The terrace situated on the first floor offers an open view of the surrounding area including roof tiles of hanok structures and alleyways in Seochon. It is said that Korean novelist Yoon Hu-myeong also appreciated the structure of the guesthouse, saying, “It is an interesting place.” Built in the 1930s, the house, which has many storage places, was taken by the owner couple in spring 2014 as they were attracted by the house during their trip to Seochon. After the repair work, the ground floor of the house was opened for guests from January 2016, hoping that guests could share their daily experiences and stories with each other. The guestrooms and the main floored room on the ground floor are open to guests, with the exception of the first floor, which is used by the owner couple. The living room is equipped with books, a curved TV, and a table. The tasty meal, which is served in the kitchen, consists of rice and soup with six side dishes and is much loved by guests. The guesthouse offers a total of four rooms – Jae Room, which is the most Korean-style room; Mi Room, which has a combined style of a Korean-style room and Western-style room; Nan Room, which is an ideal room for meditation with a beautiful paper window; and Ahn Room, which is equipped with a veranda and a pretty flowerbed. Every room has its separate charm with various comfortable bedding to provide a quiet and cozy bedroom for guests in the middle of the city. Furthermore, the guesthouse holds a pansori (epic chant) performance twice a year. The owner started learning how to sing pansori to promote the Korean culture and tradition to foreigners.

Itaewon-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seúl

Itaewon es un destino turístico y de compras popular entre los extranjeros que visitan Corea. En esta zona, más de 2.000 tiendas se hallan una al lado de otra, formando un gran complejo comercial. Se puede encontrar de todo en estos locales: ropa, calzado, bolsos, etc. Además, la zona dispone de numerosos restaurantes, instalaciones recreativas, empresas de comercio internacional, agencias de viaje y hoteles de turismo. La gran cantidad de letreros en inglés y otros idiomas extranjeros en sus calles hacen sentir que no se está en Corea sino en un espacio internacional.

Las pequeñas tiendas de recuerdos se abrieron para atender a los soldados americanos después de la liberación de Corea. Desde entonces, siguieron erigiéndose centros comerciales para atender a las necesidades de los extranjeros residentes y turistas, y al ser anfitriones de los Juegos Olímpicos de 1988 en Seúl, Itaewon creció rápidamente como un barrio de compras. Desde mediados de los años 90, sus calles, que eran las vías del ejército estadounidense, pasaron a ser los bulevares de los ciudadanos de todo el mundo, especialmente con la llegada de turistas de Japón, Hong Kong, China, el Sudeste Asiático, África y Medio Oriente. En 1997, el área fue designada como Zona Turística Especial.

Los servicios de atención en chino y japonés, así como en inglés, están disponibles en la mayoría de las tiendas debido al hecho de que la mayoría de los clientes son extranjeros. Además, en la zona hay restaurantes especializados donde se pueden probar los sabores únicos de los platos del mundo entero. Hay comida turca, india, paquistaní, suiza, tailandesa, y, por supuesto, la auténtica comida estadounidense. El barrio de Itaewon, tras su renacimiento como uno de los mejores destinos turísticos del mundo, provee no solo oportunidades para las compras sino que también ofrece la oportunidad de ver y conocer la exótica y tradicional moda y cultura coreana. Aquí se realizan numerosos festivales tales como el Festival Global de Itaewon, en el que se muestran tanto la cultura coreana como las culturas tradicionales de todo el planeta.
