A palm-sized soy-wax fish shaped after myeongtae (명태), the Alaska pollack. The form comes from a long-standing Korean practice of hanging a dried pollack at the entryway as a household charm against misfortune, often given at housewarmings and tied to wishes for a peaceful home. hap replaces the dried fish with a cast soy-wax ornament: a small face drawn at the head, cotton thread wrapped around the middle.
A small paper band around the thread carries the printed line '항상 좋은일만 가득하길' (may good things always fill your days). In six colors (Mint green, Pink, Vintage blue, Ivory, Gray, and Black).
Suitable for hanging on a door handle, doorframe, or any small hook. hap describes the scent as 'the warmth of being tucked into a thick blanket'; it fades slowly over months of indoor exposure.
The wax surface stays soft to the touch, and the painted features (face, side line, tail) can wear off with friction. Avoid handling the painted areas, and keep the ornaments out of direct sunlight, hot interiors, and reach of children.

Things people ask
Will I have to pay customs or import taxes?
No. Every order ships DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) — all customs duties and import taxes are built into the product price, so your parcel arrives with nothing more to pay.
How long until it arrives?
We need 1 to 5 business days to confirm with the studio and prepare your order. Korea Post EMS is 3 to 7 business days in transit. Made-to-order pieces take 5 to 10 business days to prepare; we note this on the product page.
What's your return policy?
Returns accepted within 14 days of delivery, in original condition. Email contact@shopsoodam.com for a return authorization first. Buyer covers return shipping for change-of-mind; customs duties and the $25 shipping fee (on orders under $150) are non-refundable.
What if it arrives damaged?
That's on us. Email contact@shopsoodam.com within 7 days with your order number and photos of the item and packaging. We'll send a replacement or a full refund, your choice.
Can I cancel or change my order?
Within 1 hour of ordering, yes. After that we'll try, but we forward orders to studios in Korea within 24 hours, so it depends on whether preparation has started. Email contact@shopsoodam.com right away.
How does store credit work?
Every order earns 5% of the subtotal back as store credit, added to your account once your order ships. It applies automatically at checkout and stays valid for 6 months.
