She is a haenyeo in her sixth year of diving at Iho Tewoo Beach, documenting the landscapes of Jeju both above and below the sea with a camera attached to her tewak. While diving, she has continuously recorded marine life and the everyday rhythms of the haenyeo community, paying particular attention to the lives of elder haenyeo, including her mother. As a member of the coral research team at the Marine Citizen Science Center Paran, she conducts monthly coral monitoring around Munseom and Beomseom, documenting changes in the sea through photographs. Experiencing the realities of the ocean and the signs of climate change firsthand led her to a firm conviction that these moments must be recorded. Encounters with underwater waste and damaged marine ecosystems have given her documentation a clearer sense of direction. She has since taken part in documentaries, broadcasts, and citizen science projects as a witness to the sea, sharing Jeju’s ocean from the perspective of a haenyeo. More recently, she has also been involved in the Life on Jejuproject, listening to and connecting the stories of village elders and fellow haenyeo. Going forward, she hopes to compile these voices and lived experiences into a book that preserves the language and texture of haenyeo life and continues to be read over time.

Living in Jeju, he records life on the island through words and voice. Moving between radio and podcasts, he travels across Jeju, sharing stories of its people and villages. He studied fine art, but entered broadcasting through voice acting, later working in news production and editing at a major network in Seoul before relocating to the island. These days, he supports his wife as she pursues her path as a haenyeo, while building relationships within the village community through action rather than words. Moving across broadcasting, education, and community life, he continues to create stories rooted in Jeju.

She was born and raised in Switzerland and has been living in Korea for over a decade. What began as travel and personal connections gradually turned into a decision to stay. She is now based in Jeju, working as a freelance illustrator. She collaborates with international publishers, focusing mainly on book covers and interior illustrations, often drawing figures and imaginative scenes rooted in literature and mythology. Her work is primarily based on analogue painting using acrylics on paper, followed by minimal digital adjustments after completion. Alongside this, she continues to document Jeju’s landscapes in sketchbooks, transforming them into prints and handmade art zines. Looking ahead, she plans to develop projects that reinterpret Korean and Jeju folklore through her own fantasy illustration language, as well as a book collecting her drawings made on the island.

Jung Boram worked in the fashion and clothing industry in Seoul for over ten years. Seeking possibilities beyond industry-driven fashion, he moved to Jeju to explore clothing made in closer relationship with nature. He now grows organic cotton in Gwangpyeong-ri, Andeok-myeon, and works across the entire process from seeds to thread, fabric, and finished garments. Early in his life on the island, he spent a month walking Jeju without a mobile phone, an experience that became a turning point in how he saw the land and its people. From that time, he shaped the idea of “doing fashion through agriculture,” connecting natural materials and inspiration directly to design. Mokhwaoreum is not just a farm, but a place where farming, making, festivals, and exchange come together, as he continues to experiment with sustainable markets and new ways of working.

Originally from Poland, she has lived in Korea for 17 years and has been based in Jeju for the past four, building her daily life on the island.

She first came to Korea on a government scholarship, later settling through work and marriage, and eventually chose Jeju after experiencing burnout from corporate life in Seoul.

A close encounter with haenyeo during her travels left a strong impression, leading her to write a novel inspired by their lives and, ultimately, to move to Jeju herself.

While walking along the shore, she began collecting colorful shells, which grew into a craft practice using materials gathered from the Jeju sea to create everyday objects such as norigae and bookmarks.

As interest in her work led to sales, she expanded into one-day classes and offline events, continuing to find new ways to introduce the story of Jeju’s shells to a wider audience.

A creative artist who explores the intersection of traditional arts and digital technology, reinterpreting the emotions and narratives of tradition through a contemporary lens. She leads Insphere, a creative studio that brings together media art, performance, and digital technology, founded from her background in traditional dance and a desire to help its inner stories resonate more deeply with modern audiences. The name Insphere combines inspiration and atmosphere, reflecting a vision of spaces that connect people, art and technology, and tradition and the future. Since settling in Jeju, the island’s myths, rituals, and rhythms of life have naturally shaped her work, with digital technology used as a tool to reveal what cannot be seen. Her practice often transforms space itself through light and media, becoming a central element in performances and exhibitions. Grounded in collaboration with local artists and a commitment to creating sustainable cultural work, Insphere is now preparing to connect Jeju with a wider global audience.

Living in Jeju, he continues to balance work, everyday life, and music side by side. Having been in Korea for over a decade, he now lives a life closely woven into the island’s daily rhythms. Drawing from his background as a musician active in Hongdae, he still steps onto the stage from time to time, keeping music as a steady part of his life. At home, he brews makgeolli, makes traditional soju, and tends a small garden, valuing time spent learning through his hands. He is also well acquainted with local markets, neighborhood eateries, and the quieter paths of Jeju that most people pass by. Seeing Jeju through the lens of daily living rather than tourism, he moves through the island at his own pace and in his own rhythm.

Rooted in blues, folk, and rock, she has built a body of work that sings quietly but firmly about the textures of everyday life. Since her debut in 2005, she has spent two decades making music at her own pace, choosing her own language rather than following trends. Her low, resonant voice and restrained yet steady lyrics give her songs a lasting presence. In 2025, she released a special album marking the 20th anniversary of her debut. The album reflects both a careful look back on the road she has traveled and a clear intention to continue living and singing through music. Years of moving between the stage and daily life have shaped Kang Huh Dalrim into an artist of deeper focus and quiet strength.
