ten shits we like, about korea

1) duhh...james!

he's the mean, lean, fighting machine with blood from seoul, and a soul out for blood.

2) kimbob

korean sushi. a little less raw, a lot more flavor! who needs a fuckin california roll?

3) kimchi

the most common banchan (side dish) of korean food, kimchi is tasty, healthy, and great for the digestive tract!

4) kim jong il....not!

stop throwing missiles at us with creepy victory songs!!!

5) kunjip

okay, so we really love korean food, but have you had it? it's amazing! everyone shares, the fish pancakes will kill you with satisfaction, and they keep bringing out side dishes like those unbearably cute pickled radishes. and it's in the heart of koreatown, which is like a slice of the homeland right here in nyc

6) margaret cho

she's mainly known as a comedian, but this woman really does everything. she directs, writes, has some clothing line, and supports gay rights. 잘 했어요!

7) alexandra nam

our other korean seoul sister and an amazing addition to the design community of new york. she's gone for a bit this summer, but her return will be celebrated, there's no doubt of that.

8) never forever

james loves this film about a woman who must seek another man's seed when her husband can't sire her child.


9) the words "chamgee" and "chogay"

you have to be korean or ask us what these words mean.

10) k-pop!




and remember, koreatown is just a walk, car, or train away at 34th bet 5th and 6th!


and and and! coco's on style.com.
