike during last couple of years ago.
Also, there is fixie riders' crew, called "LICENSE", in Seoul. I joined their riding last week. We hung out, ate, and kept on riding all around the city.

Took him to the couple of places that I like in Seoul.

New Year's Day

2008-02-02T00:43:00.000-08:00

B Boy in Korea

2007-12-23T06:08:00.000-08:00

It's been a long time for me to get back to the bloggin'. I've been hustling working at my new work place, "New Balance Korea", within last 2 weeks. Feel so sorry for the late update.

Well, B Boying is "HUGE" in Korea. It has started since 80's here in the streets of Seoul. Each and Every Kids on the street took Street Dancing as a serious matter since then. Recently, this became a pride of Korean Street Culture after the B-Boy crew, called Riverside Crew won the world B Boy Battle championship.
Today, I went out to check out the Biggest B-Boy Battle in Korea with Deuk Hyun(Bonnafide Symphony) in Hong Dae. It was my first time looking at these real Street Dancing freaks in my eyes. Without a doubt, the guys were at the top class level and knew how to dress with right kicks. Street Elements were right there!!

Seoul N Tower

2007-12-07T22:50:00.000-08:00

Couple of days ago, I had a chance to visit Seoul Tower (Koreans call it "NAM SAM TOWER") with Ki-Seung(Dough Company) and Duk-Hyun(Bonnafide Symphony). Well, we picked the wrong day sine it was all flurry and foggy, so we weren't able to see the clear night view of Seoul. Nonetheless, we shared some good thoughts in the middle of Seoul Sky in that night. Got some nice inspiration at a right moment.

Since then, they have expanded their business and became the one who has the most influence and the shops in street market in Korea. Last Saturday was their 10th anniversary and the party was held at the place called Daily Project. This party was "DOPE" I should say, all the people in this industry came out and shared a lot of fun all night long as I did. On my perspective in that night, I felt Korea is building up the gold mountain for Street scene and this will shine in the world soon. People from Stussy, Creative Recreation, and Hundred witnessed this in the same night.

Nam Jun Paik

2007-11-06T19:10:00.000-08:00

There is an exhibition going on in the KBS building for remembering the greatest TV artist, Nam Jun Paik. He was born in Korea but grew up in Germany and did a lot of visual art work around the world back in 70s. His work is reknowned for TV art and the founder of it. But He died couple of years ago. Mad Respect from my heart.. Last week, there was an fashion show which was for the rememberance of him. Honestly, I didn't see the rational way of connecting these two, but loved the art work of Nam Jun Paik. Went there to check out with Da Hae from Men's Health Megazine. Thanks for allowing me to share your VIP seat, DA HAE!!

Rock Band

2007-11-04T01:32:00.000-07:00

Sometimes, I need a freshness from the music, arts, or people that motivates my soul. Last week, my good friend, Bong Guk, who is a front man of Rock Band (Half Brothers), had a concert at the club called Free Bird in Hong Dae. It was good to refresh my mind which I normally get from my normal daily routine. This guy has a real soul of the real punk rock. If you are in my town and need some freshness, look for his band's name, Half Brothers.

Checked out what's going on at the Dundas Square. There was an open Latin market. Nice music and arts.

On the other day, Seungwoo called me up that he got here, T.O. He got his new Canon Rebel XTI, Japanese Vesion, from Korea. So we went out to take some photo at the distillery.

I was sooooo excited to see one of the rare kicks in that afternoon. It's called "ball-out" from Reebok x A-life. It came out with three colour ways, white, orange, and green. But there are only 2,500 Green pairs around the world. Yeah, it was not for sale. I was lucky to smell this pair!!

Sneaker Pimps in Korea

2007-06-05T05:49:00.000-07:00

This time, they came to my home town, Seoul (Soul) City, Korea. "Futura" (the most recognizable artist in Global Graffiti scene) did live painting.

Queen St. West

2007-05-28T22:27:00.000-07:00

I checked out what's going on Queen St. West today. This street represents Toronto's street culture, like music, bycicle, arts, and yeah, "FASHION". I had to keep myself updated no matter what.. This kind of feeling always gives me what I'm living for.

Got off at the Osgoode station and bumped with Brad at Groovy. I'll look forward to have a BBQ at his place.

Street Arts, Graffiti.

Queen St. West. Nice Shops and People there. One of the big things in Toronto's street life is Bycicle. People take it seriously here. So if you wanna be a real people in T.O's street scene, you gotta take it with you here. Yeah, It has become the fashion statement, too.

Moving Day

2007-05-21T18:06:00.000-07:00

I was gonna leave last wednesday for working in Korea. However, due to so much of things to handle in Toronto, I decided to stay here for one more month... Of course, the company was so generous considering my circumstances.

Today, I got rid of some of my furnitures in my place. Sold these black leather sofa that my parents boght in Korea, lamps, a coffee table, and a bed. Seungjin came over to my place to help things out. I thank him so much for all the work. What a trustful guy..

And then we headed to my parents' home to replace the furnitures with what they gave me.. Yeah, I gotta sell those in two weeks, too..

It's a breaktime!! we had a lunch at Sunny Dragon. Every Korean people have Korean style chinese food on a moving day. It is a modern tradition in Korea that having these kinds of noodles during the break. So, definitely, we followed the tradition..

Finally, we dropped off some furnitures at Haru's place. He's living with two girls and a doggy. Nice shot, bro...

I love Summer night!! Weather and the air always smell so sweet and relaxed. Summer arrived in T.O finally. Thus, I went out to Little Italy for SUMMER NIGHT kick off!!

Jenny enjoying her night too

Leather shoe shop and some drunken people who wanted to be in the picture.

