Hello this is Korean National Center giving you great informations about tour in South Korea.

Insadong is must-go location in Seoul. There are so many restaurant and shops that give you Korean spirit.

Here are our 4 recommendations 

1. Gamgodang - gil

 http://tv.naver.com/v/1282099

Did you see the k-drama Goblin(: The Lonely and Great God)?

Gamgodang-gil in Insadong is the place where the drama characters came out.

It is good to take pictures in a beautiful stone wall, and It is a place where you can meet wonderful Korean restaurants and small workshops. Why do not you try walking the pretty street like a Korean drama star?

2. Traditional village (Hanok Ma-eul)

Hanok Village is already well known, but it is a place that is absolutely essential.

Because of the complexity of the road, it can be difficult to visit without planning. 

The guide site operated by Seoul city makes it easier and more convenient to find a way.

here's the link to the information site : http://hanok.seoul.or.kr

If you make a reservation in advance, you can take a walking tour with a tour guide.

3. Running man Experience

The last place to introduce is the Running Man Experience Center.

Runningman is a famous TV program of Korean broadcasting channel SBS. If you go here, you can experience various games such as rope skipping, mazes, name tagging games Why don't you be the Last Member of the Running Man?

4. Korean National Souvenir Center

If you have a good trip around Insadong, finally come to the Korean national souvenir center.

It is a place where traditional and modern feelings coexist. You can find various products that can remember Korea in one place.

At the end of the year, the calendar is filled with various party schedules!

So, we prepared 3 games to make the party more fun lol

1. Yut Game

Did you play game of yut with friends at the end of the year?

game of yut is a Korean traditional play requiring good luck and strategy.

The yut sticks are similar to the dice. Results of six different outcomes are raised when you throw yut sticks. I think the yut game is well balanced in various ways. even more, everyone can easily enjoy playing!

Recently ive found some prmotional product collaborating with the most popular characters, 'We bare, bears' ! A well made game will be fun beyond the ages!

2. Paper Slap match

If you want to play a simple and active game, why don't you do slap match!

Veryt simple rules. With folded paper, Paper smashes the opponent's paper. Someone who has flipped over is beaten. and here's how to fold it.

I remember that i made it using all kinds of paper.

3. a marbles tournament (called 'Gong-Ghi)

One of the kroean traditional games, a marbles tournament !

it is the best game to enjoy together with cheap item!

Here's the instruction clip.

Why don't you try making party funny with these games in the year-end and the New Year's parties?

Korea traditional souvenir center will keep going on promoting Korea culture! :D

Hello~ this is Korea National Souvenir Center representing Korean traditional culture!

Today, I will introduce 'Mother of Pearl' that is a traditional Korean craft culture.

It is called Jagae in Korea

In the traditional Korean handicraft culture, Jagae means a piece of a golden shell. That’s because Jagae’s English name is ‘Mother of Pearl.’

Korean people could find these folding screens or furniture decorated with jagae in their grandmother's house. (I guess it's hard to find in the countryside these days)

Maybe you might think of this furnitures not useful and too expensive. but don't be serious because it's just a traditional craft. Xd

You can find many beautiful and practical products in Korea National Souvenir Center. Would you like to take a look around?

It's a brooch made of mother-of-pearl! wow so shiny~!!

Jagae can be found in many Korean traditional chests, it is a dresser decorated with Jagae! it would be good for the interior decoration props.

The best-selling product, a nail-trimmer kit. If you look at this product closely, the sparkling Songkhak's mother-of-pearl looks gorgeous :D

And here's my last selection. Mini size drawer with mother-of-pearl design. It gives off a seductive charm.

Jagae is so charming and practical product! Not stuffy!

Hope this posting is helpful to you. Plz push ‘like’! on this post. thank you XD

"A king who rules over the people should pull out all the heart."

It is a famous saying of King Sejong the King, whom Koreans love and respect most.

King Sejong is the king who is said to be the greatest king of Korea and has made great achievements in many fields such as politics, military, culture, science and art.

(Hunminjeongeum)

The greatest achievement is the creation of Hangul!

King Sejong made a phonetic symbol through inventing Hangul for people's rich use of language.

Koreans are exploring the achievements of King Sejong through various contents such as dramas, movies, and comics, as well as biography.

(From the left, Tree with 1446, deep root, Shinkijeon related to King Sejong's achievements)

Song Jung-ki plays young sejong in the drama 'Tree with deep root', the 'Shinkijeon' is about the story of the weapon called Shinkijeon, and the musical '1446' containing the biography of King Sejong!

We are constantly meeting King Sejong with such various contents.

Another way to meet King Sejong in 2017, The statue of Sejong in Gwanghwamun!

(Statue of Sejong in Gwanghwamun, Seoul)

Another way to meet King Sejong in 2017! It is a statue of King Sejong in Gwanghwamun.

