Last Updated on October 14, 2024 by Alex

Before moving there, we had no idea how many amazing things there are to discover in South Korea. After one year of living in Seoul and traveling extensively throughout the country, we have compiled a great South Korea bucket list.

This list is packed with popular attractions and some hidden gems. It is perfect for a quick trip, especially when you have a bit more time to explore.

Alex loves history, nature, and food, while Ingrid knows all the Instagram-worthy spots, best cafes, flower fields, and tourist attractions in the country. Thus, you should expect to find some of everything on this bucket list.

South Korea Bucket List: Things to do & see

South Korea Bucket List: Things to do & see

Visit the Palaces in Seoul

No visit to South Korea should skip the Six Royal Palaces in Seoul. Of course, you might find it hard to see all of them when you only have three or even four days in Seoul; thus, a choice must be made.

The six palaces are relatively close to one another, all set in Seoul’s city center. If you are passionate about history or want to learn about South Korea’s past, choose to step inside a few of the palaces.

Gyeongbokgung Palace, Changdeokgung Palace, Changgyeonggung Palace, Deoksugung Palace, and Gyeonghuigung Palace are lovely throughout the year but incredibly charming during spring or fall.

Extra tip: Get your Seoul City Pass. The card offers free unlimited transportation for 24, 48, or 72 hours, free entry to 40+ attractions, and discounts to over 60 attractions, including the most important palaces.

Visit a traditional Hanok village

Why haven’t I said “the” Hanok Village? Well, there is not only one area with traditional Korean houses you could visit in Seoul or Korea.

Sure, Bukchon Hanok Village is the most popular and centrally located in Seoul. However, there is also the charming and less-known Eunpyeong Hanok Village or the Namsangol Hanok Village.

Additionally, Suwon has a nice area with hanok houses and cafes, the Jeonju Hanok Village (전북 전주 한옥마을), and we should not forget about the historical capital of Shilla—Gyeongju.

Stay in a hanok house

The good news is that you won’t have to travel far from Seoul or stay in a traditional Hanok house. There are many guesthouses to choose from, where you can have an authentic experience.

Namuae in Gyengju is a guesthouse with authentic Korean rooms. Expect to sleep on the floor and eat some of the most delicious food in the world. The place has a charming garden and offers free parking.

Stay in a traditional house in Insadong!

Rent a hanbok and take some pictures

I won’t judge you if this is your first time hearing about the hanbok. It was my first time as well. And I wasn’t aware you could rent one, walk the streets of Seoul in it, and take amazing pictures in it.

The Korean hanbok is a semi-formal or formal dress for traditional occasions. The term literally means “Korean clothing,” but today’s term refers to clothing worn during the Joseon dynasty.

It’s a fantastic experience, and you’ll also benefit from free entrance to the palaces while wearing your traditional dress.

We have written a comprehensive guide with everything you should know about the experience, some cool photo spots, and more.

Go to a Cat Cafe

Myeongdong offers so many cool things to do, and visiting a cat cafe is one of these things.

It’s worth knowing that they open at noon and close around 10 p.m. Also, most cafes have specific rules regarding animals.

You cannot pick them up; you must only pet them when they want to. Feeding them is not allowed unless you purchase sure treats from the cafe. You must also remove your shoes and wash your hands before touching the cats.

In addition, the time spent there is limited (it depends on the place), and you must pay an entrance fee.

Most cats are friendly, curious, and used to people, so spending one or two hours in a cat cafe is a fun activity in Myeongdong.

Eat all the delicious traditional food

After spending more than 15 years of my life traveling all around the globe on business trips, it has become clear that Korean cuisine is truly one of the most exquisite and delicious cuisines on the planet.

From the earthy flavors of bibimbap to the fiery spiciness of kimchi jjigae, there is something for everyone, regardless of your particular tastes.

Are you into seafood or fish? You could try dozens, if not hundreds, of different dishes.

Or perhaps you prefer noodles or dumplings? You must try the so-called Pyongyang cold noodles (naengmyeon).

But if you are a meat lover, South Korea is a paradise since its entire culture is built around barbecue.

For a complete guide on Korean traditional food and dining in South Korea, check out our guide here.

