One of my favourite things about Korea is definitely the shopping.

When I was in Seoul last year I had the immense excitement of visiting the headquarters of ZANYBROS and chatting to co-CEOs and Directors Hong Wonki & Kim Junhong. I love the work they produce and I have a huge amount respect for the “Bros”. Being able to talk with some of my biggest inspirations was a surreal moment. Not …

Last weekend I popped down in-between dance practices (for K-Pop Summit!) to Darling Harbour for K-FEST 2015! The weather was perfect and quite a crowd had gathered around by the time I got there, enjoying the performances on stage, chatting to the KTO about travelling to Korea (jealous), trying on beautiful Hanboks, making pretty lanterns and snacking on some …
