Letter from the Editor

Flowers bloom even in the middle of Crisis,

be prepared for the new normal

Our lifestyles have changed drastically due to the COVID-19

outbreaks. The pandemic has affected all aspects of every

individual's life and all industries. So far, most countries are

still on lockdown, everyone on the street is wearing a mask,

all types of traveling has been strongly restricted, and we

can’t enjoy professional sports games anymore.

It sounds like the apocalypse or doomsday. But humanity

is really working hard to find a solution for the global

pandemic. Even though the future will be different than

you thought, ‘the curve’ of COVID-19 cases is flattening in

global society, and it will eventually pass.

So in this summer magazine, we would like to tell you about

how we are living and surviving in during the COVID-19

situation in Korea. We prepared stories to make sure you

are ready for the era of ‘the new normal’ and its ‘social

distancing’ guidelines. These stories include ‘staying at

home with home entertainment’, ‘non face-to-face working

and schooling’, and ‘virtual traveling’. Even though there are

still numerous cases and cluster infections arising, I wish

you seek your own happiness during this tragic pandemic.

As I mentioned at the beginning of this letter, there will be

a hope and chance to overcome COVID-19 someday like a

flower blooming in nature. Until that day comes, stay safe,

strong, and healthy, and enjoy the stories in JB Life!

Sincerely,

Peter Yi

Words by AARON SNOWBERGER

Korea has been internationally praised

for its response to the global Covid-19

pandemic, but what has it really been

like to like here during this period?

For international readers, as well as a brief review

and reflection on what’s worked and what hasn’t,

here’s an inside look at what it’s been like living in

Jeonju during the outbreak. From canceled events,

to strict social distancing guidelines, and even

postponing the school year for the entire nation,

2020 has certainly been a year to remember, and

not (yet) for really great reasons.

But with “the curve” of coronavirus cases continuing

to flatten in Korea, life is slowly returning to

something that looks a little more “normal.” And

yet, a vaccine appears as of yet still out of reach for

a while, so we may need to get used to this “new

normal” of “in-life social distancing.” But putting

forth a united effort for social problems is one area

where the Korean people really shine, and it’s a

large part of the reason for the country’s success

in dealing with the outbreak so far.

코로나 19 대유행 동안 한국인들의 일상

한국의 코로나 19 의 적절한 대응으로 국제

사회에서 칭찬받고 있는 가운데, 이곳에 사는

사람들의 실생활은 어떨까요? 여러가지 행사

적국적인 휴교령까지 올해 2020년은 확실히

기억에 남는 해가 되었습니다. 한국의 코로나

확진자가 줄고 있는 상황에서 사람들의

생활은 점점 ‘일상’으로 복귀하는 것처럼

보이지만, 아직 백신이 개발될 기미를 보이지

않고 있어 ‘새로운 일상인 생활 속 사회적

거리 두기’에 익숙해져야 할 필요가 있습니다.

그러나 사회문제를 위해 모두 단합하여

노력하는 것은 한국인들이 진정으로 빛나는

한 분야로서 현재까지 한국이 코로나19

방역에 성공할 수 있었던 큰 이유 중 하나이다.

Coronavirus in Korea

n Korea

COVID-19

JANUARY

FEBRUARY

MARCH

On January 20, South Korea reported its

first case of the novel coronavirus COVID-

19. At that time, it was all completely new,

a developing story coming out of China,

and one that nobody here seemed too

worried about. In fact, only four days later,

from January 24-26, the Lunar New Year

holiday (Seollal) was due to take place

and millions of people were already set

to travel. Many Chinese students had

also booked plane tickets home for the

long weekend, and the most we could say

at that time was, “Be careful on your trip.”

But by January 23, a day before the

holiday, Wuhan and the whole of Hubei

province were locked down. Shortly after

that, in early February, the rest of China

followed suit. Students who had traveled

abroad for the holiday had a difficult

time coming back to Korea and were told

to self-quarantine for a minimum of one

week. One of our friends, a PhD student

in town, is still stuck in Hubei province.

My family from the US were due to visit

us for the last two weeks of February. We

cautioned them to “travel safe” and they

told us they'd be wearing masks.

On February 18, the day after they arrived,

Patient 31 was identified in Daegu and

we started receiving more Emergency

Alert messages on our phones with

location information for confirmed cases.

At one point, the Starbucks and Lotte

Mart near my house were identified and

closed for a day or two for sterilization.

We'd already booked a trip to Yeosu the

following week, but when we returned

to Jeonju, Daegu case numbers were

exploding and we decided to remain

home for the remainder of their visit. In

the last week of February, the US raised

its Travel Alert to South Korea twice, from

Level 1 (exercise normal precautions), to

Level 2 (exercise increased caution), to

Level 3 (reconsider travel).

My family returned home without incident

but were quarantined for two weeks.

By early March, public schools nationwide

had postponed reopening, and businesses

that were susceptible to cluster infections

like churches, gyms, dine-in restaurants,

and bars, were encouraged to voluntarily

close their doors for a minimum of two

weeks. Many did so. Businesses turned

to work-from-home strategies, churches

produced online content, and gyms

extended memberships. The university

I work at had teachers record video

lessons and assign online homework.

Other universities turned to Zoom for

video conferencing classes.

We spent March and April living in

two-week intervals. Every two weeks,

the government would reassess the

developing situation, impose new safety

guidelines, and decide whether or not

(and how) to allow things to reopen.

7

APRIL

MAY

By April, we'd mostly grown accustomed to

the new lives we were living. Regulations

varied, but many buildings limited the

number of entrances and simultaneous

visitors, while body heat cameras recorded

temperatures as people entered. Upon

entering a space, visitors were required

to sign-in with their contact information,

and in some cases, a QR code was scanned

by a visitor’s phone to track their location.

Masks were worn indoors at all times.

Hand sanitizer was widely available, even

in hallways and elevators. A minimum

of 1-meter space was encouraged or

blocked off with tape in lines or at tables.

Desks, doorknobs, counter-tops, and other

surfaces were regularly disinfected.

Korea determined to send students back

to school in waves after postponing the

start date four times. On April 9, 16, and

22, students went "back to school" in their

own living rooms with online classes.

A mandatory 14-day quarantine for ALL

inbound travelers (including citizens) was

imposed, as well as stricter penalties for

broken quarantine (up to one-year in prison

or a 10 million won fine). Symptomatic

travelers are now tested immediately at

the airport, and asymptomatic travelers

are tested at a public health center within

days after arrival. All inbound travelers

must install the Self-Quarantine Safety

Protection App and the Self-Diagnosis

App on their phones to provide regular

check-ins about their condition. And the

Korean government covers all costs for

testing and treatment, though "livelihood

support is not provided.”

Although Korea has continued to have

small cluster infections, the daily new

cases count has remained below 100

since April 1 (averaging only 30 per day).

Therefore, most of the economy has

returned almost back to normal, within

the guidelines set by the government.

Baseball and soccer have resumed

without spectators. Public school

children, returning in waves, are finally all

back at school. But many “non-essential”

services and businesses are still running

at a limited capacity. My church, for

example, still isn’t holding children’s

services until at least mid-June. And the

schools where my wife and I work will

not be conducting any non-essential

classes offline until at least the Fall.

REFLECTION

Throughout this whole time, I’ve been

surprised and impressed by the unity and

fortitude of the Korean people, as well as

the strong, yet measured response by the

Korean government. A few things stand

out as particularly noteworthy.

1. Daily briefings from the KCDC were

important to keep people informed.

2. Banners and posters about prevention

and treatment were posted in multiple

languages everywhere.

3. Speedy drive-through testing with

results sent by SMS within hours,

anonymous testing (even for illegals),

separate testing and treatment areas,

and costs covered by the government

for testing and treatment led many

people to get tested quickly and early.

4. BEFORE the first confirmed case in

Korea (January 20), the government

began mass producing and shipping

thousands of tests. Thus, when the

outbreak exploded in Daegu, they

were already prepared for large

amounts of testing.

Images from Wikipedia.org

5. Emergency Alerts to phones prioritized

public health over personal privacy, but

were instrumental in helping people

know when they may have crossed

paths with a confirmed case. (Laws

prioritizing public safety in a National

Crisis went into effect after MERS hit

Korea hard in 2015. This allowed Korea

to use CCTV, GPS data on phones, and

credit card records to trace confirmed

cases and send alerts.)

