About
SincereLee is a name that echoes “Sincerely,” the way a letter signs off.
Sincerely comes from the Latin sincerus—“pure, without falsehood”—and since the early 1700s it has closed letters with the quiet promise, “this is heartfelt.”
Why “sincere,” of all words?
- 允윤Because the “yun” in my name, Yunseo, is 允—to be true.
- S서And among the many words for truth, I chose this one because its first letter, S, could hold “Seo” of my name.
- Lee이Joined with my family name, Lee, it reads aloud as sincerely—from the heart.
And so all three syllables of my name came to rest within a single word.
Sincerely
允, with sincerity. 瑞, with grace. True to what my name carries, I hope to record with honesty and pass on the auspicious.

For gathering what has been scattered and handing it on to the next person is, I believe, how good things are kept and carried forward.

Hello,
Hello, I’m Yunseo Isabel Lee. Thank you for stopping by. My work gathers scattered records of Korean Traditional Dress and weaves them into archives — so it felt right to gather my own story in one place too. This is my very first website, and much of it is still under construction. But a record is something that keeps growing, so I’ll be filling these pages in little by little. Do come back now and then to see how it changes.
