One in a Million is a pale pink coffee shop in the heart of Seoul’s Itaewon neighborhood, staffed by a few beautiful male model baristas with the pithy tagline, “You are one in a million.” It is the perfect meeting spot for the standout Hyun Min Han, the 6-foot-2 biracial Korean spotted on every other runway this season and breaking down the country’s barriers.
It is here in Itaewon that Han, 15, has spent all his life, born to a Korean mother and Nigerian father who met in the neighborhood while working in trade. “I’ve always lived in Itaewon,” he says over coffee. “Here, there are a lot of people like me.”
