Using colored whipped cream, a technique Lee Gang-bin calls "ice cream paintings," mundane coffee mugs have become great works of art. “The barista usually only uses 2 colors: white and black. But I want to break that limit

Korea is very famous for its huge entertainment industry, but very few people know about the coffee culture here. Many people think coffee is simply coffee, but for me, it is the bridge between people and people ”. Lee's cafe is so crowded that he only gets to sleep a few hours a day.
