Beyond the K-label.
The Kosmosis is an independent quarterly journal that captures the overlooked beauty of everyday Korean life. From the radiant form of Korean Cool to the heartbeat of streetscapes, from neighborhoods enduring comfort to fashion as a life statement, this publication reveals the moments that make Korea what it truly is.
Vol. 01: Perspectives, Places and People.
Written entirely in English, this 116-page inaugural issue explores Korea through three lenses — how we see it, where we live it, and who embodies it. Every photo, every word, every design choice is crafted by a single vision.
Created by Seoul Goodman — a multidisciplinary storyteller whose experiences across Korea, Europe, APAC, and the Americas inform his perspective — The Kosmosis offers a deeper, more nuanced understanding of Korean culture beyond the headlines.
