I still remember those nights as a kid, hiding under the covers, giggling away while reading comic books! And now, I bet some of you, dear subscribers, are just as excited, waiting for the next free webtoon to drop, already grinning in anticipation!
Anyone else out there who’s been swept away by the magic of Korean webtoons?

If you’re in Bucheon, a hearty meal and a fun stroll are a must!

You won’t be able to leave without grabbing something!
We visited Wonmi Buheung Market, one of Bucheon’s traditional markets. We’ve always wanted to go there since Wonmi-dong is the setting of Yang Gui-ja’s novel "People of Wonmi-dong." Along with Wonmi Buheung Market, there’s also the Wonmi General Market and Geumgang Market lined up next to each other, making your market exploration even more fun!
You’ll be amazed at how affordable everything is! Even with a full shopping basket, the market prices are incredibly easy on the wallet.

These days, it’s hard to find a hearty meal for 5,000 won, right? But for just 5,500 won, you can enjoy a steaming bowl of hand-pulled noodles, and if you add fish-shaped pastries, made from dough filled with sweet red bean paste and grilled on the spot for 1,000 won, you’ll feel happiness filling your heart with every bite!

After grabbing fresh veggies and some tasty side dishes for just 3,000 won, why not finish your trip with a plate of classic jajangmyeon and japchae rice? Don’t be put off by the humble exterior—this cozy spot has been serving up delicious dishes since 1983, and it’s even got a Blue Ribbon seal of approval! Their signature? Japchae rice without the jajang sauce—it’s so full of flavor, you won’t be able to put your spoon down. A fun and flavorful Bucheon adventure awaits—make sure to stop by in October!
