Discover everyday Korea beyond trends and filters
Hi, I’m Heid Lee
A traveler, observer, and lifelong Seoulite currently living between Korea and Germany.
Living abroad gave me fresh eyes: what feels natural in Korea can look unusual elsewhere. Translations often miss the nuance, and that’s where this blog comes in.
With this blog, I hope to share a more grounded and thoughtful perspective on Korean trends and daily life — from the view of someone experiencing it in real time and constantly asking why.
Curated Stories for Curious Minds
K-Beauty that evolves with time
Skincare routines shaped by weather, skin needs, and cultural habits, not just marketing.
Everyday Korea beyond the tourist map
From hidden cafés to quiet neighborhoods that reflect everyday Korean life.
Insightful perspectives on Korean life and culture
Fresh takes on beauty, wellness, and trends — exploring both everyday life and what’s shaping Korea today.
Too often, K-trends are oversimplified or exaggerated
Living abroad, I’ve often come across exaggerated or misrepresented versions of Korean culture. That disconnect made me want to share something different.
This blog takes a different approach
✔️ No hype, no viral-only coverage
Not just what’s trending, but what truly matters — and why.
✔️ Focus on why Koreans choose what they do
From skincare to cafés to fashion, the “why” behind real choices.
✔️ Grounded, human, and relatable stories
Everyday habits and experiences that show Korea as it’s actually lived.
If you’re curious about Korea beyond the headlines, the filters, and the buzzwords,
You’re in the Right Place.
