I’m Eungul.
Seoul isn’t something you do.
It’s something you eat.
I live here. In Mangwon-dong.
This is my neighborhood. My market. My morning.
I’ve also spent over six months in Europe.
Aarhus · Utrecht · Gothenburg · Galway · Edinburgh
Every time I arrived somewhere new, the excitement was real. Then, a day or two in, something shifted. I followed what everyone else was doing. Or walked without really knowing where I was going.
The best moments were never the most optimized ones. They were the moments when someone who lived there just sat down and ate with me.
That’s what I do here.
We eat together.
We walk together.
And somewhere along the way —
Seoul starts to make a little more sense.
Not because I explained it.
Because you were inside it.
Seoul Core
A café, a palace, tteokbokki. The three things Seoul is actually about. Mondays.
Seoul Local Day
My neighborhood. My market. My morning. Tuesdays.
Unplugged Seoul
Phones off. Film camera in hand. A mission card. One printed photo at the end. Wednesdays.
Seoul After Dark
Café. BBQ. Underground Seoul. Rainbow bridge. Thursdays.
This Is Seoul
A full day to understand how the city actually works. By request only.
Some of the best food in Seoul requires two people to order.
So I started Can’t Eat This Alone — a weekly Saturday dinner.
Samgyeopsal. Shabu-shabu. Jjimdak. Dakgalbi.
Nobody eats alone.
I live here.
I know the spots.
You just show up.
WHERE is easy.
WHY is what I do.
