*Hongdae, Seoul*

Seoul has many places that are popular with young people, offering plenty of things to see and eat.

One of these places is *Hongdae*. If you exit *Hongik University Station* on Seoul Subway Line 2 through **Exits 8 or 9**, you will find yourself in this area.

There are many attractions here, including BBQ restaurants, dermatology clinics, coffee shops, and various other places to explore.

Located in the western part of Seoul, Hongdae becomes especially lively in the evening, with many young people gathering and street performances taking place.

It is the end of February 2026, around **8:40 PM**, and young performers are entertaining the crowds.

Korea is generally known for its good public safety, and many areas are clean and well maintained.

For those visiting Korea, Hongdae is a place that is worth considering as part of your trip.

JAPCHAE 잡채

Today, we would like to introduce Japchae (stir-fried glass noodles), one of the most popular dishes at our restaurant.

Many of our customers say that Japchae has a unique and distinctive flavor.

We offer two varieties: Vegetable Japchae and Beef Japchae.

Japchae is a traditional Korean dish that is said to have been enjoyed by kings during the Joseon Dynasty (1392–1910). It remains one of the most beloved foods among Koreans today.

Japchae is also especially popular among Japanese visitors and is one of their favorite Korean dishes.

Delicious. Just try it!

“Interior Photos & Notice

These are photos of the inside of MR SLIM KOREAN FOOD. All of the walls are made of glass.

As many customers are still asking about this, we would like to post this notice once again here. We would appreciate it if you could refer to it.”

* There are no toilets in the store.
* The kitchen is made open so that anyone can see it.
* The MR SLIM concept is that you pay first and take your food away or sit down like KFC.
* Food containers are provided in Disposable Paper Bowls (fast food).
* After eating, please dispose of your paper bowl crafts in the entrance trash bin.
* If you take leftovers home, we will provide a lid and packaging.
* We serve Korean-style mixed brown rice.

* Preparing dishes like JEON (Korean-style thin pancake) and CHICKEN KATSU curry takes approximately 5–10 minutes.
* BULDAK means ‘very spicy chicken’. We do not recommend this to those who do not like spicy food.

* We do not provide soy sauce with Kimbap. Koreans do not use soy sauce when eating Kimbap as it is already seasoned. Adding soy sauce would make it too salty.
* The Korean way to eat a corn dog is by topping it with sugar, ketchup, and mustard.

* We do not accept reservations for the time being, so you can come and eat after ordering.
However, if you are a group of 8 or more guests, or if you plan to order more than 10 servings, we would appreciate it if you could call in advance.”

*Introduction to Korean Mountains (K- Hiking) – Bukhansan in Seoul*

If you get off at Bukhansan Ui (Doseonsa) Station on the Seoul subway and exit through Exit 2, you will reach the entrance to Bukhansan after walking for about 2–3 minutes.
From there, it takes about 20 minutes to hike up to the lower mid-slope.
However, it is recommended to take a taxi to the Doseonsa entrance first and then start hiking from there. (The taxi fare is about £3–4.)

Mountains such as Bukhansan, Gwanaksan, and Dobongsan are all located not far from central Seoul.

Recently, “K-hiking” (hiking in Korea) has become a trend among foreign tourists, leading to a rapid increase in the number of foreigners climbing Korean mountains.

These days, a large number of tourists visiting Korea are taking up hiking.
According to the Seoul Tourism Organization, the number of foreign visitors to Seoul’s hiking tourism centers reached 18,693 last year, a 49% increase compared to the previous year (12,550).

Korea is also very safe for hiking.
There are no earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, deserts, or sandstorms, and natural disasters such as typhoons, hurricanes, and tornadoes are rare.
There are also no dangerous wild animals such as tigers, lions, bears, crocodiles, hyenas, hippos, large snakes like anacondas, elephants, or even monkeys. The most potentially harmful animal is the wild boar.
Although there are warning signs about wild boars at hiking entrances, incidents involving them are extremely rare, making hiking very safe overall.

We highly recommend that visitors to Korea try hiking in Korean mountains.
The Seoul Urban Hiking Tourism Center offers hiking programs for foreigners, introduces hiking courses, and provides rental services for hiking clothes, shoes, and equipment.

You can see a wide variety of materials, including Korean maps, ceramics, and the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty, which meticulously document the daily lives of the kings of the Joseon Dynasty 조선왕조실록.

When you go up the stairs at the entrance of the museum, you can see Namsan in Seoul, and the scenery is good.

KTX Train & Snowfall

When foreigners come to Korea and travel to regional areas, they usually use the KTX train.
This KTX train was filmed at Jeonju Station in Jeollabuk-do.

The KTX opens the ticket gates 15 minutes before departure, and there are no ticket inspectors at the gate. So when it’s time, we can simply go through the gate.

However, foreign credit cards do not work for purchasing tickets. I will check this again and post an update here.

And,
In Korea, it often snows even in February.
On the morning of 24 February, 2026, snow was falling at Jeonju Station.

On that day, snow fell in the southern regions of Korea, and it was reported that Daegu in the Gyeongsangbukdo region received particularly heavy snowfall.

Thank you. 감사합니다
