Famous avant-garde Korean poet and architect, Kim Haegyong, or Yi Sang, ran a coffeehouse known as the "Jebi Dabang," or the "Swallow Café." He ran the café with his girlfriend of the time, Geum-Hong. At the café, he began meeting other poets and writers leading to the creation of the Guinhoe, or, the League of Nine.

Nowadays, a bar in Korea holds the name of the Jebi Dabang as a callback to the historical poet. (Please look at the attached photo.)

That's it for today's coffee fact. I'm gonna go brew myself another, see ya.