Overall, I was impressed by the collective

buy-in of the community. Many wore

masks at least as much to protect others

as themselves, the idea being, "Even

though I"m sure I don't have it, by wearing

this mask inside, I'm letting everyone

else know that I won't be spreading it."

Coronavirus in Korea

Words and photos by

AARON SNOWBERGER

The school year

in Korea this

year was pushed

back by over

three months due to the

coronavirus pandemic and

Korea’s strict social distancing

policies. Some students are

still not back at school, and

many may not return to school

in person until the fall (at the

earliest), a full six months

or more since in-person

classes were canceled. The

cost of canceling of classes

countrywide has had varying

impacts on the different

businesses that make up the

educational landscape.

From public schools, to

private academies, to public

and private universities,

we take a look at how the

pandemic has affected

everyone involved - students,

teachers, parents, and

business owners alike. But

with the reopening of Korea’s

public schools, still within

limitations and adhering to

continued “in-life distancing”

policies, it’s nice to finally

feel like things are starting

to get back to normal. But it’s

important to remember that

keeping schools open will

still require due diligence on

everyone’s part.

COMMUNITY

COVID-CLOSED SCHOOLS

According to an Arirang news report, over

1.5 billion students in 165 countries (or

87% of schools worldwide) have been

affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and

have had to turn to innovative methods

and cutting edge tools to educate their

children. However, many countries are

not nearly as equipped to deal with

the challenges of online education as

Korea. Up to 30% of students in poor

and minority communities in the US, for

example, do not have access to wireless

Internet or digital devices. But when

the first round of online classes began

in South Korea on April 9, the country

saw nearly 99% of its almost 1 million

registered middle and high school

seniors in attendance.

The biggest stumbling block for online

education appeared early on in systems

that greatly underestimated the number

of simultaneous connections and data

load their servers would need to be able

to handle. But after the initial technical

glitches and connection problems were

addressed, the second round of online

classes, beginning on April 16, focused

on stabilizing the system overall to

accommodate another 4 million students

connecting at the same time.

THE FIRST DAY! (ONLINE)

Online teaching methods vary from

school to school, but most schools were

encouraged to use either the Korea

Education and Research Information

Service (KERIS) website or the Educational

Broadcasting System (EBS) television

programs. Many students received a

shipment of textbooks from their schools,

and EBS showed lectures from those

textbooks at set times during the day.

My first-grader, for example, watched

first grade lessons from her textbooks

from 9-9:30 and 10-10:30am every

morning (second graders were given the

alternating 30-minute block).

My third-grader was given daily lessons

through the KERIS e-Learning website

that combined blog posts, YouTube videos,

and other activities with offline homework

assignments from his textbooks. Parents

were encouraged to send photos of their

children’s homework to the teachers and

“take attendance”.

Most public school teachers have been at

school preparing for the school year since

March 2, the original starting date. This

probably aided the transition to online

education. But now, after only about

a month of online classes, all public

school students (save about 500 schools

in areas with

ongoing cluster

infections) are

back in their

physical school

buildings, with

strict social

distancing rules

in place.


STRICT SOCIAL DISTANCING

The strict social

distancing rules

in schools mirror

those imposed

elsewhere, but

are more specific

to schools.

Face masks are required at all times

inside buildings, but are optional outside

and where a two-meter distance can be

maintained between students. Only one

or two main doors are unlocked and body

temperature cameras greet students as

they shuffle in single file (masking tape

on the floor marks off a "safe" distance).

In classrooms, one corner contains a

basket with extra hand sanitizer, masks,

and a thermometer. Students wipe down

and disinfect desks and doorknobs, and

the teacher does a second temperature

check. Desks are spaced out in exam

rows and fitted with plastic dividers.

Plastic dividers are also installed in

cafeterias with a tape-marked X in spots

to the front and side of each open seat,

or with every student facing in the same

direction. To facilitate the new setup,

different grade levels are assigned set

dining times to not overcrowd the space.

Cafeteria periods are not the only things

that differ. Schools have also set different

arrival and break times for different

grade levels. At some schools, particularly

in more populous areas, students are

assigned particular days of the week to

attend school offline, and other days to

attend school online, so that only oneto

two-thirds of the school is occupied

at any one time. In some schools, only

high school seniors physically attend

class every day, and classes that once

stretched into the evening have been

cut short to end in the early afternoon.

