hi,
my name is illa and today is my third day as a PLATOON team member in seoul.
a few things about me: i was born in seoul and went to germany - to be exact: kiel - when i was eleven, so i think i'm kind of a 1.5sae (one and a half generation), as koreans like to call it. In korean there are really definitions for everything to sum things up nicely but shouldn't mean anything... for instance i'm also a kieler sprotte, admittedly a bit mitte-schickse and a star wars nerd, try to sum that up :)
after studying fashion design in berlin i worked in a PR agency called markengold PR. i lived in Germany for 18 years and though i already miss berlin a lot i'm thrilled to be in seoul and really live in the city and not just spend my holidays once a year.
Despite my love for the city i know that seoul, especially gangnam is a tough place for subculture. When i first came to a KUNSTHALLE event i realized that this (for me then) unfathomable group of people is establishing something unique here and i wanted to be a part of it. and now that i am, can't wait to get involved!
i'll keep you posted
p.s. last but not least, a project that i really support:
