Lost in Konglish
Lost in Konglish is the project that I started in 2015. ‘Konglish is the use of English words or words derived from English words in a Korean context’. Nowadays, language alteration in South Korea’s been an issue for the past years. A number of Korean words have disappeared and have been replaced by an English equivalent. This book conveys the ironical state of the Korean language alteration by creating Korean written letterforms with English letters.