Air-conditioning is allowed so long as it

is kept to a low intensity level and the

windows are opened at least twice per

hour to ventilate the classroom.

Students are prohibited from visiting

Internet cafes and singing rooms after

two high school seniors in Incheon

tested positive for COVID-19 on opening

day and forced 66 schools in the vicinity

to temporarily close. They are allowed to

take 34 days off this year to stay home and

study, which is more than double previous

years. If any student shows symptoms of

the virus, they are sent home or isolated

in an observation room until a guardian

can pick them up. And any student who

has previously tested positive for the virus

must provide a negative test result before

they are allowed back in school.

That's a long list of rules! But it really

doesn’t take long to get used to them.

Inconvenient at times, yes, but when

considered in light of the rest of Korea's

response to the pandemic, not bad.

And honestly, what's really been most

impressive about this situation hasn't

been the government's strict regulations,

but rather the collective action of the

people who trust and follow them.

Korea, I am able to share many cultural experiences

with international students. In this way, I think we, as

international students, are able to adjust well and

study in Korea quickly without any issues.

ɔ 5. Have you ever traveled in Jeollabuk-do?

What is your favorite place and why?

My favorite place in Jeollabuk-do is the Hanok

Village. You can wear Hanbok and see traditional

Korean things there.

ɔ 6. What is your biggest dream after you

finish your studies?

I want to be a teacher who teaches Korean

language when I graduate from university.

I came to Korea for the first time in April 2018,

when I came to Jeonju to see Jeonju University.


At that time, we had an event at the school, and

the cherry blossoms were blooming and made the

atmosphere great. So I decided to study there. I felt

it was a good choice and I’m glad I decided to come.


I made many friends, and I wasn't as lonely as I thought.

When I have free time, I participate in many activities at

school and I also get lots of help from my Korean friends.

ɔ 4. How would you describe your experience as an

international student in Korea?

I can experience various Korean cultures as an

international student in Korea. Most of my friends in

Korea are kind we get invited to many social activities.

As an international student, we are more cared for, so

our learning experience has been amazing.

ɔ 5. Have you ever traveled in Jeollabuk-do?

What is your favorite place, and why?

My favorite place in Jeonju is Hanok Village.

There is a bridge to the east of Hanok Village.

I took a walk with my friend last summer and

accidentally crossed the bridge. It was so cool

and you can see the night view of Hanok

Village. It's very beautiful.

ɔ 6. What is your biggest dream after you

finish your studies?

The most impressive thing about Korea is the

coffee shop culture. There are many cafes in

Korea and the interior style is very pretty.

Since I majored in business administration, I

want to open a pretty cafe in my hometown

after graduating from college.

I came to Korea for the first time in November

Korean dramas, so I came to Korea to study.


Jeonju is a beautiful and quiet place in Korea, so

I chose it because it was recommended by my

teachers.


It's hard without my parents, but a lot of good people

and foreign friends help me a lot, so I'm still learning

Korean. I study Korean hard and do volunteer work.

I still don't know many things, but I am enjoying my

Travel Wish List

BUAN

“The beauty of a staycation is that not only are

you adhering to social distancing but you’re also

supporting local travel spots and businesses. It requires

minimal travel but it can be just as rewarding.”

Afew years ago the term “healing”

became a popular catchword

for different ways to de-stress,

whether through a travel destination, a

spa session, or a simple activity such as

hiking or meditation. All over the world,

“staycation,” or “holistay,” a portmanteau of

the words “stay” and “vacation” or “holiday”

and “stay” are widely known as indulging

in relaxing leisure activities without

traveling abroad or going outdoors. In

the wake of the pandemic, healing and

staycation have become more desirable

and appealing to people who want to get

away without jetting off on an airplane to

somewhere far away and putting oneself

and others at risk.

A weekend staycation can be a way

to experience an easy, affordable and

hassle-free holiday, while experiencing

the “feeling of traveling” without

actually having to. Even after Korea

has started loosening social distancing

measures, some people prefer to ease

into traveling while avoiding crowds

and tourist destinations. In Jeollabuk-do,

Buan is famous for its resorts and hotels

that highlight the county’s beautiful

landscape and seaside views. It’s a

dynamic place that offers a variety of

activities and places the whole family

can enjoy while on staycation.

