About

Hello and welcome. Soyomoment is a space dedicated to the beauty, culture, and everyday inspirations found in Korea. This blog was created to share thoughtful insights, slow moments, and personal experiences from time spent between Seoul, the UK and Sweden.

Here you’ll find detailed guides, practical tips, and honest stories about Korean lifestyle and culture. From temple food and seasonal wellness to design, beauty, and off-beat travel, everything shared on Soyomoment comes from real experiences and a genuine love for Korea’s quiet details.

Why “Soyomoment”?

Soyomoment (소요, 逍遙의 순간) comes from the Korean word “소요”, meaning a calm, simple, and meaningful moment. The Chinese characters 逍遙 add the feeling of peaceful wandering. It reflects the pauses in life where inspiration appears — a cup of tea, a quiet temple morning, or a walk through Seoul’s back streets.

What You’ll Find Here

• Korean beauty and skincare insights
• Temple stay culture, rituals, and food
• Seoul travel for curious, design-minded readers
• Korean lifestyle, traditions, and modern trends
• Illustrated Korean food inspired by daily life

Soyomoment is for readers who enjoy culture, design, slow travel and the softer side of everyday life in Korea.

The Voice Behind Soyomoment

Soyomoment is created by a design-led storyteller with years of experience observing how people live across Korea and Europe. My background in creative direction and user experience helps me notice the small details — seasonal food, cultural rituals, materials, textures, and everyday habits — the same elements that shape the stories on this blog.

I write from first-hand experience, curiosity and a deep interest in Korean culture and lifestyle. No AI-written content or stock travel posts. Everything here is original and crafted with care.

My Goal

The goal of Soyomoment is to make Korean lifestyle and culture approachable, inspiring and beautifully simple. Whether you’re planning a trip, learning about Korea or simply enjoy slow, aesthetic storytelling, I hope these moments bring a little warmth into your day.
