Hokhodang Magazine 'TOKEVI' Inaugural Preparation Issue Vol.0 My Family Through difficult and lengthy times, what has remained unbroken and continuous, and the living traditions that breathe even in this moment—this is our inaugural preparation issue. This is not about special family secrets or grand family histories. It is a record of stories close to us: side dish recipes passed from grandmother to mother that will disappear if I don't learn them, the simple parenting methods of a grandmother who raised four children and grandchildren, old objects like wrapping cloths and straw ropes, books and music that still move our hearts despite the passage of time, and the wisdom of life handed down from deeply wrinkled hands to soft ones—that is the real tradition we must continue today. This issue features the theme of 'My Family,' capturing our traditions as we each preserve them in our own way, regardless of family size or structure. Just as in the folktale 'Grandmother Red Bean Porridge and the Tiger,' family is a relationship where we share together and protect one another, whether bound by blood or not. Perhaps the unchanging values and warmth contained within are the essence that has continued to this day through fairy tales and songs, old objects and seasonal customs.
Sourced straight from the official Korean shop. We purchase it on your behalf, receive it at our Seoul hub where we confirm it’s the right item and check the exterior for damage — sealed items stay sealed — then repack it safely for the trip overseas. You can follow every step in your order timeline.
