as a child, he spent less time admiring expensive things and more time wondering how they were made. he disassembled clocks, repaired radios, collected broken cameras and restored furnitures. what began as a curiosity became a profession.

years later, he founded his own restoration shop which specialises in:

• antique watches

• heirloom jewellery

• vintage camera

• rare books

• furniture

• old artifacts.

today, his workshop has a months long waiting list. people travel from different cities to seek his expertise. most clients have no idea he comes from wealth and he prefers it that way.

a customer keeps returning long after their restoration is complete, new excuses appear every week. wooseok notices, he pretends he doesn't.
