I worked on both the cover and body text illustrations for the new book by Baek Jong-won, a renowned culinary expert and CEO of The Born Korea, from September to November 2023. Baek Jong-won conducted in-depth research on traditional Korean liqueur by visiting distilleries across the country, and my focus was to visually interpret the stories he wanted to convey.
The illustrations in the book help make the more challenging aspects, such as the different types of liquor, their characteristics, and the brewing process, easier to understand visually. I aimed to create simple yet stylish illustrations that would allow readers to better appreciate the unique appeal of traditional Korean liquors. This book was recognized as a featured recommendation in major newspapers like JoongAng Ilbo and Korea Daily in December 2023.
