A Shot of Soju With: Aaron Choe
Our most recent Shot of Soju interview is with Aaron Choe, a Korean-American photographer, DJ, and independent cinematographer. Aaron is one of those people you meet in Seoul that successfully plugs himself into every creative outlet he can possibly find. From DJing at Exit to shooting independent films to working alongside multiple photographers, Aaron has...
Getting Tattooed in South Korea
“I still can’t believe I’m getting a fucking tattoo.” Tom, a Chincha writer and photographer, breathes out just moments after feeling the needle prick against his thigh. There was no turning back, Tom’s virgin skin was officially inked. Chincha helped Tom get his very first tattoo by setting up an appointment with Johnathan Fleming, a talented...
In Pictures: Jackmaster at Cakeshop
It’s certainly no secret that Glasgow’s champion DJ, Jackmaster, was in town this past Friday night, and it’s also no secret that he killed it.

Chincha features Social Underground’s parties they throw at Exit every month, but this...

They’re known for being the TV hosts of kick-ass Arirang documentary series, Semipermanent Seoul, and for being co-owners of...
In Pictures: Social Underground #12
Social Underground did us dirty by making everyone wait 42 days for this month’s event. But we easily forgive them because this past Saturday’s SU party was definitely well worth the wait. Club Exit was a full house and for good reason; SU brought in nothing but the finest to celebrate their first installment of...
A Shot of Soju With: Multi Seoul
Being one of the most prominent underground party promoters in the city, Multi Seoul is certainly no stranger to Chincha.

These boys are constantly cooking up a...