BUAN’S PRIDE

Buan is bounded by vast seas, with most

of its area transformed into reclaimed

lands. One of its most bountiful natural

resources is seafood, which includes

fresh, salted and dried varieties. These

are mostly products

caught from the

Byeonsan Peninsula

coast. At the Buan

Public Fish Market,

you can buy and

sample seafood

and seashells that

are the pride of

Buan’s hardworking

fishermen. Before your staycation, it’s

best to drop by this market to stock up

on seafood you can cook or grill indoors.

A RELAXING ESCAPE

Barahan Hotel and Spa sits on top of

a small hill that overlooks the Buan

seas. In the morning, the sun gleams

on the water, creating a captivating

mix of green and blue colors, while in

the late afternoon, the sunset gives the

environment a warm, pink and orange

glow. This is why the hotel describes itself

as a place “complete with the romantic

sea, freedom, and exciting views.” All

rooms in the hotel are equipped with a

jacuzzi, loft-type bedrooms, a functional

kitchen, and wide glass windows that let

in the natural light. Guests also have the

option of reserving a table and grill at

the barbecue area, where they can enjoy

freshly cooked meat, seafood, and drinks.

The beauty of staycation is that not only

are you adhering to social distancing but

you’re also supporting local travel spots

and businesses. It requires minimal

travel but it can be just as rewarding. A

staycation just might be the best option

to unwind and reset.

Travel Wish List

GUNSAN

“I felt quite a ‘Jurassic Park’ vibe as I

wandered about. I imagined what dinosaurs

might be lurking behind the rocky green peaks.”

This hot and humid summer,

if you haven’t fully sated

your desire for exploring

islands, consider this

island, called Seonyudo (선유도), off

the coast of the city of Gunsan, South

Korea, in the Jeollabuk-do province.

Seonyudo is one of four main islands,

connected by a chain of highways and

bridges, spanning the Yellow Sea, off the

western coast of Korea. Recently, bridges

have been built, so you can easily drive

a car from Gunsan to these four islands,

problem free. Before these bridges,

taking a small ferry was necessary to

reach these islands. Now, you can take

your own vehicle or you can rent a car,

which is quite simple and efficient in

Korea, done at the touch of a button

from a cellphone application.

Seonyudo, which originally means

something similar to “a beautiful place

where celestial beings wander”, in

particular, is one of the most popular

destinations for island travel on the

west coast. Tourism to this island has

certainly increased from year to year

and is now a busy hot spot. The island

certainly lives up to its name, for the

island seems right out of a fairytale.

The island boasts white sand beaches

and vividly blue waters. Surrounding

the island on all sides are majestic

mountains with sharp, green peaks.

When taking strolls around the island,

and perhaps taking some off beaten

paths around the main ports, you might

feel stunned by the rich green hues of

the mountains and grass surrounding

you. I felt quite a “Jurassic Park” vibe

as I wandered about. I imagined what

Dinosaurs might be lurking behind the

rocky green peaks.

Other than venturing around the island

by foot, you can easily rent scooters or

bicycles to get you around. I recommend

the scooter, as you don’t need a license

to drive around this fun, motorized

vehicle. The island gets quite hot, so

enjoying the breeze from the scooter

or bicycle is refreshing. Otherwise, you

can take a dip in the water from the

surrounding shores. For locals, the beach

is a popular place to splash around and

sit under an umbrella. If you are brave

enough, you can ride on a blow-up boat

that is pulled behind a motorboat at

high speeds for a fun ride through the

waves. Cooling off at the beach, either

way, is essential to avoiding the hot

summer sun. However, there are plenty

of fish, sea food restaurants, and cafes

surrounding the island to take a break

from the heat.

Not only are the beaches a great place to

relax, if not a bit busy, the natural views

of the jagged mountains are stunning,

as if the island itself is cupped in the

palm of the mountains. Do yourself a

favor and take a visit to this popular

destination if you haven’t already, which

is now more easily accessible than ever

before. Enjoy getting your tan on!

