Toyoung, born in Japan and raised in Korea, expresses herself through pottery and gimbap, a Korean staple consisting of seaweed, rice, and other savory fillings.

She recently opened her own gimbap shop in Seoul with her best friend where all of her food is served on the pottery she makes in a small town outside of the city.
