Incheon Now vol.48

This month’s special issue story concerns FIT, the Fashion Institute of Technology, which is opening

in New York State University in Korea. FIT is one of the top five fashion schools in the world and

many of its graduates have become internationally-renowned fashion designers. In addition, we

report on the Songdo Light Festival, which illuminates Songdo under the theme, “Songdo Urban

Light Garden.” We also report on the Culture Night event at Incheon port and “Jjimjilbang,” Korean

spa complexes now popular with tourists who, like Koreans, wish to enjoy a place of body rest

and healing. Onggi, traditional Korean earthenware, have always been a necessity for Koreans

who enjoy fermented foods such as Kimchi, Gochujang, and Deonjang. Our story reveals Korean

culture through this unique bowl, which can be found in most korean homes.
