Why Busan
Most people who live by the ocean in Busan have never really seenit. It's always there — so close it becomes invisible.
Nomads have a similar problem. We can work from anywhere, but we never stop. Always connected, always on — yet somehow disconnected from ourselves.
Busan taught me how to stop.
The silence at Beomeosa temple before the city wakes up. Walking the Geumjeongsan ridge with no destination. Sitting in a hot spring after a long run along Oncheoncheon, feeling nothing but warm water and cold air. And the people you meet on those paths — not at a conference, not on a screen, but on a trail, at a pojangmacha, watching the bridge lights come on over Gwangalli.
Play is not entertainment. It's reconnecting with yourself.
Not the loop of commute and routine, but a day that wakes up all five senses — a morning run by the stream, recovery in a hot spring, deep work at a quiet cafe, and a walk home along the coast as the sun sets.
That's what we're building. Learn · Work · Play.
Learn · Work · Play — The city is the campus
Aligned with Busan's smart city LWP vision. Not one building — the entire city of Busan becomes a nomad campus.

Drift Racing Engine
We built a browser-based arcade drift racing game from scratch using Three.js. The physics model uses a 3-factor drift system: increased yaw rate, reduced lateral grip, and forward assist during drift.
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Forward Accel | 1950 cm/s² |
| Drag Factor | 0.735 |
| Grip Brake | 1800 |
| Drift Escape Force | 2350 |
| Drift Max Gauge | 3970 |
| Boost Factor | 1.5× |
| Boost Duration | 2900ms |
