Interview with the NYC-based illustrator Jungyeon Roh.<\/h2>\n

I love Korea.<\/strong>
\nFirst of all, South Korea got the most beautiful girls on earth.
\nSouth Korean girls cuteness is an absolute scientific fact.
\nSouth Korea got the best movies on earth (check my selection of amazing Korean movies<\/a> I did for a french website).
\nAnd they also produce great artists like Jungyeon.
\nJungyeon’s artworks mix Asian and Western culture in a very modern and nice way.
\nThe artist tells us more about the working process behind the art, and let us know who are the major influences behind the drawings.
\nI told you, I love Korea.
\nOh, and they got kimchi too.<\/p>\n

[Update] This article was written before the whole K-Pop phenomena.
\nJust to make things clear, I hate K-Pop<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
