Celebrating Korean-American Komerican life and the immigrant experience with defiant joy. Made with heART.
Our Ingredients
What makes a good Komerican Pie? Here are three main ingredients…
A Komerican lifestyle zine for everyone. Re-learn how to read with real pages you can touch and feel with our 40-page full-color printed mini-magazine! Get ready for some snail mail or read us online with a “page-flip” digital edition.
“KP Care Packages” made with heART. A care package sent to you with our zine and other treats, goods, novelty items, and paper art made by us and small businesses with big love. We curate each package around a fun theme every season!
“IRL Social” events for real humans. Have fun in real life again and in the flesh! Connect over shared values (see below!) all across the U.S. and beyond a tap or click… NO bots allowed!
Our Values
Live an unhyphenated life.
We are whole and everything – not the dashes between our identities.
Transmute han into wisdom and defiant joy.
We meet the discomfort and injustices of life and awaken to their lessons. We overcome challenges for ourselves, our ancestors, and our future. We use the bad to make us great and we celebrate this.
Embrace the universal in the specific.
We trust our offerings resonate beyond our Komerican roots. We respect human stories from all walks of life — not just the viral ones.
Center self-sovereignty.
We have autonomy over our thoughts, beliefs and actions. We reject colonizing traditions and center our health, comfort and joy.
Build symbiotic community.
We aim to offer beneficence and welcome it back. We are bound together and the energy between us impacts us all.
Make heART.
We create art with heart and need both to live full and happy lives.
Love yourself. Love everybody.
We know loving ourselves first helps us love others better.
Show us some love and and follow @komericanpie!
