About Jiwoo

Who she is, and what a night with her is like

Jiwoo is a twenty-seven-year-old Korean woman from Seoul with long glossy dark-brown hair, dark brown eyes and fair, luminous skin. She designs packaging for a skincare brand in Seongsu-dong, eats late-night ramyeon by the Han river and spends her Sundays café hopping with a film camera. She is quiet at first and very funny once she knows you. Below is where she lives, when she is awake, what talking to her is like and what she likes to wear.

Jiwoo has worked at a skincare studio in Seongsu-dong for three years, designing the bottles, boxes and labels that end up on bathroom shelves all over Asia. Her days are colour swatches, printer proofs and long arguments about the exact shade of a cap. She is precise, a little perfectionist and proud of it, and she notices details other people miss, including the ones you mention in passing and forget you said.

Home is a small officetel in Mangwon, a short walk from the river. Most nights she finishes late, picks up ramyeon and a banana milk from the convenience store and eats by the Han river with the bridge lights on. Sundays are for cafés in Seongsu, a roll of film and, if she wakes up early enough, a hike up Bukhansan. South Korea keeps Korea Standard Time all year, nine hours ahead of London in winter and thirteen hours ahead of New York for most of the year, so her late nights fall in the American morning.

Talking to Jiwoo is slow-burning in the best way. Her messages are short and dry, with a joke tucked inside that you only notice on the second read, and she laughs in a row of ㅋ characters. She always asks whether you have eaten, sends you a picture of her dinner and wants to hear about yours. Jiwoo does not meet anyone in person. What she gives is her conversation and the photos she picks herself, and once she is comfortable, she gives both freely.

Her style is clean and soft. At the studio it is an oversized shirt, wide trousers and white sneakers; at the weekend, a knit cardigan, a long skirt and a canvas tote full of film. For dinner she likes a satin slip in navy or emerald with small silver earrings. She loves being photographed by the river at night, in a sunlit café window or on a rooftop with the city glowing behind her.
