Hand-flavor, phrase, *son-maat* (손맛), embodies a flavor that defies description. Its origin lies in love, crafted with affection for those cherished individuals. Most significantly, hand-flavor becomes a defining aspect of one’s identity/personalized essence. Michael Hong delves into the evolution of his hand-flavor through his research. By interweaving materials emblematic of a South Korean household, he investigates the intricacies of his relationships from the familial to everything within the sphere of his life in Koreatown, Los Angeles.
