Santa of Sinnae

Santa of Sinnae is no ordinary Santa.

He set out on an ambitious journey to cross the Pacific, but the currents were too strong for such an ageing (and slightly unfit) Santa and he ended up drifting north. The Yellow Sea pulled him into the Incheon port and after an unwelcome pat-down at immigration he headed underground to retreat from the cold winter air. Next thing he knew he was in a wave of people (mainly ajumas) being forced on and off a series of subways until he emerged at Hwarangdae Yeok. And since that time he has remained in that very neighbourhood that took him in and has become their very own special Santa.
