Trying out Gonggi (공기), a traditional Korean game that involves tossing and catching small pebbles or plastic pieces, is not only fun but also a great way to engage with Korean culture. My first time playing Gonggi was at the Seoul Edit event held in the Beverly Center, where participants could win prizes by demonstrating their skills. The experience was both challenging and rewarding. Gonggi requires good hand-eye coordination and quick reflexes. As a beginner, I found the game slightly tricky at first but quickly got the hang of it after a few rounds. The excitement of competing and trying to win something made the event even more enjoyable. Winning a BYUR sheet mask featuring Pompompurin—the adorable Sanrio character—was the highlight of my day. Sheet masks are an essential part of K-beauty skincare routines, known for their hydrating and soothing benefits. Receiving this prize motivated me to explore more K-beauty products and practices. Participating in such events at venues like the Beverly Center is a great way to discover new trends in beauty and culture while having fun. If you get a chance, I highly recommend trying Gonggi yourself—it’s a delightful blend of game and culture that anyone can enjoy!
