Join us to explore the distinctive culture of Korea and the daily lives of its people—an aspect of Korean society that most visitors rarely experience.

Wander through Gwanghwamun, the city center with a history spanning over 600 years, originating from the Joseon Kingdom. A history major, June, will guide you to locations that narrate South Korea’s story.

We’ll explore Gwanghwamun Square, the charming streets and alleyways of Samcheong-dong, the elegant Bukchon Hanok Village, and even visit the North Korean Studies Institute (from traditional areas to the everyday life of Koreans).

Follow South Korea’s journey through centuries of transformation.

June will connect the dots of age hierarchy, Korea’s vibrant coffee culture, perspectives on Japan, fast-paced living, early-retirement trends, unique Korean sauna traditions, and how the North–South dynamic continues to shape South Korean society.

It’s a leisurely walk. This two-hour tour is an ideal way to deepen your understanding of Korea’s history, culture, and modern identity.
