Hello, everyone!
We are Seoul Mate,
a college student tourism volunteer club that provides free tours to foreigners.
Have you heard of the sentence that "When you meet SEOUL, SEOULMATE."?
It's a slogan expressing our club.
We are trying to let foreigners know the hidden charm of Seoul.
We offer a wide variety of tour courses.
I would like to explain one of them,
"Let's dig in the K-culture! [K-pop course]"
This is a tour course where you can feel the modern culture of Korea.
It is a tour designed with the motto of the Seoul Mate club, mate.
You can try on Korean school uniforms by visiting the school uniform rental store.
At Hiker Ground, you can mainly experience
Korean cultural industries such as K-pop, K-art, and K-drama.
Also, you can walk along Cheonggyecheon Stream
to appreciate the murals,
and walk through the alleys of Ikseon-dong
to feel the culture that Korean people enjoy.
The tour takes about 4 hours, and the tour starts at 11 o'clock at Exit 4 of Anguk Station.
Unlike other tours of Seoul Mate, it is a paid tour, and it costs 13,000 won.
Since you need to use transportation,
we recommend bringing a subway transportation card.
Now, we'll explain the tour course in detail!
Experience trying on school uniforms
Idols can also borrow Korean students' uniforms, which they often wear as stage outfits.
Koreans rent uniforms a lot because they enjoy wearing pretty uniforms like idols.
If you take a picture wearing a school uniform, you will be able to take many more pretty pictures.
Let's be an idol and have fun together because we're here to film a variety show!
Hiker Ground
This is the Korea Tourism Organization's Korea Promotion Center, where you can have time to promote not only Seoul but also Korea through K-pop festivals and experience centers that make use of the characteristics of each region.
Hiker means "welcome greetings from Korea" and the ground means "to become a playground for global travelers."
In addition, you can experience Korean tourist attractions indirectly, and there is a worldview called "Hiker Entertainment", so you can also enjoy programs that carry out missions with employees.
There is a K-Pop Ground, a realistic exhibition experience zone for the Korean Wave theme, so you can experience live studios using XR technology and various concepts of K-Pop music video stage devices to produce Korean Wave contents.
There is a medical tourism information center on the fourth floor.
It is a place that helps foreigners guide medical tourism, and operates programs such as tea therapy experience, skin age measurement, and stress index measurement.
In particular, the tea therapy experience recommends tea that suits you,
and you can try it yourself for free.
Cheonggyecheon Stream
Cheonggyecheon is an important landmark that crosses the center of Seoul.
It was used as a sewer in the past, but it was restored in 2005 and is now used as a walking trail and rest area for citizens. You will be able to enjoy nature and scenery in the city while walking along Cheonggyecheon Stream together!
Ikseon-dong
It is a place where you can see the Hanok Street where you can feel a different atmosphere by harmonizing the exterior of the traditional hanok building with various stores such as cafes and restaurants.
The streets are beautiful, and cafes and galleries are everywhere, so you can enjoy a variety of cultural arts and relaxations.
When the current MBTI was not well known, people were often divided into blood types, zodiac signs, and constellations, and their fortunes were checked.
In Ikseon-dong, you can check your fortune through constellations.
Experience the fun of checking out what your fortune will be like in the future while on tour!
The tour ends with enjoying delicious food, taking a walk,
and playing various games in Ikseon-dong.
How about enjoying the Hikerground Tour
where you can learn more about Korea
while experiencing modern Korean culture?
We'll be waiting for the day when we can make good memories with you guys.
Please show a lot of interest and apply for our tour!
Thank you for reading this post. :)
