One thing I'm really proud about being a part of on Steemit is the energized and growing KR community. We see a real enthusiasm coming out of South Korea for an innovative take on social media and for good reason – Steemit has empowered a massive amount of people of all ages to dive deep into their interests and reward them for their sharing. Getting to know people, collaborate on their ambitions, and overall be a part of a movement to upturn what is widely considered a cultural rut has been an incredible experience.
But the best perk of all? All of the goodies!
With this widespread enthusiasm in South Korea, many have taken to creating all the gear to bring Steemit to our daily lives. An emerging kr-market hashtag has taken the community by storm and we're all itching to spend our Steem Dollars on some cool swag.
Today, I'll look at some awesome creators who have made some unique products with the energy of Steem. As always, I'll be distributing all the Steem Dollars earned on this series to the people I showcase.
“Sopoom” means “item” in Korean and there is no better word to describe @classic-sopoom's focus on Steemit. He creatively produces unique items by hand, often incorporating his enthusiasm for Steemit in the production.
This post really put @classic-sopoom on the map for me, seeing craftiness put to work for a past-time I used to enjoy quite a bit (and still on occasion enjoy a cigarette ;]). The design is great and the level of detail is undeniable. Plus its a great little bit of swag in South Korea which is still very much a high smoking nation.
@Classic-sopoom님 다음에 공방에 찾아뵙겠습니다!
When we launched Steem Park and @roychoi came to visit the project from Korea, we knew that we had to take advantage of some personalized delivery from the other side of the world (hehe). One of the earliest bits of Steemit-centered goodies was @cljg918's awesome t-shirts. He offered a diversity of vibrant colors and the logo seemed beautifully stitched on.
After getting them, I can attest to their quality. I will for sure be ordering more in the future and I wanted to give him a spotlight in case any of you wanted to see if he made international deliveries!
@Cljg918님, 티셔츠 얼마나 잘 입고있는지 아시죠!
Speaking of personalized delivery, another awesome surprise was @Kimhyeran's own white and black Steemit wristbands!! They're super durable and a great signal of Steemit's growing presence in everyday life. She has been a very strong KR community member since joining and this is probably one of the best products to symbolize her commitment to community bonds.
Energizing Steem Park! w/ @prufarchy, @roychoi, @voronoi
@Kimhyeran님, 팔찌 정말 인기 많습니다! 다들 뺏으려 합니다 ㅎㅎ
KR 커뮤니티에는 아이템을 사고팔며 나누는 문화가 있습니다. 미국에서는 공짜 아이템이 자주 있는 일이 아니기에 @roychoi님이 스팀 공원 오셨을 때도 공짜 배너에 다들 너무 좋아했죠. 이벤 에피소드에는 스팀에서 입고 사용할 수 있는 것을 커뮤니티와 나누는 KR 엑티비티, 그리고 멋진 아이템들을 만들어주신 (뉴비) 유져분들을 소개했습니다.
KR 에만 머물기 아쉬운 글들, 외국인들이 궁금해 하는 KR 커뮤니티! 꾸준히 좋은 컨텐츠를 만들어주시는 작가님들을 영어권에게 소개 합니다. 이 글의 수익금 SBD는 작가님들께 나눠 드립니다.
As always, 100% of the SBD payout will be granted to the featured users. One last thing, be sure to drop by the #kr group and say hello! More and more of us are trying to establish those cultural bridges with bilingual posts so as long as your comments aren't super spammy (these days, many are), we'd love your engagement.
That's all for Lost in Translation today! I've been a bit sidetracked with work but I'll be sure to keep bringing the most promising and productive KR-newbies to the international community! Steem on~
