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 % ! 🚀✨

J'ai visité en compagnie de Sébastien le Daejanggeum Park, site de tournage des dramas historiques coréens. Ce fut une expérience absolument magique avec le guide parfait pour cette visite. Si vous êtes des dramas addict comme moi, je vous recommande d'y aller et vous rencontrerez les effigies de vos acteurs préférés! Un régal pour les yeux! Merci beaucoup Sébastien pour avoir fait de mon rêve une réalité !

Had the most amaaaazing experience, Seba went above and beyond for me and really made the experience so wonderful and inspiring. Learning the sword dance was absolutely incredible, working with a master, and the archery too was insane!!! I am so happy it was absolutely incredible. Thankyou so much. I can not reccomend it enough!!!

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
✅ Guiding in English with translation from Korean

Try Korean traditional massage ANMA

The traditional Korean massage Anma (안마 按摩) is the precursor to Japanese Shiatsu and originates from the traditional Chinese Anmo massage. It is performed without oil and through clothing. The practitioner performs deep tissue manipulation along with joint mobilization and acupressure. This practice is based on energy meridians and aims to eliminate blockages and stimulate the body’s self-healing capabilities. In South Korea, it is practiced exclusively by the visually impaired.

📍 Located in Seoul, in the Mapo-gu and Seocho-gu districts
💆 The session (choice of 1 or 2 hours) is done fully clothed, with translation between English and Korean.
