KODAK was once a household name, but it couldn't withstand the tide of technology and eventually went bankrupt. However, in South Korea, there's a KODAK brand that creates a sense of contrast by selling nostalgic yet trendy clothing and accessories. KODAK Apparel is a brand under Highlight Brands. The founder, Lee Jun-kwon, graduated from Yonsei University and has worked at South Korea's largest clothing company, collaborating with well-known sports brands. In 2020, he launched KODAK Apparel in South Korea, which quickly became a huge success. Speaking of the Seongsu-dong KODAK store, it connects the nostalgic items like film and cameras displayed in the glass showcase with the trendy clothes they aim to sell. There's even a film projection next to the staircase on the first floor, evoking memories for those born in the 60s and 70s. In 2023, their revenue surpassed 100 billion KRW, and they plan to expand into the Greater China region next. 📍Address: 316-62 Seongsu-dong 2(i)-ga, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, South Korea

Queens bakery cafe About a 10-minute walk from Anguk. A hidden gem of a cafe where you won't see a single Japanese person. Even though there are so many types of bread, there was no one there when I went in the morning. Is this heaven?! I thought. The second floor is spacious and has many seats so you can relax. As lunchtime approaches, more and more people come in...🚶♀️ The lemon cake is crispy and fluffy with a strong lemon flavor and is so delicious🍋 I'm also curious about the salted bread~ There are so many types of bread that it's hard to choose. Recommended when you go to Anguk, Seoul~ Easy to enter even by yourself😌 Open 10:00-21:00 📍 119-1 Sogyeok-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul #KoreanCafe #KoreaTrip #KoreaInformation #Anguk #SeoulCafe #CafeHunt #Bakery #AngukCafe #0YenTripFebruary2025

Ikseon-dong, located near Jongno 3-ga, has become one of the favorite destinations for young tourists from all over the world in recent years. For more than two hundred years, this area has been the prime location within the four gates of Changdeokgung Palace. In fact, during the Japanese occupation, this was also a prosperous commercial area. After the land system was changed, part of Handong was merged into Ikseondong in 1914. The name of Ikseon-dong is derived from the character "Ik" from Ik-dong in the Joseon Dynasty and the character "Seon" from Jeongseonbong. The century-old Hanok buildings today were built by real estate developer Jeong Se-kwon, who purchased a piece of land, divided it into units of 20 pyeong, and built a group of Hanok buildings to solve the housing problem. The Hanok Village referred to today refers to the 118 old buildings here. In fact, Insadong and Samcheongdong were developed earlier. In the early years, these areas were sparsely populated. In 2014, the urban redevelopment failed. With the popularity of stores such as Paradise Station, Seoul Coffee, Xiaoxia Salt Field, and Cheongsudang on Instagram, these areas have attracted a large number of stores to renovate their Hanok houses and move in in recent years. The Hanok exterior and interior design are kept unique, which gradually increases the popularity of this area. When you come to Seoul, don't miss visiting Ikseon-dong and finding your favorite Korean house style. 📍Address: Ikseon-dong, Jongno District, Seoul, South Korea Subway Line 1, 3, 5, Jongno 3-ga Station Exit 6 #FebruaryGoodPlace2025 #Ikseon-dongHanokVillage #SeoulFeatures #Ikseon-dongCafe

