  • An old-school Korean barbecue restaurant in Yongsan. It’s the kind of place I like because it hasn’t been overly polished or designed; it still feels very local and lived-in. People gather around the table, grill meat, have a few drinks and spend time talking without really watching the clock. I think that kind of moment is also an important part of slowing down in Seoul. For me, slow living doesn’t always mean being somewhere quiet or surrounded by nature. Sometimes it can simply mean sitting around a table with people you like, sharing food and letting the evening unfold naturally. Seoul moves incredibly fast, but places like this have their own rhythm.
