I LIVE HERE.
YOU’RE JUST
STEPPING IN.
You have 2 weeks.
60 spots saved.
Still don’t know
where to start.
WITHOUT ME WITH ME
AT THE MARKET Guess which stall. Wander. Stare. I know which one.
WHAT YOU EAT One thing. Not sure if it was the right one. 3–4 dishes. Right ones. Right ajumma.
HOW YOU LEAVE “That was fine.” “I came back alone the next day.”

THE MOST
SEOUL VIBE

A quiet morning in a neighborhood.

Koreans actually live in — and come back to, from all over Seoul.

Not Gwangjang. Not Namdaemun. This is where Korean travelers come — because it’s locally good.

You’ve heard of
Mangwon Market.

You walk in. Everyone around you already knows what they need.
You look left, right — not sure what’s what.
Not sure what to eat, what to buy.

That’s the moment you think:
“I wish I had someone local.”

That’s why I made this.

How do I know? Because I see it every day.
I live two minutes from here. I pass through every day —
to the station, from the station, to eat, to shop.
At least four times a week.

This isn’t a market I researched. It’s the one I actually use.

WHAT HAPPENS

01
THE MARKET

The market this neighborhood actually uses.

Mandu · Tteokbokki · Twigim · Eomuk
Gimbap · Tteok · Hodugwaja · Kkwabaegi

Order what you want. As much as you want.
First time in Mangwon? I’m not stingy.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD

The pretty alleys I walk every day.
Because I live here.

03
THE CAFÉ

Best coffee out of 50 cafés here. I’m a coffee snob — I’d know.

I studied calligraphy for four years.
I write your name in Korean. On a fan.
Yours to keep.

04
THE HAN RIVER

Top 3 of 11 Hangang parks in Seoul.

First word every guest says when we arrive — is “wow.”

05
MANGWONJEONG

600 years of living history.

King Sejong named this place — in 1425.
That name became the station. The streets. The neighborhood.

You walk past it. Most people do, without knowing.

That’s why it runs small.

Perfect way to spend our first day in Seoul.

I’ll never forget when we met up with you at the market near your home. Amazing.

Yes. That’s exactly who this is for.