If you go to Gwanghwamun Square, which is the center of Seoul, you can see the statue of Sejong that always keeps the spot.

After meeting the statue of King Sejong, find a Korea national souvenir center located 10 minutes walk from Gwanghwamun Square. In a straight line from where King Sejong statute is located.

You can find a variety of products including handkerchiefs, key chains and Korean silk neckties with Hunminjeongeum!

(A Hunminjeongeum handkerchief with beautiful printing detail)

From the statue of King Sejong to the traditional souvenirs decorated in Korean!   

How about going out to Gwanghwamun-Insadong?

“I wish had a lot of money doing nothing”

Have you ever thought about it?

There is a bowl that keeps growing things when you put anything!

It is a folktale called ‘widow’s cruse’ which descends for several hundred years.

(And i wonder what it looks like)

A poor bachelor who lived at the beach went down to the village to sell the tree and then find a live snapper sold by a merchant. When he saw the snapper, panting its breath, the bachelor used his money to release the snapper on the beach. One day a beautiful woman who came to the bachelor said that she was a snapper. She recommended him to go to the dragon king and bring a bowl look like soybean.

That’s the widow’s cruse, a mysterious bowl that keeps all kinds of things and does not diminished!

You can find it in Korea souvenir center!

< Widow’s cruse in the Korea souvenir center at insa dong >

It looks like soybean, as the snapper expresses. Widow’s cruse does not have a sleek and polished design, but it has lumpy and rustic style!

The reason why the bachelor in the folktale is given widow’s cruse is because he does good work of releasing the snapper.

If you have widow’s cruse, What do you want to put in?

Come to the Korea souvenir center! 

Of course, if you put something in the widows’ cruse, it is mine XD ~

Hello guys! It’s Korea souvenir center.

What image do you come up with when thinking Korea?

(The icon representing Korea culture : Kimchi and K-POP)

There are various images representing Korea such as healthy and delicious Korean food, K-POP that is enthusiastic all over the world and ‘Taeguek’ mark that engraved in the Korean flag!

(you will recall Korea with this taegeuk mark)

Did you know what taegeuk mark means? 

Taekuek mark is a pattern that located at the center of Korean flag. Red and blue color is intertwined. Red means the energy of ‘yang’ and ‘sky’. Blue means the energy of ‘yin’ and ‘land’.

Taekuek mark contains the truth of nature that the universe grows in harmony of yin and yang.

3 Taekuek! Not just sky and land. There are always human beings in nature.

3 taekuek is a variation of the taekuek mark meaning a statue that becoming one with sky, land and human being. It is a pattern meaning the origin of universe which containing sky, earth, human being in the ancient china’s philosophy.

Is it amazing that there is a huge universe truth in simple pattern :D ?

Hello everyone~

It is Korea national souvenir center! (◍'◡'◍)

I think there are a lot of people who feel 'gukak', the korean traditional music difficult.

So today, I would like to recommend some cheerful music based on gukak~

Let’s spice up the party by gukak (drop the beat!)

We prepared songs that anyone could feel free to listen,

Let's listen it together and dance! ~ (˘▾˘ ~) (~ ˘▾˘)

baby  ~ shark!

du-ru-du-ru!

cute!

du-ru-du-ru!

'The Shark Family song' which is the most popular among children these days! Did you know that you can also meet it with the Korean version?

'The Shark Family song' gukak version.

The moment you listen to the song, which is a combination of ah-jang, flute, gaya-geum, kkwaenggwari, You will find yourself doing dance ~ dance!

I’m scared, scared, ARE YOU?

The second song I will introduce you is ‘shoot’, the project song released in infinite challenge’s HISTORY X HIPHOP project ‘great expectation’

[Great expectation of infinite challenge] HAHA X MINO ‘Shoot’

The beautiful prelude starting with  with Gayageum, A combination of a heavy beat and a drum, It is a harmonious song!

The power of ‘Yi-sun-shin’

We can feel the faith of admiral Yi-sun-shin through collaboration of hip hop and gukak ι(｀ロ´)ノ

Put your hands up together!

The OST of ‘traitor’, An Yeeun, ‘If spring come’ (Drama ver.)

The next song is ' If spring come' which was the OST of the Korean soap opera 'Traitor'. Repeated taepyongso(kind of traditional instrument) melody is so addictive! and Ye eun's singing style is familiar with the style of Korean traditional music.

The last song I prepared is my favorite song !!! (emphasis !!!)

MOONY-A wonderful country

It is 'A wonderful country' sung by MOONY which is adding Korean lyrics to Fly to the Sky, The crossover song of gukak  XD

The song infused patriotism into our heart!

It was used in the Eiffel Tower performance celebrating 130th anniversary of diplomatic relations in France 'V'

kukak has been ringing at the Eiffel Tower performance, which was celebrated on the 130th anniversary of the diplomatic relations between Korea and France. lol

What do you think about my recommendation?

Hope you enjoy cheerful gukak music!
