Three Global Artists Connect with Seoul

After the success of the previous two branded content films, PNXT partnered with BBC StoryWorks again to produce a new series of three branded content films as part of a new 2019 campaign “Uniquely Korean” for Korean Air and its Go Korean brand platform.

The series titled Korean Connections tells the stories of three expatriates who have relocated from their countries of origin and have now based themselves in Korea. Featuring street photographer, Noe Alonzo, well-known for his night photography; Chef Manual Manazo, owner of the popular restaurant ‘The Xef’; and fashion designer, Sandra Meynier Kang, creator of SMK, an eco-friendly and sustainable fashion brand.