See all the cute cafes

After we moved to Seoul, I understood quickly that there are three types of cafes in town:

The Instagrammable cafes are where you mostly go for the picture, not so much for the coffee. These are some of the most popular places in town. They show up like mushrooms after the rain, and if you try to visit shortly after they are open, you might find it challenging even during the week.
The chain cafes are Twosome Place, Ediya Coffee, Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf Cafe, Pascucci, Angel-in-us Coffee, and Hollys Coffee, to name a few. Here, you will find so-and-so coffee at a more reasonable price, cake, and other pastries. Most of these places also have larger spaces and free internet so that people can come and hang out. It’s pretty much like Starbucks.
Coffee lovers go to cafes with single-origin coffee. These are pretty much my kind of places. Most of them have attractive interior designs. They are not massive cafes. You can even go to work or hang out with friends in some areas. But one thing is sure: you go there for the coffee and nothing else! Most places have something sweet but don’t usually offer cakes or food.

For Seoul, we have compiled a list of cafes worth visiting, whether you are looking for aesthetics or want to taste truly delicious coffee.

Sail on the Han River at sunset

Sailing on the Han River is worth adding to your Seoul bucket list. It will allow you to admire the city from another perspective.

The river splits Seoul in two, and by sailing on it, you will see some of the most important landmarks in town: the N Seoul Tower, Lotte Tower, some of the lovely bridges, Itaewon with its colorful buildings, Yeouido, Banpo Bridge Fountain Show, and more.

The yacht cruise lasts 30 minutes, and you can choose from various boat types.

Go at a jimjilbang (Korean SPA)

Before we went, I had heard many things about South Korea’s SPAs and their renowned body scrubs.

However, because of the timing of our moving to Seoul, SPAs were closed during restrictions, and we had to wait until we could enjoy a day of complete relaxation.

The jimjilbang was a hit, even for someone like us, who always looks for the greatest SPA facilities in town. We absolutely loved every relaxing moment spent there.

There are some essential facts to be aware of when you plan to spend a few hours or a day at the Korean SPA:

There are more traditional SPAs, and there are fancier ones, such as the one we have been to (Aquafield in Goyang or Hanam);
In every SPA, there are common areas to be enjoyed by both women and men, dressed with some special costumes you get at the reception – this is usually where you find saunas, massage chairs, and small pools for your feet;
The shower area also has hot water pools, steam saunas, and a scrubbing room – access here is done separately by men and women;

Popular jimjilbangs to try in Seoul: LK SPA near Myeongdong and Dongdaemun; Hwanggeum Sauna in Myeongdong; Dragon Hill Spa & Resort in Yongsan; and Aquafield in Goyaing or Hanam.

If you are traveling to Busan, you should not miss the Busan SPA Land Centum.

Visit the Garden of the Morning Calm

Korea is known to the locals as the ‘Land of the Morning Calm’ because of its natural beauty and picturesque mountain landscapes, which evoke a harmonious balance and equilibrium.

The similarly named garden perfectly reflects the country’s self-image. The place reminded me of the elvish settlements from fantasy movies: wildly beautiful yet neatly pedicured and maintained.

The vast arboretum lies east of Seoul, nestled between several mountain peaks.

It houses over 5000 plant species, some of them rare or endangered.

Book your day trip to the Garden of Morning Calm!

Eat bingsu on a hot day

The first time I saw “Bingsu,” I was shocked and couldn’t understand what it was. Koreans love this sweet during summer torrid days because it is much more than just ice cream.

Shaved ice is topped with ice cream, cream, fruit, or sometimes even tiramisu or other sweets and chocolate. It is a caloric bomb, but you should try it at least once!

Do a TempleStay

While temples are usually hidden outside of Seoul, in the mountain areas, there are a few options in the city as well.

The temple stay is an accommodation type and a unique cultural experience. You learn about Korean Buddhism, spend time with the monks, taste delicious vegetarian meals, and find yourself at the temple.

Bongeunsa Temple in Gangnam-gu, Jogyesa Temple in Jongno-gu, and Jingwansa Temple in Eunpyeong-gu all offer different Templestays.

If you would instead go outside of Seoul, Hwagyesa Temple, Bongsunsa Temple, or Geumsunsa are great options worth considering.

Shop for cosmetics and K-fashion

South Korea is a worldwide leader in skincare and cosmetics. Thus, shopping in Seoul should be on your bucket list!

