I contacted Seba after searching—without success—for specific martial arts gear; he promptly and kindly solved the problem by bringing the equipment I was looking for directly to my hotel. Thanks again, Seba.

Un immense merci à Jean-Sébastien pour cette prestation vraiment super ! Grâce à lui, nous avons découvert des endroits magnifiques, totalement atypiques et préservés du tourisme de masse. Le contact est super bien passé dès les premières minutes, il est d'un professionnalisme et d'une gentillesse incroyables. Je recommande à 100 % ! 🚀✨

Calligraphy master writing the Hangeul alphabet with a brush on a piece of Hanji paper

Try Korean calligraphy SEOYE

Korean calligraphy, called seoye (서예 書藝), is the art of writing beautifully with a brush and ink. It can use:

  • Hangul (한글), the Korean alphabet;
  • Hanja (한자), Chinese-origin characters.

It is not only about writing neatly: the thickness of the strokes, the speed of the brush movement, the balance of the shapes, and the empty spaces express emotion and the artist’s personality. Traditionally, a brush, ink, an inkstone, and Korean paper called Hanji are used.

In short, Korean calligraphy is both an artistic form of writing, a meditative practice, and a way to convey a message or emotion.

Program

- Demonstration by the teacher
- Introduction of the equipment: brush, ink stone, paper, ink...
- Practice of calligraphy overseen by the teacher
- Receive your name written by the master on a souvenir roll
- Souvenir photos

⏳ Duration: 2h
📍 Where: Jongno, Seoul
