Bukchon is numerous Korean-style houses standing close together in Gahwe-dong, Samchong-dong, Gyedong, Jaedong, Hwa-dong, Sogyuk-dong, Sagan-dong, Anguk-dong and Wonseo-dong. Since the old days, the place attracted many families of influence, given the proximity to the palace, its location in the foot of mountain with a great view, and being a lucky place according to Fung Shui. Such traces can be found in landmarks around the Seongsan-Gate and Maengsa-Castle. Although the village was filled with the private residence of aristocrat with 100 chambers, in the post 1930, it was divided into blocks of Korean-style houses to make up for the shortage of houses following the sudden inflow of the population. And on the hill of Gahwe-dong and Samchong-dong, 20 pyung thereabout modernized Korean-style houses were built in clusters to form the village of today. As such the history of Bukchon began. The village located between Gyungbokgung Palace and Changdeokgung Palace and on the northern area of Youlgok road.

If you liked Stomp or Bring in the Noise/Bring in the Funk then I recommend this show to you. It translates into COOKIN’. The basic plot is that a group of restaurant cooks have a deadline but are saddled with the boss’ nephew. The cast uses just about everything in the kitchen to make beats. There are few words, it’s easy to understand, very audience-interactive, and a good mix of tourists and Koreans. Leave a Comment