Myeongdong is heaven for skincare lovers, and you can easily spend hours and hours moving from one store to the other. Save some space in your luggage because you will need it at departure.

The same goes for K-fashion, even though they tend to make clothes in small sizes, which makes it complicated for many to shop here. If you want to try on a few dresses, head over to Dongdaemun or the Jamsil Underground Shopping Center.

See some temples before (and after) Buddha’s Day

Celebrated during spring, Buddha’s Birthday is a significant public holiday in South Korea. Even though you won’t participate in the celebrations, visiting some of the most famous temples in town (Bongeunsa and/or Yogyesa) and the beautiful lampions are worth admiring.

Learn how to make kimchi

Korean cuisine is renowned for its signature side dish, kimchi. This fermented vegetable dish is typically served as an accompaniment to the main course but can also be used as a key ingredient in various dishes. But what is kimchi?

Kimchi is made from salted and pickled vegetables such as Chinese cabbage, radish, cucumber, or scallion, which are then fermented in a mix of garlic, ginger, chili pepper, and other spices.

This mix is deposited into particular recipients and dug underground until the contents ferment. The fermentation process adds unique sour and spicy flavors to the dish.

Due to the fermentation process, the kimchi has a strong smell that Westerners might consider unpleasant. But I assure you, kimchi is delicious.

Apart from eating it, you can also take a cooking class and learn how to make your own kimchi! Learn the difference between different types of kimchi, what vegetables are used for each, the whole process, and more.

Go for an afternoon tea

The afternoon tea ceremony is popular in Great Britain but can also be unforgettable in Seoul or Busan.

Most of the fancier hotels will offer afternoon tea sets that can be enjoyed in a luxurious setting.

Explore the tea plantations

Boseong Tea Plantation and Daehan Dawon Tea Plantation (대한다원) are the most important places you should head to if you want to see how tea is harvested in South Korea.

In addition to walking through beautiful hills covered with green tea, you will have the chance to learn about tea production and taste some local products with green tea flavors.

If you prefer to explore the tea plantations on the hills north of Yeosu, a day trip to Boseong from Busan should be considered.

You can rent a car and drive there by yourself, or you can book an organized tour and forget about having to think about itineraries, schedules, maps, etc.

A tour will take you through the tea plantations in Boseong, but you will also get to see the Suncheon Bay Wetland Reserve.

See more about the tour here!

Take the Blue Line Train

Take the Blue Train or the Sky Capsule and admire the coastline from the comfort of your own small, colorful capsule.

The Sky Capsule has a shorter distance, operates on a 2-kilometer section, and only links Mipo to Cheongsapo. The whole ride takes less than 30 minutes, and the car goes at an average speed of 4 kilometers per hour.

They only allowed a maximum of 4 people inside one car, and we relayed our trip. The one-way price for two people in a car is 30.000 won, while four people will pay 44.000 won.

Book in advance, especially if you want to have this experience at a certain time of day.

Learn how to surf in Busan

Songjeong Beach in Busan is popular with surfers and has a more relaxed vibe than Haeundae. The Blue Line Train has its end of the line close to the beach, so you can take the train back just in time for sunset or go back by bus.

While you are there, and if you are interested, you can book a surfboard and surfing lesson.

Take countless pictures in Gamcheon or Huinnyeoul Cultural Villages

Two of the most colorful places in Busan, Gamcheon, and Huinnyeoul, are great for taking Instagram-worthy pictures.

Filled with beautiful photo spots, colorful streets, buildings, and pretty and popular cafes, there is no way you will get bored in either one of these cultural villages.

Go on a West Busan photography tour!

Cross the Red Bridge in Paju

The Majang Lake, or Majangho in Korean, was one of the first places we visited outside Seoul. Since that trip, we have returned many times because we craved a bit of peace and quiet.

One of the main attractions of Majang Lake is the suspension bridge linking its forested shores.

Officially, the Gloucester Heros Bridge, also called the Gamaksan Suspension Bridge, was named to honor the 1st Battalion Gloucester Regiment of the British Army, who fought in the Korean War.

At 220 meters long and 10 meters high, it is the longest suspension bridge in South Korea. Walking over the lake while enjoying the fantastic view is surpassed only by the joy of taking and sharing a memorable selfie.

