Hello! I am Seon (Seonkoog), an officially certified tour interpreter. But more than that, I am a father, a neighbor, and a professional who has lived through the most dynamic decades of Korea’s modern history.
For over 30 years, I worked in international marketing, contributing directly to Korea’s economic growth at global companies and serving as a Vice President at CJ ENM, Korea’s leading content powerhouse. I haven't just read about Korea’s "Miracle on the Han River"—I was there on the front lines, helping to build it.
Why Walk with Me?
A Marketing Veteran’s Insight: I don’t just recite dates. I explain the "why" behind Korea’s rapid transformation. My 30 years in business allow me to connect our history with global trends in a way that is clear and fascinating.
A Global Friend: I have spent my career communicating with friends and colleagues from all over the world. I understand the curiosity of international visitors and know how to explain Korean culture in a way that resonates with your own experiences.
The "K-Uncle" Sincerity: In Korea, we have a tradition of hard work and sincerity. I bring that same dedication to every tour. Whether it’s researching the smallest historical detail or ensuring your safety and comfort, I am committed to being the most reliable and diligent guide you’ll find.
Whether we are exploring ancient palaces or visiting modern museums, my goal is to provide a warm, personal, and deep connection to this city. I want our walk to feel like a conversation with an old friend—one who knows all the secrets of the neighborhood.
Join me for a journey that is insightful, reliable, and above all, genuinely fun. I can’t wait to share my story and listen to yours
Seon was very informative, welcoming and detailed with the tour! He took his time with explaining everything and was very passionate! Definitely would recommend!
Tolle Tour! Sehr zu empfehlen, im zu verstehen, wie Korea entstanden ist und welche Ereignisse seine Geschichte prägten.
Seonkoog was such a wonderful, polite and kind guide. His tour was much richer and better researched than other free/tips-based tours we have done. He is a registered tour guide with the city, and it shows in the depth of the content he discusses. We highly recommend this tour with this truly local guide.
Seon was an excellent and very personable guide! He packed a lot of information on Korean history into a short time, which gave us context for some of the other places we visited later in the trip. Will take his advice to try and catch a baseball game the next time we are in Seoul. Looking forward to a possible Mangwon market tour in the future :)
Excellent tour- even got great dinner recommendations Really interesting and heavy on key details about the steps that make up modern day Korea
