Today, we’re heading to Yeouido, where finance, politics, shopping, and cherry blossoms somehow all live on the same island. It’s polished by day, breezy by night, and just dramatic enough to feel like a K-drama set. So naturally, we’re pairing it with Undercover Miss Hong.

White Day in Seoul: candy on the outside, “what if” on the inside. This week we unpack Once We Were Us—the film that made Korea text their first love. Then we take it to Seochon: sunlight, alley walks, and a date that won’t break the bank.

A boy king, a brutal plot twist, and one quiet county that still remembers. Today we follow Danjong’s last chapter—from the screen to Yeongwol’s rivers and pines. Bring your tissues… and your walking shoes.

Dapsimni: where Seoul’s history isn’t behind glass—it’s stacked for sale. Think Antiques Roadshow, but you’re the one doing the treasure-hunting. And yes, Gen Z has entered the warehouse.

Welcome to Arirang Travel Diaries—this week we’re marking Seollal with the energy of 2026’s Year of the Horse. We’ll share a simple Seoul holiday plan and the key traditions to know. And we’ll close the day the gentlest way: a warm bowl of tteokguk, a slow walk, and tea + hangwa in a cozy hanok dessert café.

Welcome to Arirang Travel Diaries! Today we’re doing Valentine’s Day the Korean way: chocolates, “14th-day” romance culture, and a date course you can actually follow. We’ll decode the dating-show effect – from I Am Solo realism to Single’s Inferno “Paradise” fantasy. Then it’s real-life ideas: 도꾸 donut decorating, craft workshops, and a sweet finale – maybe even a Seongsimdang day trip.

Welcome to Arirang Travel Diaries. We're back at Olympic Park for Part 2, where concert arenas, flower fields, and ancient Baekje walls meet in one place. We’ll follow the park’s Olympic legacy –from the World Peace Gate to today’s live-event energy– then spotlight Baekje history through the film Hwangsanbeol. And we’ll end the day the local way: the Alone Tree, a gentle stroll, and the best nearby eats, cafés, and dessert.

Welcome to Arirang Travel Diaries – this week we’re heading to Olympic Park in Songpa-gu, where Seoul’s 1988 dreams still linger in wide lawns and bold public art. We’ll time-travel through the mood of Reply 1988 and channel the underdog Olympic spirit of Take Off as Korea looks ahead to Milano Cortina. Then we’ll slow down inside the park – SOMA Museum and the Sculpture Park, plus the Baekje-era Mongchontoseong – before ending with local eats and café stops nearby.