The Red Bridge Café and Italian Restaurant are near the suspension bridge on the lake’s southern shore. The coffee is good, and the food tastes almost Italian. However, the lake view from the restaurant’s terrace is WOW!

Our usual routine was to stop for lunch or coffee, cross the bridge, and walk around the lake.

Sleep on the floor in a traditional Korean room

Hanok is the name of the traditional Korean house where people would sleep on the floor to be closer to the heat during cold winter days. That’s because even back in the day, Koreans had a special heating system that worked from the floor called “ondol.”

You can have an authentic experience by staying in a traditional hanok.

Go fancy in Gangnam

Yes, the “Gangnam Style” was about partying like the people in this district do. You will find here some of the coolest and most exclusive restaurants and bars in town, where people come to have fun (and, of course, to show off).

Check out also all the other fun things to do in Gangnam!

Feel like a royal at the Hwaseong Fortress in Suwon

The 18th-century fortress, located in Suwon, was built by King Jeongjo of the Joseon Dynasty, and it was designed to serve as both a military fortification and a symbol of power.

The 4.7-kilometer-long wall encloses over 500 structures, including gates, watchtowers, and bastions that comprise the complex defensive system.

Hwaseong Fortress also features an elaborate palace site and other historic buildings, such as pavilions, command posts, temples, and secret gates, playing essential roles in the fortress’s defense strategy.

It has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997 for its magnificent architecture and remarkable engineering feat accomplished during its construction.

Today’s visitors can admire the impressive fortress’s several gates and sentry towers.

Book a day tour to the Hwaseong Fortress in Suwon

Feel like a kid at Wolmido Island Park

Easily reached by subway and a bus, Wolmido Island Park is set in Incheon and can be a fun getaway from the city. You will also be next to the sea, and around so many cool cafes and restaurants.

Go camping

Camping is a huge deal in Korea, and you will see that campgrounds have everything you might need. Spending a few days (and nights) in nature, under the star-filled sky, is great.

There are plenty of options, closer or farther away from Seoul. Just book in advance because, as I’ve said, they tend to be popular.

See the temple with the breathtaking view in Namhae

There are many things worth seeing and doing on Namhae Island, and you can quickly get there from Busan or Yeosu. However, the Boriam Temple offers one of the most stunning views.

You can park your car in the temple’s parking. From there, a small bus will take you up the mountain. However, be prepared to hike a little on foot because you will need to do so to reach the top of the hill and the temple.

You will be delighted by the most amazing views on a clear day, but we were unlucky to go on a foggy day (even if we couldn’t tell from the sea level).

Visit the DMZ and peak over to North Korea

The Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) is a strip of land that serves as a buffer zone between North and South Korea. It was established at the end of the Korean War in 1953 to serve as a neutral area where no military personnel or weapons were allowed.

Read all about the experience and plan your trip from Seoul!

See Seoul’s skyline from Buam-dong

One of the most charming neighborhoods in Seoul, Buam-dong is still a hidden gem that tourists explore less.

Don’t come here for cosmetics or tourist attractions because you will be disappointed. However, this is the place to go if you are looking for local art galleries, narrow streets with breathtaking views, pretty cafes, and some of the best local restaurants in town.

We enjoyed this area and returned whenever we had a chill afternoon or wanted to enjoy a coffee with a view.

Visit Seoul Museum with its contemporary art exhibitions, stop by Seokpajeong, a former royal villa with impressive gardens, and relax at one of the many cool cafes on the cafe street.

Bugak Skywalk is not easily reached but will enchant you with some of the city’s best views.

Participate in a traditional Korean wedding ceremony

Traditional (and modern) Korean weddings differ slightly from what you expect. They only last a few hours, and certain ceremonies must be followed.

As a tourist, you might not be able to participate in a Korean wedding. We were lucky to be invited to one by Alex’s colleague.

However, the Korea Hosue restaurant and cafe (한국의집) organizes traditional wedding ceremonies. It is an experience worth having during your South Korean vacation.

Take the cable car in Yeosu

If you make it to the southern part of the peninsula, Yeosu is a great place to spend a few days exploring.

Even if you go there on a day trip from Busan, you should not skip going on a ride in the cable car. The view is stunning!

Enjoy a French experience at Petite France

While that might not be the first thing you want to see in South Korea, it is still a cool experience on a day trip from Seoul.