Now, it's Kensington Market.. It used to be a Portuguese town, but I can't feel any Portungese blood there. It's more like vitage shopping district now days. Doesn't mean that I hate the fact. I like checking some stuff out there like always.

Cool t-shirt making machine.. gotta get that.

Old school right there, class convertible sedan..

Lastly, Chinatown in the house!! went there for getting the best price for plane ticket to S. Korea and didn't take much of the pictures. Actually, there are two Chinese towns in T.O. One in downtown (Spanida and College) which is older Chinatown. The other one is in Markham and Scarborogh area where many new Chinese immigrants live. I always get so excited whenever I go there.

Well, today, I had a dinner with Junhyun bro. He is one of the few marketing students at York Univ. and my classmate. WE had a good conversation about our future directions and current marketing trends. Anyways, he's going for Backpacking trip to Europe.. he deserves it for studying mad hard during last semester, too.

And then, I took Jenny to a bubble tea shop. We looked through some fashion megazines which were American translated into Chinese. It was fun to see Asian models in American megazines.

Met with Chadol and his cousin a.k.a. Young Guy. We had 5 bottles of Soju, and then my room mate, Kevin, joined around 1:30 am. I felt like getting old because I couldn't stay up till 4 am.. Damn, I used to not understand those of who couldn't stay up late..

My Saturday in the exam period

2007-04-15T00:29:00.000-07:00

Met Jenny at the Starbucks before we went for studying at her school

She was working pretty hard near the end of the term.

And then we went to Yummy's for Korean food. Nice lined up pictures on the wall. I actually order my food from those pictures without looking at the menu.

We headed my place after school. Just had a Yasik (late night meal) and stuying now.
Can't wait till this is over!!!

Easter Sunday

2007-04-08T20:04:00.000-07:00

I woke up late due to the fact that my heavy work put me into a sleep so late last night. Thus, I went to Jenny's church for Happy Easter. After the service, we ate Korean food provided by the Church. As expected, I met my school friends, Junhyun and Jongsoo bro.

On the way back to home, I found a print ad on the train. Actually, it was about the poem for clothing.

Adding to it, Jen and I got kicks and a hat from Goodfoot.

Shoes and Snow

2007-04-05T22:30:00.000-07:00

Got my new pair today, but it's snow time again. Common, it's April now!!! I can't stand with this kind of weather.. it was freaking cold and windy today. Went to school for group meeting and had some chicken at home. Damn, whenever I get new pair, the weather gets worse...

Queen St.

2007-04-01T01:51:00.000-07:00

I felt like going to the Queen St. today, so I did so. Checked out some street clothing and kicks for upcoming season. The weather is getting better and the street is getting more interesting as usual. I love Queen St. This is the right spot for street lovers!

Presentations..

2007-03-30T13:44:00.000-07:00

Marketing is all about presentaton. I mean it takes a major part in marketing. Today, I got school @ 9am and stayed til 10 30pm. And then I gave myself a treat for a beer with two of my advertising project members, Zack and Rick. There were 2 presentations I had to work on, but I decided not to be a spoke person since other heavy school work.
The first one we had was for marketing research class. All students who were taking this course worked together such as making a questionnir, conducting interviews, and analysis. Our group was assigned to work on analysing the data for Unicef. It was crazy at the presentation scene. President of Unicef and Associate dean of York attended our presentation. Such a big pressure. And then, advertising presentation . We made some ads by ourselves and killed the audience. ^^ Presentation day is always exciting..

Yonge and Bloor

Today, I spent for 2 hours to get the sample for my school project. The product we are doing is the chocolate called Neuhaus from Begium.
I bumped into Holt gourmet department where they are the only official carrier of the product. They're not carrying it anymore and recommended some other premium chocolate store. I couldn't find the chocolate and needed any chocolate at the end. So I got this pinky sized chocolate for 2 bucks. Tasted no different than cadbury.

Welcome, Kevin!

2007-03-25T20:19:00.000-07:00

Kevin got back here from San Francisco today. Around 12 am, we chilled out at the Pojangmacha in North York. This place is one of my favorites since back in the highschool days even though the people working there have been changed.

Couple of beers and one bottle of soju we had...

The jokbal (steamed pork leg) was so thin that it melted down once I put it in my mouth. But it's all good.

Kevin got me BAPE catalogue for Winter 2006 and it came with a baby milo doll. Also, he gave me two packs of mild seven which he got it in the dutyfree shop in SF. He said that there are so many Japanese and J-town there. I should go check that place real soon.

HAPPY with a baby milo. He's sitting at my window now.

Distillery, beer, and fight.

2007-03-24T18:36:00.000-07:00

I went to Jen's school as usual on Friday. I checked out her piece which was for lady's jacket. It was decent enough to make me saying "wow". The studio is always busy with her classmates and I feel so weired whenever I get in. Today, one girl with white spiky hair finally threw a word to me and asked me about where I got my Dr. Marten Zebra boot.

And then, we headed to distillery district for a dinner. This place was so Europe and fancy.

There were many artists' studio and galleries around. Now days, they are calling this district "Soho in Toronto". However, we were too late to check out the galleries, so we only had a chance to look at it through window.

We picked this place called "Mill St. brewery" for our dinner. They have this machine to make 10 kinds of beer. I had a couple of pints.

We ordered this "in house platter" and ate like a dog. All of sudden, we got into this argument about how to make a relationship with people around and didn't make a compromise at the end.

I got this canon rebel xti about 2 weeks ago through Jen's friend. Actually, she brought the Japanese version, Kiss digital X, from Korea. I'm so happy to take pictures even though I'm stuck in the library for my exams.
