Step inside private royal chambers of Changdeok Palace

Deep within the UNESCO-listed grounds of Changdeok Palace in central Seoul, behind grand wooden gates that once shielded Korea’s sovereign rulers from public gaze, lies an extraordinary architectural crossroads where centuries of dynastic tradition collide with early 20th-century Western luxury. Beginning Oct. 20, visitors will step directly into these private living quarters and official chambers through an exclusive guided program hosted by the Changdeok Palace Office under the Royal Palaces and Tombs Center of the National Heritage Service. The limited-run tour, titled “Entering the Inner Court of Changdeokgung: Living Spaces of the King and Queen,” offers rare entry into Huijeongdang — the royal bedchamber turned administrative hall — and Daejojeon, the queen’s official residence. While Huijeongdang has been accessible during select special viewings since 2022, this month marks the first time that the interior of Daejojeon will open to the general public. Destroyed by a devastating fire in 1917 and rebuilt in 1920 during the Japanese colonial period, both structures refl

Bread, pizza, fish: Seoul unveils GPS art running trails

Seoul has created three running routes that trace the shapes of a loaf of bread, a slice of pizza and a fish on a map, and will hold an event for runners who complete them starting Wednesday, the city government said Tuesday. The routes are part of what is known as “art running,” in which runners use the GPS function of a running app to record their route. Following a set path draws a picture on the app’s map. The city said it designed the routes to connect Korea’s growing running culture with local tourism and give people a new way to visit sites chosen for Seoul Edition 25. The project aims to promote lesser-known local spots as tourist attractions beyond well-known landmarks. In July, residents voted to select 25 sites, one in each of Seoul’s 25 districts. The 1.4-kilometer “bread run” circles Seoul Forest, a large park in eastern Seoul, and is linked to D Museum, a Seoul Edition 25 site. Runners can visit nearby bakeries and the museum’s exhibitions afterward. The event runs through Oct. 31. The roughly 6-kilometer “pizza run” around Maeheon Citizen’s Forest, a

Smart Life Week draws record crowds as Seoul showcases AI urban future

Seoul’s annual flagship showcase for artificial intelligence (AI) and smart city technology drew roughly 87,000 visitors this year, a 45 percent surge from last year that reflects mounting public interest in urban tech, city officials said Tuesday. Smart Life Week 2026 was held from Oct. 6 to 8 at Coex in Gangnam District. The city said the turnout reflected strong public interest in AI and robot technology that could change daily life and the future of cities. This year’s event brought together 110 cities from 52 countries, along with 302 companies and 101 institutions, to share technology and experience in using AI for urban innovation. To help Korean small businesses and startups expand overseas, the event hosted 379 business meetings with foreign cities, buyers and investors. A total of 91 buyers, 46 from Korea and 45 from abroad, reviewed Korean companies’ technology and discussed sales and investment opportunities. These included 40 Present for Your City sessions, which matched the policy needs of overseas cities with Korean firms’ AI, robot and smart city technology, and 3

Young chefs turn seasonal greens into modern comfort food at Seoul Forest

As young urbanites in Korea increasingly navigate the pressures of fast-paced city life dominated by convenience store meals and high-sugar takeout, the Seoul Metropolitan Government is offering a fresh alternative: healthy eating as a vibrant, everyday lifestyle rather than a restrictive chore. Seoul Forest Park will transform into an open-air culinary playground Sunday for the Youth and Family Healthy Food Picnic. Running from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. around the park's outdoor stage, the autumn festival invites young residents and their families to discover how seasonal, plant-forward cooking can be both accessible and delicious. The main event of the afternoon is a high-energy live cooking competition titled "Youth Healthy Table." Ten finalist chefs, selected through a nationwide recipe contest, will take to the stage to transform October's local bounty — including spinach, Napa cabbage, sweet potatoes and wild mushrooms — into creative, balanced dishes. A panel composed of professional chefs and citizen judges will evaluate the entries based on taste, nutrition and originality to sele

Master percussionist takes center stage in historic heritage showcase

In the disciplined world of "pansori," Korea’s traditional narrative storytelling through song, the barrel drummer — or "gosu" — occupies a place of quiet, essential reverence. For centuries, folklore has maintained that a singer’s success depends first on the drummer, then on the vocalist. Yet despite holding the pulse of the performance, the drummer almost always plays second fiddle, tethered to the singer’s shadow. Master percussionist Yoo In-sang will reverse that age-old hierarchy on Oct. 24 when he steps to the forefront of the stage at the National Intangible Heritage Center in Jeonju, North Jeolla Province. Titled IMPRESSION, the concert serves as the grand finale of the center’s 2026 Isujadyeon series, an annual showcase spotlighting certified successors of Korea’s official intangible cultural heritage. Yoo, a veteran performer who has spent decades directing music and providing rhythmic accompaniment for major national dance and theater productions, will transform the traditional drum from a supportive backdrop into the main event. Divided into four distinct acts,
