One city

One city, told in districts.

One city, told in districts.

Thirteen years of moving around this city. Four of them working in the towers of Yeouido (여의도), four studying in Sinchon (신촌), one living in Apgujeong (압구정) — and the rest of it walking everywhere else, on no schedule, for no reason but that I live here.

Each neighbourhood carries a different chapter of Korea. Tap one to see it, and hear what it means to me.

Jongno · Old Seoul

This is where I come when I want the city my grandfather knew — narrow alleys, a working market like 광장시장 (Gwangjang Market), food made the way it's always been made. We eat standing up, elbow to elbow, and it's the best meal of the day.
