The IG photo that started it all

Before there was ktownismytown.com, before there was the initial birth pains of a Koreatown tour, there was the Instagram hashtag. I created #ktownismytown on August 27, 2013, using it to tag interesting scenes and locations around Koreatown. This is where the name of the website and the tour comes from. I welcome other Instagrammers who visit this eclectic Los Angeles neighborhood to do the same. There is plenty to observe and explore here at any given moment. I plan to post my favorite #ktownismytown picks here. My general Instagram meanderings can be found at theotherhelenkim. Swing by and say hello if you’d like.
