Loose Union Presents:
There is a line that the Loose Union guys have come up with that keeps reverberating in our minds here at Chincha: ‘Seoul is much cooler than you thought’. As a new video and music production company based in Seoul, it is this conviction that motivates the mission of the group – to document the underground...
Pictureplane
Last weekend saw Pictureplane take to the floor of EXIT Bar in Hongdae. Having spent a lot of time at EXIT in the last year, it seemed like an odd venue choice as the space inside is small and there is no stage for artists to perform on. That said, it was a pleasant surprise...
