Hello, This is Korea National Souvenir Center XD

Iksun-dong is also very close to Insadong, where our center is located!

It is the hottest place in Seoul these days.

Exit 4 of Jongno 3ga Station and cross the street to the left to meet Iksun-dong.

Iksun-dong is a unique place that combines

the atmosphere of old hanok with the feel of the newest stores.

It took me a long time to look around the alley

because of all the photo spots I wanted to see.

I decided to go to Store Without Signboard(간판없는 가게) 

which is HOT restaurant in Iksun-dong.

If you go in and you see this!
It's so beautiful that you can take pictures anywhere.

Three basic things
Tomato mixed with basil is soooo delicious

A spinach pizza.

Under the snowy cheese,
soft-boiled egg, fresh spinach, and tomato sauce are mixed with dough.

It is one of the most popular menu in this restaurant.

The Pyeongchang Winter Paralympics will open tomorrow, May 9!
Today, I will prepare to cheer up for the opening. + _ +!

While I was working hard, my boss gave me BandabI Pixel Block.

[QUEST]  Assemble the pixel block.
 [Accept] [reject]

[QUEST]  Assemble the BandabI pixel block.

[Accept x 100]

Of course, YES!

If it is a block of BandabI  pixels, I would very much like to assemble.

BandabI is mascot of Pyeongchang Winter Paralympics
It is a combination of Banda, which means " half moon, " and Bi which means "commemorate".

" Strong will, strong courage, and a leader in equality and harmony "

Let's start the quest !!

First, I got a BandabI pixel.

It's so cute.

These are components, pixel blocks and design instruction.

This is final appearance of pixel block.

First, let's make a bandabi’s cute feet.

And then make BandabI’s belly.

You'll also have to make a half-moon mark, the symbol of Bandabi!!

Lastly, make your Bandabi’s face and it will be complete!

You thought it was over here, right~?

But still have to make a bandabI 's hat.

Red, blue, and green colors.
If you even made a hat!  It's totally done!!



It took me less than two hours.

Really pretty and cute!

March 9 is the first day of the Pyeongchang Winter Paralympics.

The Pyeongchang Winter Paralympics will consist of 6 sports events;

wheelchair curling, ice hockey, snowboard, cross-country skiing, Alpine skiing, and biathlon.

Hello, We are Korea Souvenir Center.

Isn't everyone having a busy day with the start of March?

 As you repeat your busy life, you suddenly feel like you want to leave suddenly.

So today I prepared best night train destination,

when I suddenly wanted to leave!

I think that night trip is  a good idea to have a good trip on the weekend.

Then let's find out where is a good place to go by night train.

1. East Sea

When you ride on a night train in Seoul, you will arrive in 'East sea' at 4 a.m.

Arrived to 'East sea', you have to do is watching the sun rise.

(It would be stupid ... When you miss the sun rise).

Mukho Lighthouse's sunrise is said to be a magnificent spectacle.

If you step down from the lighthouse and go below the swaying bridge, you can see the sea more closely!

If you saw the sunrise, how about Non-gol Temple with a cute mural on it?

You should take a picture in Nongoldae-road.

In particular, Non-goldam-road is known to have three different courses,
so it would be a good idea to choose your own course.

2. Suncheon

If you take the last train at Yeongdeungpo Station, you will arrive at Suncheon at 3:30 a.m.

If you want to see the sunrise in a different way, why don't you visit Nagan Fortress?

After watching the sunrise, go to Suncheonman Bay!

Suncheonman Bay is MUST VISIT spot in Suncheon.

It is one of Suncheon's best place for its harmony with reed beds and mudflats.

3. Busan

If you travel by night, you can't miss Busan.

If you start by night train at Yeongdeungpo Station, you will arrive in Busan in 5 hours.

If you want to see the sunrise from Busan, how about Taejongdae with its ocean, cliffs and dense forest?

Haedong Yonggungsa Temple, which is directly adjacent to the sea,
is one of the most famous tourist attractions in Busan.

In addition, various foods are waiting for you.

