Street Peeps는 우리들의 눈길을 끌고 질문을 던지게끔 호기심을 유발하는 이들을 가리킵니다. 아마도 그의 패션이나 태도 혹은 내면에 숨겨져 있는 뭔가가 느껴지기도 하겠죠. 전철 옆자리나 줄을 서서 대기하는 사람이나 혹은 길거리에서 스쳐 지나가는 이들처럼 우리 주변에는 주목할만한 인물이 많고 우리는 그들에게 말을 건내지 않지만 Street Peeps에서는 이 기회를 붙잡아 여러분들께 보여드립니다. 그들은 우리들의 생각보다 재미있고 특별한 동시에 우리와 비슷한 사람들이라는걸 깨달을 수 있어요.
“Street Peeps” are interesting people who, for some reason, catch our eye and make us want to ask, “Who are you and what do you do?” Perhaps it’s their fashion; perhaps it’s their attitude; often, it’s just a feeling that there’s something under the surface that we want to know about. All around us – sitting next to us on the subway, waiting behind us in line, walking past us in the street – there are fascinating and remarkable people, yet we never stop to talk to them. Well, we do, and we bring them to you.
생일파티를 하러 가는 신촌에서 만났던 중학생들이 케리크와 생일 액세서리들을 벌써 준비 되고 있어요. 생일 축하해요!
A gaggle of giddy middle school girls heads off to celebrate a birthday, cake and decorations in tow. Happy birthday, er, one of you!
Share This! 퍼주세요!!!
new trend?
But yeah. Another “Oh, Korea” moment. ><
Whoa! They look “old” to be in middle school. I’m shocked!
Can you tell where tehy got the cake from?
cuteness… ^^
haha i wish i was so young again, and i can do those silly crazy things again
whoa….They look old for middle school girls. I’m shocked!
I may not be in middle school, but I’d stillgo out and be silly like this. Middle schol people aren’t the only young people in the world. Maybe they think so, but they are not.
wow they’re so stylish for middle schoolers
LP — I don’t think they think they’re the only young ppl in the world. They just posed for a pic, man.
#2 — Says “Paris Baguette” on the box. One of them probably bought it on the way to meet each other, and they’ll go eat it in the restaurant they probably headed off to. Most restaurants these days will let you bring a cake for dessert.
Of course. People have been taking cakes to restaurants and bars here like forevr.
1) They don’t look that old. None are balancing on heels way too high and they’re all pretty casually dressed. Typical teenagers, in my opinion.
2) They look like they’re out to have fun (but I do question the fashion angle here…I’m not really seeing anything interesting – but I live in Seoul, sooooooooooooo…maybe I’m just dead to it.)
3) Paris Baguette – that’s where the cake is from. That’s on the box. Actually, everyone doesn’t eat cake in restaurants and bars. It’s a tad bit tacky.
Maybe everyone doesn’t, but I see TONS of people taking cakes to bars and restaurants to eat. Just wait until Christmas Eve and you’ll see. Also, lots of people do the same for birthdays or couple anniversaries.
The attitude of celebrating someone’s birthday is good. Like that.
One thing that is pretty standard, though, is the Paris Baguette cake. They are good, don’t get me wrong, but you don’t see much variety, i.e. somebody doing the cake, for example. Question is, 1) does it have to come from PB to be considered “good/nice” since is a “brand”; 2) is it a matter of “fitting the group”, i.e., as we know, in Korea everybody must do the same; or 3) it’s just lack of option?
Well, there are all different kinds of cakes one can buy. I don’t know if there’s much more/less variety of cakes in Korea than anywhere else — Korea has a lot of bakeries, many of the them large, nationwide ones. I don’t know if say, the US, has even as many as Korea, actually.
Since people generally don’t hang out at home and often celebrate by having to pick up a cake somewhere (and seeing people walking around with cakes going somewhere is very common), you actually have lots of options in terms of cakes being ready to walk out the door, from Paris Baguette to Crown Bakery to Tous les Jous, and then there’s all kinds of smaller chains and independent ones as well. Then you’ve got Baskin Robbins or Dunkin Donuts or Coldstone — cakes just sell well here.
And if you get into Christmas/New Year’s, the cake action is intense in a way that it isn’t in the west. In short, Koreans consume a LOT of cakes to commemorate all kinds of occasions.
THEY seem2be just hanging out together as freinds.. on the way they got those fun accessories ,which they must have thought for fun photography.. and yea well that was fun ..they are casually dressed giving the damn attitude.. but looks cool and trendy and overall it looks fun of the day.. Hope they had a great time!!
I love wakkie glasses, and I am liking the girl on the left’s orange sandal heel shoes.
Also do anyone know where I can get a Korean baked cake or Japanese baked cake in the Bay Area by or in Oakland, Ca.
I have always wanted to try a Korean or Japanese baked cake.
I swear I don’t have the Tourette disorder my comments weren’t showing up at the time I was leaving them.
So FMS please delete some of my comments…..Good lord this is embarrassing.
Haha — I’m sorry. It’s just a funny side-effect of having installed a new list of words that puts comments into moderation mode automatically, where I have to approve them.
The funny thing is that it’s an over-aggressive list I received, and “ass” was on it. Since “glasses” includes “ass”, all your posts got flagged. I’ve delete the duplicates, as you’ve requested.
Sorry about that — we’re just working on finally putting the proper anti-spam and spam comment protection in, and it was a bit too aggressive. All the words it’s watching for now are not parts of normal words anymore. So you can say “glasses” again now, anytime!
Thanks for being patient with us. And no — you don’t have Tourette’s!
I think the best bought cakes in Korea come froma place called Hans Patisserie. I think it may be a small chain, because they aren’t on eevry corner like Paris Baguette. Paris Croissant has good stuff too. Still, homemade cakes made by my Mom and I are my fav!
