YOON SHUN

Korean artist Yoon Shun has been calling Antwerp home for the past five years, but Seoul is where he was born and raised. The city shaped the way he sees, collects and creates. Together we created I Know Most of Them, a series of twelve aluminium masks each capturing twelve different faces and emotions. Today he takes us through his favourite spots in the city he knows best.

Definitely a cocktail at Cobbler, a bar where the bartenders craft your drink based on their impression of you. It's a unique experience.