Usually done with a visit to the Garden of Morning Calm and Nami Island, Petite France is a cool-themed village between the mountains of Gapyeong.

Blend in with the expats in Itaewon

When we first moved to Seoul, everyone told us we should search for apartments in Itaewon. That’s mainly because the area is one of the favorites among expats.

Even though we ended up staying in a more traditional residential area, Itaewon is still cool to explore. With many international restaurants, cool clubs, and bars, it’s the place to go to have a “less-Korean” night out.

See a bamboo forest at Ahopsan Forest (아홉산숲)

Set north of Busan, one hour away by car, Ahopsan Forest is a charming escape from the city. Start your day with a coffee and some traditional rice sweets on the terrace between the bamboo trees, and be ready to walk up the hill.

You will find one of the most beautiful bamboo forests in South Korea here, and the place is big enough for you to spend a few hours exploring easily.

While you could get there by public transportation (bus no. 184 from Banyeo Agricultural Wholesale Market Namnum Bus Stop 반여농산물도매시장 동문 to Ungcheon Bus Stop 웅천) it is much easier to get there by car.

Pick Hallabobg during harvest season on Jeju Island

Hallabong is a type of tangerine that grows on Jeju Island and is very popular with the locals. They eat it as it comes and use it in tea and K-beauty.

That’s why you should visit Jeju Island during the harvesting season, when you can pick your fruit and savor it in its natural setting.

Throughout the island, there are tourist-friendly farms that will allow you to visit and explain everything there is to know about the harvest process.

October to February is the peak season for tangerines on Jeju Island.

Step back in time in Gyeongju

As the capital of the Kingdom of Silla, Gyeongju became the center of Korean political and cultural life by 668 A.D.

The old town’s traditional buildings host several restaurants. Over the years, we have had the chance to enjoy delicious cuisine worldwide, but one of the best meals was in Gyeongju.

The old town has many beautiful places to visit, and it is the perfect destination for a day trip from Busan or even Seoul by KTX.

Go hiking during fall foliage

As soon as autumn comes, South Korea puts on different beautiful clothes. Sure, spring in Seoul is amazing, but visiting the city during fall is as charming.

If you love nature and don’t mind the exercise, there are plenty of hiking trails in the city or nearby. Bukhansan National Park offers hikes that are fit for any experience level.

Visit a few temples by the sea: Haedong Yonggungsa in Busan, Naksansa Temple (낙산사) in YangYang

Most guides about South Korea will tell you about “the only temple by the sea” set in Busan. However, Haedong Yonggungsa Temple is not the only one of its kind.

Sure, if you are in Busan, you should visit it, but the Naksansa Temple (낙산사) is closer to Seoul. Yangyang area is also lovely to explore, less touristic, and a great mix of mountains and ocean.

Cycle from one cafe to the other below the cherry trees in Chuncheon

The capital city of Gangwon Province, Chuncheon, is one of the best and closest mountain destinations to Seoul.

It is a great weekend destination and a place for a day only.

Get there by train, rent a bike, and cycle around the lake in search of cool cafes—plenty of them in and around Chuncheon.

See the tides on Ganghwa Island

Another excellent destination for a day trip from Seoul, Ganghwado Island, is known for its impressive tides.

Imagine sitting on a beach, an ocean of mud as far as you can see, people playing in it or looking for shells kilometers away from the coast.

In Europe, the sea retreats only a few meters during low tide, and on Africa’s eastern shores, it might retreat hundreds of meters. At Ganghwa, the ocean can withdraw as much as 5 kilometers.

The result is breathtaking, the sea leaving room for endless mudflats.

And also the cute cafe

Doré Doré Brunch & Coffee (도레도레) is set on the island, and it is famous not only for its rainbow cake but also for its beautiful daisy garden.

Avoid going there on the weekend because you won’t find a parking space or a table.

Go for a luxury SPA treatment

It is, of course, expected from a country famous for its skincare brands and treatments to have also luxury SPAs.

If you have more time to spend in Seoul, try to fit at least a visit to one of the many luxury SPAs into your schedule and itinerary.

There are plenty of great offers you should check out:

O HUI & Whoo Spa Beauty Care Package
SPA 1899
Sulwhasoo SPA in Gangnam

Try a cosmetics clinic for a laser treatment

If you would instead buy the skincare and bring it back home, you shouldn’t leave Seoul without trying a professional treatment.

