Taeoh was born in Busan, South Korea before his family immigrated to the United States when he was eight years old. His father was a project engineer for Gamcheon Culture Village before he made a switch to a mechanic, while his mother was a communications worker.
Growing up in both the west and east coasts, he felt he collected a variety experiences to write about in his worldly journal. Although, he also had unsavoury experiences in his childhood, especially when he was sent to a delinquent ranch to Montana, because his parents mistaken it for a vacation destination flyer. However, that never deterred his determination in maintaining fluency in both Korean and English.
He graduated from Columbia with a B.A. in English Literature in 2018, though not without conflict with his parents. In the span of several years, he worked with companies such as VICE, medium.com, NY Post. Taeoh moved back to Busan, before ultimately settling in Seoul for work, at the age of 25 in 2022.
Q: how many years of experience do you have in the industry?
hmm.. about a year or two. i began as an editorial intern in some unknown startup, then worked as an journalist for two years at medium.com before i landed the gig here.
Q: what was your reason for going into the fashion business
well, i’m definitely more of a “simple is best” type of guy when it comes to my personal style. and these high end brands were just out of my budget. however, i gained an interest in following the stories behind the development, how they arrived at these core values. i’m amazed by how much an inch towards a vision can go a long way.
Q: why work for elle, specifically, instead of other magazines
it’s for the normal person who has bourgeoisie taste.
Q: tell us a fun project you’ve done/would like to do while in the company
personally, i would love to explore the fashion present in gamcheon culture village and write about a company trip there! it’s also a good way to connect with my roots, in a country i both consider home and estranged from.
