“It seems to me that I can calmly call myself a man of peace: my historical homeland is Korea, I spent my youth in California, and now I live in several cities. One of the first on the list is New York. We stand with each other. Anyone can be a native here, regardless of nationality or skin color. My morning in this city, as well as anywhere in the world, starts with a jog. Oddly enough, the trendy bicycles trend is not close to me, or maybe New York is less inclined to it. I usually have breakfast at Narcissa. This is a Californian farmhouse restaurant that uses seasonal organic produce from Andre Balazs' Hudson Valley farm near New York. In my spare time I run to the museum. You can call me a tourist, but I go to the well-known Natural History Museum,Neue Galerie and the Metropolitan Museum of Art (there is now an excellent exhibition of couturier Charles James, and at the end of July they will open the first retrospective of photographer Harry Winogrand in 25 years). Lunch is at Carbone. Pasta and seafood are cooked there without any fools."

“Shops are another story. Our Opening Ceremony store with Umberto Leon is a collection of everything that New York breathes and for which it has now begun to be copied. I myself collect scarves and jewelry. I love young designers and vintage things equally. In StellDallas there are mountains of things from the 80s and 90s, but there are also rare things from the 50s and 70s. There are three Amarcord stores in New York (one in Soho and two in Brooklyn). In one of them - something like a museum, which stores 50 thousand unique items from the 1800s to the present day. Amarcord also has an online store, which is also very convenient. In the evening my friends and I go to eat again."
Makeup: exclusively natural. There are two options: either the emphasis on the eyes, or on the lips. Deliberate make-up looks strange here

“Bacaro is an excellent Venetian restaurant in Chinatown with an impressive wine menu, mainly from the Veneto region. It is two-story, but small and very romantic. On the second floor there is a bar, on the first floor they dine. There is delicious homemade ice cream! Then you can go to the Angel's Share bar. Few people know about it, it is difficult to find (entrance through the Village Yokocho restaurant) and it is very small, so companies of more than four people are not allowed there. Arthouse and non-Hollywood films I watch at the Sunshine cinema. When people ask me which hotel is better to live here, I advise different people different things. Someone - the oldest Carlyle (where Princess Diana stayed, and on Mondays Woody Allen plays clarinet in a cafe), someone - the super-modern boutique hotel Mercer”.
