How Korean Gen Z Is Decorating Everyday Items
Korea's younger generation is embracing a new DIY trend called "Bol-Kku", or ballpoint pen decorating. By adding beads, charms, and colorful parts to everyday items like pens, keycaps, keyrings, people are turning simple objects into unique expressions of personal style. The trend has even brought new energy to Seoul's Dongdaemum craft market, where many young visitors now shop for decoration materials. Affordable, creative, and highly shareable on social media, this decorating culture reflects how Gen Z in Korea combines hands-on creativity with online expression.

They are tomorrow's inventory for clothing shops scattered across the country, and they are about to be loaded into vans that will drive through the night.

How a tumbler quietly became the most Seoul accessory of 2026
The thing about cafes in Seoul right now is that the bag on the seat next to you tells you more than the drink in front of you. A canvas tote, a paperback in Korean, AirPods in the front pocket, and somewhere in there, almost always, a tumbler. Usually steel. Usually a little dented.
