“L'ARBRE DES POSSIBLES,” written by Bernard Werber, was the inspiration for the catalogue and advertising. I needed to find the best location to shoot the advertising. I finally discovered a small, but great island with an old tree.
Every Christmas Eve, there is a special dinner with jazz and Yoonheejung’s husky voice. Also, there are always new themes: Western & Eastern, Old & New, and Sweet & Bitter. I've worked for the Jazz musician for 5 years, and it was more than fun.
The event, “APEC Investment Opportunities,” was held in Busan. There was much pressure to satisfy the special clients.

This project has a specific purpose. Every year Korean Ministry of Culture and Tourism divides its budget into several departments in

The book is the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup public relations book for foreigners. This book describes the characteristics of 15 streets in Korea. For instance, specialties, maps, and cultural events of each area are included. We called this book “FOOT.” “FOOT” has two related
meanings. One is a foot, as in a device for walking and touring, and the other one is soccer, which is a World Cup game. Naturally, you use your feet for walking. You can see everything while you are walking on the street.