4. The last destination is Miryang.

                                    Miryang, which takes about 4 hours and a half by night train from Seoul.     

Miryang's Youngnamaru is considered one of the
                                         must-see attractions for the country.                                     

The colorful lights on the pavilion and the night view of Milyang Bridge make your night beautiful.

Milyang Theater Village is also a popular tourist spot. in Miryang.

Isn't it amazing how many domestic travel spots there are for you to go by night train?

Already, I have booked a night train to Suncheon.

Why don't you leave your tired life, too?

Let's all leave to find freedom!

Let's book tickets together!

Hello, We are Korea National Souvenir Center.

It sure is warm these days, isn't it?

  Today is 'Gyeongchip', One of the seasonal customs of Korea.

'Gyeongchip' is the day on which insects appear from their holes in the earth.

  The green buds come out on the trees, I think the spring is about to begin.

Today, I would like to introduce you to the origin of 'Gyeongchip'

and the green items that match frogs.

The Meaning and Origin of 'Gyeongchip'

'Gyeongchip' is the day when the frog awakes from hibernation.

Around Gyeongchip, in Korea, when the continental high pressure falls,
migratory high and low pressure drops regularly pass through the nation,
repeating cold weather and mild weather, and the temperature rises daily until the end of spring.

Even the buds and frogs that grow new leaves in the spring
seem to be very green in the spring.

So I prepared,

Green color product for preparing Gyeongchip Go, go, go!

1. Folk prints Notebook

In the spring, everyone would buy pretty notebooks. 

' Irwol Obongdo ' is a folk notebook you can see at Korea National Souvenir Center.

I think this notebook attracts people's attention
because it has animals, flowers, and scenery in cover prints.

Notebook composed of 'Hwajodo', 'Hojakdo' and ' Irwol Obongdo 'are suitable for

writing down simple ideas and diaries!

2. Ramie Patchwork Table Mat

I think the ramie patchwork table mats are perfect for spring.

They are made of ramie fabric,
so it is good to use it from spring to autumn.

The color scheme is also gorgeous, so I think it is perfect for spring !!

Frog will running around this mats, isn't it? ~ (~ ˘ ▾ ˘) ~

They're really pretty if you put them under tables, potted plants, or even a cup of tea.

3. Pop-up card

Among the various products I will introduce, this product was my favorite one.

It is a pop-up card for 6 traditional Korean buildings.

Among these, the pop-up card of 'Geunjeongjeon' is really green, right?

When you open the card, each of the buildings appears in 3D.

This card is good for personal collection, but it is also a good gift.

As the weather is getting warmer,
why don't you visit the buildings shown on the pop-up card when you visit Korea?

4. Doorbell

With doorbell, you can feel the spring breeze with the clear bell!

This product is also a good opening gift.

In particular, it has a wide range of choices as it is equipped with a variety of designs!

Because it is spring, green house, green tree, and green fence design are most popular.

As I imagine the clear bell ring as the door opens, and the spring breeze is blowing,
I would like to attach it to the door as soon as possible.

I can't wait for spring to come.

What do you want to do first when spring comes?

Thank you.

Hello!

It's Korea National Souvenir Center :)

We're back to the 'What is it for?' series!

"What is it for?" 

What is this sharp object...?

Let me show you three examples!

1. Acupressure..?

2. A surprise toy on the chair.....?

3. Limited Edition chocolate..........?!?!??

.

.

.

.

The answer is acupressure!!

Today, Let's take a closer look at the Beads for finger-pressure

on sale at Korea National Souvenir Center.

It's in a black square box with a picture of flowers on it.

so beautiful and luxurious.. TT

If you open the box,

you'll see two beads for finger-pressure, a storage bag,

and a picture of the position of the acupressure.

Can you see a correspondence with hands?

Just apply pressure to the point of ill-health.

I felt something refreshed after I actually fiddled with it.

When not in use, close and keep it in your pocket.

I think this pouch can be useful for something else without having to carry acupressure.

The pocket is available in various colors, such as blue and yellow.

Are you curious to know more about acupressures to stay healthy?

Hello.

