I explored some truly unique concept cafes in Seoul. From the futuristic 'Anjae' to the artistic chicken restaurant 'Kyochon Pilbang', 'Rainreport' which captures the emotion of a rainy day, and 'Jangprigo', a hidden bar through a refrigerator door, I was completely captivated by their distinct charms. I spent peaceful time at the hanok cafe 'Sinoga', and the Ghibli-themed 'Koriko' was absolutely adorable. I also relaxed for hours eating ramen at the comic book cafe 'Nup'. Seoul's cafe culture is truly the best! — Seoul · Yongsan
