Project: EXOTIC DESTINATION in Seoul

Creative Direction, Photography, Styling

EXOTIC DESTINATION in Seoul is an editorial project that explores the unfamiliar sides of the city through spontaneous urban movement.

TAPA House directed the shoot across back alleys, crosswalks, underground passages, and a rooftop teahouse in Mullae-dong—locations chosen for their raw, overlooked charm.

Rather than polished or predictable spots, we aimed to capture Seoul as a city of contrasts: gritty yet beautiful, familiar yet strange.

From dodging incoming teahouse guests to sipping ssanghwatang between takes, the process itself became part of the story.