Ewha Hanok Village, located in Seoul, South Korea, is a traditional Korean village that blends Korea's historical culture with modern lifestyle, offering visitors a unique opportunity to deeply understand traditional Korean culture. The village has many well-preserved hanoks (traditional Korean wooden houses), making it an ideal place for visitors to experience ancient Korean architecture and customs. During my visit to Ewha Hanok Village, I had many insights and experiences, which I will share in this article. 1. The Interweaving of History and Culture Although Ewha Hanok Village is located in the bustling city of Seoul, once you step into this area, you can feel a strong historical atmosphere. Most of the hanoks here are well-preserved, retaining traditional architectural designs such as wooden beams and Korean-style tiled roofs, giving you a sense of stepping back in time. The interior design of the hanoks emphasizes the introduction of natural light and harmony with nature, which made me marvel at the wisdom of traditional architecture. Walking through the narrow alleys, each hanok is unique and distinctive, whether it's the small garden in front of the house or the curtains hanging by the windows, you can feel a warm and friendly atmosphere. In addition, the streets in the village also retain many traditional elements. There are many small shops, teahouses, and art galleries on both sides of the street, which not only preserve the traditional Korean style but also integrate modern artistic atmosphere. Walking on this street, you can occasionally hear traditional Korean music and see locals wearing hanbok, forming a sharp contrast with the modern urban landscape, which made me feel the profound heritage of Korean culture. 2. The Fun of Hanbok Experience In Ewha Hanok Village, visitors have the opportunity to experience the fun of wearing hanbok. Hanbok is traditional Korean clothing, known for its bright colors and elegant styles. Wearing hanbok made me feel like a noble from ancient Korea, and this feeling of traveling through time was fascinating. Many shops offer hanbok rental services, and I chose a small shop to rent a traditional hanbok and walked through the village streets, completely immersed in the ancient atmosphere. Moreover, there are many places in the village that offer photography services, allowing visitors to take commemorative photos in front of traditional hanoks, which is not only an experience of traditional culture but also a deep understanding of one's own culture. 3. Handicrafts and Cultural Experience Many small shops in Ewha Hanok Village sell handicrafts, most of which are themed around traditional Korean culture. For example, Korean pottery, wooden crafts, and handmade woven accessories, all of which have great artistic value and historical significance. Walking through these shops, I could not only buy meaningful souvenirs but also learn more about the background of Korean culture. Some shops even offer DIY craft-making experiences, allowing visitors to make their own small items. This experience brought me closer to traditional Korean culture and made me feel the residents' dedication and love for cultural heritage. In addition, Ewha Hanok Village also has places that offer traditional music and dance performances, which allowed me to deeply appreciate the unique charm of Korean culture. Through these activities, I felt the pride and respect Koreans have for their culture, and I gained a deeper understanding of Korea's rich history. 4. The Integration of Modernity and Tradition Ewha Hanok Village is a place full of unique characteristics, where you can feel the strong traditional Korean atmosphere while also experiencing modern vibes. Some small shops in the village maintain the hanok style on the outside but incorporate modern design elements inside, creating an interesting and novel mix. For example, some teahouses not only offer traditional Korean teas but also feature modern artistic decorations, allowing me to enjoy traditional Korean tea culture while feeling the modern cultural atmosphere. Moreover, there are also modern facilities in the village, such as cafes and restaurants, which provide modern dining services, allowing visitors to enjoy traditional Korean cuisine while experiencing a comfortable modern lifestyle. I stayed in these places, tasting local food and drinks, and experienced the perfect combination of tradition and modernity. 5. The Quiet and Relaxing Atmosphere Compared to other bustling tourist attractions in Seoul, Ewha Hanok Village has a unique quiet and relaxing atmosphere. Walking through these ancient streets, I felt relaxed, as if I had escaped the busy urban life and entered a secluded and peaceful world. The slow-paced life and leisurely atmosphere here allowed me to slow down and savor everything around me. Whether walking through the old alleys or sitting in a small teahouse, the atmosphere here made me feel extremely relaxed. 6. Conclusion Overall, Ewha Hanok Village is a comprehensive place that integrates historical culture, art, handicrafts, and modern lifestyle. The hanoks and traditional culture here gave me a deeper understanding of Korea's history, while the hanbok experience, handicrafts, and modern facilities allowed me to feel the modern charm of Korea. It is a place suitable for family, friends, or culture enthusiasts to visit. Here, I could not only feel the traditional atmosphere of Korea but also experience the modern cultural vibes. If you come to Seoul, Ewha Hanok Village is definitely a must-visit attraction.

After visiting Seongsu-dong, it is also a good idea to find a cafe to rest. It is also a good idea to go to Onion at Exit 2, away from the crowded cafe street at Exit 3 of the subway. When you enter, get your dessert first, then queue up to order your drinks, and finally find a seat. Although there were a lot of people, the flow was smooth because of the smooth movement and enough seats. Seongsu-dong used to be full of factories, but now it has become a trendy place where young people gather. It is understood that the location of Onion was built in the 1970s. It has experienced the business of restaurant, convenience store, repair shop and factory, like a page of economic development history. After Onion took over, it restored the factory style, retaining the red bricks, iron doors, and mottled paint, allowing this store to blend into the atmosphere of Seongsu-dong. The front building is a store. Going up the atrium stairs, there is an outdoor area where you can feel the atmosphere of the Holy Water Cave. The ruins style of the back building is decorated with soft furnishings, presenting an industrial atmosphere. Thanks to the promotion of IG, the Seongsudong store has become a well-known favorite store for Japanese tourists. A rough calculation during the afternoon period showed that more than half of the customers were young Japanese girls, followed by Korean customers, and there were not many Taiwanese customers. The most famous one is Pandoro, whose golden Italian bread is sprinkled with powdered sugar and whose strawberry tart crust is crispy. It is worth mentioning that it also has branches in Anguk and Gwangjang Market, both of which use the Korean house style and market style to integrate into the local environment. If you have the chance, you can collect some special breads from different branches. 📍Address: 8 Achasan-ro 9-gil, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, South Korea 🕰️Business hours: 8am to 10pm 💰Average consumption: 10,000-20,000 won #2月好去处2025