It's Korea National Souvenir Center :)

Today is the 15th day of the New Year according to the lunar calendar,
one of the most important holidays in Korea.

The 15th day of the New Year according to the lunar calendar is the first full Moon of the year.

The Great Full Moon Day is the largest and brightest day of the year !

It is a day to drive out the darkness with the power of the moon and fire.

On the 15th day of the New Year,

why don't you enjoy eating ogokbap and breaking the nuts today?

Before that, let's find out what the meaning of the Great Full Moon of Korea
and what it does on the day of the first full moon.

Q) What  is the 15th day of the New Year according to the lunar calendar?

A) The 15th day of the New Year is the most important and meaningful day of the Korean traditional custom.

For a long time, Korea considered the full moon a symbol of abundance and fertility,
especially on the fifteenth of lunar January,
because it is the first full moon of the year.

They said they considered it even more special.

Q) What do you do on the 15th day of the New Year?

A) On the fifteenth of lunar January, people around the country pray for the happiness of the year.

We also play various folk games.

Some of the most famous events are village memorial service,
moon wedding wish, rat fire game, and moon house burning.

 Rat fire game is a three-time rite on the 15th day of the New Year,

in which rats, other harmful animals,
and evil spirits can be traced to a stoneware, or a fire game played on a field bank.

When the moon house burning occurs on the night of the 15th day of the New Year,

It is said to be a custom of burning a stack of pine trees and other things to enjoy,
such as a good New Year's holiday and a year free from diseases.

Q) What is the food eaten on the 15th day of the New Year?

On the fifteenth of lunar January,

five-colored grain of red, red, white, and black are eaten on the day of the first full moon.

For oriental medicine, eating ogokbap on the fifteenth of lunar January is

interpreted as a form of balanced body with the energy of five different kinds.

And we eat various old vegetables with ogokbap.

The most common vegetables are bracken, shirragi, and balloon flower.

We have radish, chinnamul, bean sprouts, and spinach.

Then, why do we eat vegetables with Ogokbap?

If you boil vegetables on the15th day of the New Year,

you will not be affected by summer heat.

Have you ever heard of Gwibalgi drink?

Gwibalgi drink said, 'This drink makes your ears brighter.' 

means to drink soju or refined rice wine

on the morning before the 15th day of the New Year.

When people drink cold drinks that are not heated on the morning of the 15th day of the New Year,

they become unconscious, have no earache, and have a brighter ear.

It is said to be a custom created by.

On the fifteenth of lunar January, there are some things you can't miss out.
It's Bureom.

Bureom is the custom of biting down on nuts to wish for a healthy year.
In the past, there were frequent breakouts on the skin due to poor nutrition.

It was also very dry around the day of the first full Moon Festival.
It is our ancestors' wisdom to prevent skin diseases by eating nutritious nuts, right?

We learned about the 15th day of the Lunar New Year, in Korea.
Isn't it fun and interesting?

We hope everyone stays healthy this year.

Hello.

It's Korea National Souvenir Center.

March 1 this year is the 99th anniversary of Samiljeol.

Samiljeol, Independence Movement day is

the day that Korea announced to the world

its independence intention on March 1, 1919.

Let's learn about the meaning of Taegeukgi

to commemorate the Samiljeol(삼일절).

 The meanings contained in the Taegeukgi 

The Korean flag, Taegeukgi, is white and has a taegeuk mark in the middle,

And a Geon, Gon, Gam, Li in four corners.

The wite background of Taegeukgi is light and pure,

and it represents ethnicity of traditionally loving peace.

The taegeuk mark in the middle represents

harmony of Yang(sunny spot) and Eum(shade).

It is a representation of nature's truth

that all things in the universe are created and developed by the interaction between Yang(sunny spot) and Eum(shade).

The four trigrams at the four corners show the changes and improvements

of Yang(sunny spot) and Eum(shade) in each other.

It's expressed in detail through a combination of filial piety.

Of all things in the universe, Geon trigram is the sky, Gon trigram is the land,

Gam trigram is water, and Li trigram is fire.

Thank you :)
