ABOUT:
HWATU HARMONY
“There's a noticeable gap between my parents' generation and mine. Although we share the same family name, our perspectives and experiences differ, creating a sense of distance. However, playing the card game "Hwatu" brings us together, helping us forget our differences and enjoy shared emotions. It makes me wonder why I focused only on the differences instead of seeking things that connect us. This game has become a tradition in my family.
As the world evolves and the distance between my parents and me grows, this simple card game will always remind us that we are one. In the end, we're all humans seeking fun, we just happened to be shaped by the eras we were born into.”
-DeeKay
