Kim Dam-bi, 30, runs a tea room in a 90-year-old hanok, or traditional Korean house, and directs experience-focused workshops and events on the themes of tea, incense, music and meditation.
Like many in contemporary society who are exposed to vast amounts of information daily, she often feels stressed as a result of the tech and social media overload.
"In the 21st century, people are always exhausted because they stare at computers and smartphones for many hours. I want to keep their eyes from feeling tired and turn their attention to their other senses," she said.
