Seonbichon Village선비촌

At a glance

Seonbichon sits right beside Sosu Seowon in Sunheung, an area KTO calls the birthplace of Korea's Confucian culture. It rebuilds the homes and study spaces of the seonbi, the classically trained scholars of old Korea, and is run as a hands-on classroom for the values they stood for. Programs change through the year, from interactive exhibits and events to traditional culture experiences, with sessions for adults, children and teens.