Gangnam has hundreds of plastic surgery clinics, but you shouldn’t go all the way. You can at least try a laser facial. It is good for collagen production and much cheaper in South Korea than in many other places worldwide.

I used to go to Shinebeam in Hongdae, but they also have a branch in Gangnam. They always have fantastic packages and deals worth checking out.

See a K-Pop concert

If you are into K-pop, you should know much more about it than we do. You can attend plenty of concerts in Seoul at any time and even see street performances by K-pop wannabes in areas like Hongdae.

Explore K-drama filming locations

They are easy to find around town and almost everywhere else in South Korea, and true fans will know where to look for what they want to see!

Moreover, you can go on an organized K-pop Fan Tour that will take you to see some of the most iconic places linked to K-pop.

Visit a Korean theme park

Lotte World is the most popular adventure park in South Korea, set in the middle of Seokchon Lake next to the famous Lotte World Tower.

Whether you are traveling with kids or you simply want to feel like a child again, spending one day at the amusement park should be on your Seoul bucket list.

Choose a Fast Pass when you don’t want to wait in line at any of the rides, or get the combo ticket and visit the Aquarium.

Book your discounted ticket here!

Everland Amusement Park is another cool option where you can easily spend one full day without boredom. Get your day pass discounted ticket here!

Go skiing in Gangwon-do

As expected from a country with so many mountains, South Korea also has some great skiing resorts. The good news is that most of them are close to Seoul.

If you visit during winter, you can spend a day at Alpensia Ski Resort, Eden Valley Ski Resort, or Phoenix Park Ski Resort, just to name a few.

Visit the MBC Dae Jang Geum Park Drama Set

Take a small-group tour of the Yongin MBC Drama TV set and discover where scenes from Korean historical dramas were filmed.

Explore recreations of palaces, private houses, and a fortress from the Joseon dynasty.

Get an up-close look at the detailed sets used for popular series such as ‘Queen Seon-deok’ and ‘Lee San, Wind of the Palace.’ Plus, a knowledgeable guide will be on hand to answer your questions about the site.

See more about the tour here!

Party at Haeundae Beach

One of the largest and coolest beaches in South Korea hosts various K-pop concerts and fun events throughout the year. Check if something is up before planning your visit, and come prepared to have fun.

Sample the street food in Seoul

Taste your way through the bustling streets of Seoul on a street food tour!

There’s something for every palate, from traditional Korean snacks like Gimbap and Hotteok to more modern creations like Tteokbokki and Kimbap.

Enjoy delicious flavors while walking through local neighborhoods with an experienced guide who will take you to some of the city’s best-hidden gems.

Eat German food in the German Village on Namhae

We are not great fans of German food (mainly sausages) or beer, but stepping inside the German Village on Namhae Island was a unique experience. That’s because you feel like you are in Europe, not South Korea.

The village was built by people who left Korea to work in Germany many years ago and returned to create a unique place on a lovely island.

Book a room with a view of the mountains or the sea

As we’ve said, South Korea has wonderful nature, and you can find plenty of hotels with view options.

Whether you love the sea or the mountains, you will find a place you will fall in love with.

Climb Namsan Mountain for the cherry blossom

Let’s get straight: climbing Namsan Mountain is a must, regardless of season. But this is one of the best places to go for the cherry blossom in spring.

The cherry blossom season is huge in South Korea, and everyone runs around the city to capture the best moments.

Chase all the flower fields

In South Korea, almost every season has its flower fields to see (okay, not winter, sorry), and you should plan some time to visit some while you are there.

Canola, tulips and roses, magnolias, plum trees, Forsythia, cosmos, azaleas, sunflowers, and all kinds of fall flowers – there is something for every taste from spring to fall.

Taste Chinese Korean food in Incheon China Town

After living in Hong Kong for one year and a half, moving to Seoul made us miss the delicious Cantonese food. While we love Korean food and think it is one of the best in the world, we sometimes crave authentic Chinese food.

That’s why we headed to Incheon for Chinatown a little while after moving to Korea. Food is very different from what we are used to, and that’s because it is Chinese food that has been adapted throughout the years to local tastes.

Nevertheless, it is still a great experience to have in Incheon.
