Welcome to barange: A Visual Archive of Seoul’s Aesthetic Spaces
Hi, I’m the creator behind barange.
I am a photographer based in Seoul, South Korea, with a deep passion for capturing the quiet harmony between light, shadow, and architectural design. This blog is a curated digital archive where I document the most inspiring cafes, bakeries, and cultural spaces across the city.
Beyond Just a Review
In a city that moves as fast as Seoul, it is easy to miss the delicate details of a well-crafted space. My mission is to slow down and observe. Every post on this blog is more than just a recommendation; it is a photographic record of the artistry found in Korea’s modern cafe culture. From 50-year-old historic bakeries to minimalist modern roasteries, I aim to show the soul of each location through my lens.
My Philosophy
I believe that a great cup of coffee is best enjoyed in a space that tells a story. Whether it’s the way sunlight filters through a Hanok’s wooden beams or the bold industrial lines of a contemporary roastery, I focus on the visual storytelling of space.

Why I Created barange
I started this blog to share the sophisticated and diverse “K-Cafe” culture with a global audience. For travelers looking for mindful experiences and locals seeking artistic inspiration, I provide high-quality visual content and practical insights to help you find your next favorite spot in Seoul.
Thank you for joining me on this journey to discover the aesthetic essence of the city.
