Korea is becoming a true bucket list destination for travellers of all ages, but not everyone is looking for the traditional Korean places to visit. Balancing the traditional with the popular is quickly becoming the key for visitors, and if popular experiences are what you’re after, we think you’ll want head to The Hyundai Seoul. These days, Korea’s millennial and Gen Z culture is best appreciated through pop-up stores, and the dazzling displays of luxury and contemporary brands attract found at Seoul’s department stores. If you fall in love with the tastes and items curated by The Hyundai Seoul, we’ve got the ideal way to experience them yourself.
Visitors will want to take advantage of ‘Culture House 1985‘ (CH1985) on the 6th floor of The Hyundai Seoul. It is a community platform where classes and workshops on various topics are held, including wellness, humanities, art salons, and gourmet cooking. Among them, we recommend the two classes below to get a true taste of modern Korea.
1. Tteokbokki & Gimbap Cooking Class
The way to truly experience a country is through food, and home-cooked food is the ideal expression of this. On July 30, Ahnji, a popular host from the YouTube cooking channel ‘Let’s Cook Together‘, will be invited as an instructor and will be holding a tteokbokki and gimbap cooking class. Showcasing Korean recipes using only simple ingredients such as burdock and tofu, it’s set to be a delicious way to explore Korean cuisine. You can book a place here.
2. Personal Colour Diagnosis & Image Making Class
Before filling your shopping basket with K-beauty products, there are some things you need to do first. To help set your personal style, it’s vital to know your skin tone and what colour combinations and makeup styling suits you. A class for this will be held at CH 1985 on July 30, helping you to find your perfect look. Everything from personal colour analysis to makeup recommendations and styling suggestions are done here. If you’re still looking for the ideal shade of lipstick, how about solving your problem here? Book your tickets here.
In addition to these two, Culture House 1985 is opening new courses every month. If you want to check out classes that cross fields such as lifestyle, wellness, beauty, art, and food, check here.
