Hello everyone. As mentioned in my last post, I am currently in the middle of packing and preparing for the move.

To make sure I can dive right into shooting with the perfect setup as soon as I arrive at the new workshop, I wanted to get your thoughts in advance.

Please look at the three images (A, B, C) and leave a comment with the letter of the image you prefer most in terms of brightness and color.

*** A: Slightly bright with deep, rich colors**
*** B: Quite dark with muted, soft colors**
*** C: Slightly dark with deep, rich colors**

(I’m asking for comments because the YouTube poll images are too small to see the details properly. Click the image to view it in full detail.) Your choice will be highly valuable for the first video in the new studio.

Thank you always.

It has been three weeks since I uploaded my last video, and these days I’ve been packing my belongings myself to move into a new workshop. While packing, I also found a wooden box filled with old tools that I used a long time ago.

The moving day is June 15, and it takes about 3 hours and 30 minutes to drive there from here. In Korea, where the land is relatively small, that is considered quite a long distance.

It is a very small countryside village where heavy snow falls and the winters are extremely cold. I’m already looking forward to this winter.

And since I haven’t been able to work for the past three weeks, I really want to get back to making shoes as soon as possible. I’ll continue to stay in touch with you through community posts from time to time.

Thank you always.

I won’t be able to continue working for a while as I prepare to move to a new workshop.
It may take some time before the next video is uploaded.
The new workshop will be a place I’ve always wanted to work in.
I’ll share updates through email and the channel’s community posts.


Thank you always.

The pattern is finally complete. I've also updated my camera settings for this project. I'd love to know if these images are comfortable to view, so please share your thoughts in the comments regarding the brightness, color, and overall visual quality.

The project currently in progress is a uniquely designed full brogue wingtip Oxford shoe.
As this is a design I am attempting for the first time, I am proceeding very carefully with the pattern-making process.
Today, I will complete the pattern, and tomorrow I plan to make a trial upper to check if there are any areas in the pattern that need adjustment.

Today, I have decided to close the channel membership program.
The reason is simple.
I have not been able to actively create members-only content, and I do not feel it is right for members to continue being charged without me providing meaningful additional value.

I sincerely appreciate everyone who has supported the channel through membership.
Your support has meant a great deal to me.

From now on, I will focus on creating the best possible content for everyone.

The original footage I filmed exceeds 2 terabytes.
As I tried to capture every detail as thoroughly as possible, the amount of footage grew quite large.
Originally, I planned to create a video longer than 3 hours.

However, knowing that many viewers watch on their phones, I felt that length might be too long for them, so I edited this video down to 2 hours and 20 minutes.

There are no subtitles in this video. Instead, if you have any questions, please leave a comment with the timestamp. I will then add subtitles at the specific points you’re curious about.

The video will be uploaded tomorrow. Based on this video, I will decide whether the next one should be more detailed and longer, or simpler and shorter.

Focusing on the work while filming is still very difficult for me.

As always, thank you.

I’ve read all of your comments carefully.
I understand that some of you are comfortable watching long videos even on your phones, while others may find a long runtime a bit challenging.
I’m currently editing the video and will see you very soon with a new upload.

According to the poll conducted yesterday, 70% of respondents said they watch my videos on their phones.

However, my YouTube analytics show that about 50% of my viewers actually watch on TV. Since this poll was not visible to TV viewers, that may be one reason many of them were unable to participate.

Watching a nearly two-hour video on a phone must have been quite demanding.
That said, I do not plan to make 20–30 minute videos.
Instead, I will carefully consider a video length that feels comfortable for mobile viewers while still being satisfying for TV viewers, and reflect that balance in my upcoming work.

Thank you to everyone who took part in the poll.