Gyeongbokgung Palace was the first palace in Seoul. It was constructed in 1395 by Yi Seong-gye, three years after his founding of the Joseon Dynasty. The location was carefully chosen because the surrounding mountains provided symbolic anchorage to the Dynasty. With Gyeongbokgung Palace as the seat of power, the new dynasty moved its capital from Gaeseong to Seoul (known in ancient times as Hanyang.) It was burned down many times throughout its long history. Some of the current structures were bare because they were built anew or restored during the 1990s. Yet the history there would serve as the perfect vantage point from which to view the Joseon Dynasty. In 1873, King Gojong built Geoncheonggung between the garden hill of Noksan and Hyangwonjeong Pavilion. He lived in the bed chamber of Geoncheonggung with his queen, the Empress Myeongseong. Korea was embroiled in conflicts and animosities with Japan. Japanese expansionist policies (and Russian influence as well) rose with the first Sino-Japanese War and its attendant consequences for East Asia. A fire broke out in Gyeongbokgung Palace in 1876, and King Gojong moved to Changdeokgung Palace. He came back to live in Geoncheonggung in 1885 for ten years. Perhaps the most fascinating story at the Gyeongbokgung Palace was the assassination of Empress Myeongseong by Japanese assassins in 1895. Empress Myeongseong was a staunch force against Japanese influence during the late 19th century. Her enemies in Korean politics, including her father-in-law, the father of King Gojong, were complicit with the then Japananese Minister to Korea in bringing about her assassination in Geongbokgung Palace. In the early hours of October 8, 1895, insurgent Korean regiments surrounded the palace and overwhelmed the royal guards. They then allowed Japanese assassins in, who then ravaged the Okho-ru (the reconstrcted building of which is pictured above in this entry), where the Queen was. The murder was brutal and against international law. Koreans and foreigners alike were appalled.[1] The Empress’ assassination came to be known as the Eulmi Incident. It would be fair to say that it ushered in Korea’s modern history, the next chapter of which was modern-time colonialism under Japan’s rule beginning in 1905. #seoul #asia #korea #southkorea #joseon #myeongseong #eulmiincident #gyeongbokgung #gyeongbokgungpalace #historicallandmarks#历史古迹

The area in Seoul where you can best experience historical charm is Jongno, and Bukchon Hanok Village, adjacent to Gyeongbokgung Palace and Changdeokgung Palace, is a must-visit for tourists. Connected to Bugaksan Mountain, the area is said to be a feng shui treasure with higher terrain in the north and lower in the south. Over 600 years ago, this was a 'luxury' settlement for the yangban (Korean aristocrats), and it has now become a popular tourist destination. The stone walls, blue tiles, and grand wooden gates form what is known as the Eight Views of Bukchon. In the past, commoners could only live in thatched houses, while nobles lived in warmer tiled houses equipped with ondol (underfloor heating) to withstand the cold northern winters. The interiors of traditional hanoks are lined with hanji (Korean paper) and have wooden frames to regulate temperature and humidity. The tour takes about two hours, and since there are many slopes, it is recommended to wear comfortable shoes. On the day of the visit, there were many noisy tour groups, and volunteers were stationed at several intersections to guide visitors. As this is a residential area, tourists are reminded to keep quiet. 🚗 Transportation: Anguk Station on Subway Line 3; or take Jongno 02 bus and get off at Bukchon Hanok Village Station. 📍 Address: Gyedong-gil, Jongno District, Seoul, South Korea

The hotel opened in October 2023 and is located near Chungmuro Subway Station in downtown Seoul, about a 10-minute walk to Myeongdong Shopping Street. There are two 24-hour convenience stores and a coffee shop☕️ on the first floor of the hotel. Next to the hotel, there are also BBQ restaurants, fried chicken shops, and Korean knife-cut noodle shops, making it very convenient. The hotel staff are very friendly, and there is a self-check-in machine and a currency exchange machine. They can communicate in English. However, the luggage storage service is charged at 1,000 KRW per hour. I booked a family room, which was clean and tidy with full amenities, including a microwave, washing machine, refrigerator, etc. The soundproofing is also very good, and it is very quiet at night. The room door is accessed by entering a password. Highly recommended for families and travelers with children! 📍 Solago Myeongdong Hotel & Apartment Price: $480/night Address: 9, Chungmu-ro 2-gil, Jung-gu, 04556 Seoul Transportation: Exit 7 of Chungmuro Subway Station, Line 4, Seoul
