How could visiting Seoul be described in a way that allows someone else to feel like they are right there? What to say? What perspectives to choose? »What Should I Say-About Seoul« takes the reader on a path less traveled: The work and daily-life of Korean designers; but not just as a spectator. Traveling invites the traveler to question one's own perspective. The reader is invited to also learn about Korean designers' views on Germany. The insights found through this process are inspiring as well as challenging. »What Should I Say-About Seoul« gives a glimpse into South Korean society that is not so common after all. The editors focused on the works and experiences of designers. Some of the insights into the Seoul work experience appear grim at places, colored by the ongoing pandemic that forced people to cut down on social interactions. Also included are the experiences of Korean-German designers in the book and through that is could be noticed that there is really no reason to think of Germany as a country that "has it figured out." The modern workplace can be a very mixed bag at times and bad working conditions plague the creative ­industry worldwide. Speaking about these experiences allows us to feel less isolated and work towards change-so it is not all doom and gloom.