IKSAN

Iksan has been gaining attention as of late

because of its interesting cafes, traditional

food spots, and foreigner favorites.

A SUBURBAN

GETAWAY

A SMALL CITY WITH BIG SURPRISES

Words & Photos by BREE DUNN

Iksan is a suburban area near

Jeonju, often overlooked by the

flashier, much larger cities nearby.

With unfamiliar territory, it can be

hard to break into the groove of a place

and figure out what clicks. Plus, humans

are creatures of habit and much prefer

going to areas that they have been to,

heard about, or have a connection with.

But, with freedom around the corner, you

can spend less than 3,000 won to travel to

Iksan and get respite from the suffocating

indoors, crowded places, and fast-paced

environments. Additionally, Iksan has

been gaining attention as of late because

of its interesting cafes, traditional food

spots, and foreigner favorites.

The list of noteworthy cafes is climbing,

with a special shoutout to Ordo and Arera.

While different in a lot of ways, both

incorporate elements of nature inside.

Ordo is run by a couple where they mix

modern elements with new aged touches

that make the place feel equally classic

and mod. They have a main open area

built for many people to sit and also

have a small lounge area with couches

and individual chairs. In one of the rooms

are a bunch of small chairs and mirrors

covered on a bed of wood shavings,

giving the feeling that you are at a sci-fi

backyard party. Then comes Arera, a large,

simple, and neutral space, with beautiful

wooden furniture and servingware. It’s not

the relaxing environment, scenic view, or

tasty desserts that make it so special, but

the fact that it has a giant wooden swing

right in the middle of the cafe!

As for the foreign favorites, it was to

my delight that there was a Popeyes, a

famous Louisiana chicken chain from

North America, right next to the train

station. This is one of the better fastfood

restaurants that are hard to come

by in Korea. Then, there is an underrated

brunch spot named Apilco, on the first

floor of a famous local wedding hall.

They serve classics such as, pancakes,

french toast, and fresh salads.

As for traditional food, Jinmi restaurant

has been passed down from generation

to generation, serving its signature

Yukhoe Bibimbap. Being that it is so

close to Jeonju, it has created friendly

competition between the two places.

The fact that people travel outside of

the food capital to try it, says a lot.

Iksan has flown under the radar for most

visitors traveling to Jeollabuk-do, but it’s

a place of character, delicious food, and

remarkable cafes. It’s a place where you

might have to look a little bit harder

to find the magic, but once you do, you

will understand why so many locals and

visitors make their way back.

익산: 교외로 가는 길 (번역: 김진희)

익산은 전주 근처의 교외 지역으로, 인근의 훨씬 큰

도시들 때문에 종종 두드러지지 않습니다. 익산은

상대적으로 인근 도시보다 생소하여 방문객이 뜸하거나,

그곳에서 할만한 것이 있는지에 대해서 알기 어렵습니다.

하지만, 사회적 거리 두기로부터 자유로워질 때 익산은

전주에서 방문하기에 교통비가 3,000원도 안되게 싸게

갈 수 있는 장소 이며, 숨막히는 실내, 붐비는 장소,

그리고 빠르게 흘러가는 환경으로부터 휴식을 제공하는

곳입니다. 게다가, 익산에는 흥미로운 카페, 전통 음식,

그리고 외국인들이 좋아하는 곳들이 있어서 최근 들어

주목을 받고 있습니다. 주목할 만한 카페로는 오르도와

아레라가 있는데, 각자 나름대로 특징이 있지만, 두 곳

다 내부에 자연공간이 잘 조성되어 있습니다. 오르도는

실내 뒤뜰에 임시로 만들어진 공상과학적인 공간이

있고, 아레라는 카페 한가운데에 거대한 나무 그네가

있습니다. 외국인들이 좋아하는 곳은 유명한 루이지애나

치킨가게와 최고의 음식을 제공하는 숨겨진 브런치

레스토랑입니다. 전통 음식으로는 진미식당에서 대대로

전해져 오는 대표적인 메뉴인 육회비빔밥이 있습니다.

익산은 전라북도를 방문한 여행자들에게 주목받는

지역은 아니지만, 익산만의 특징과 맛있는 음식, 그리고

주목할 만한 카페가 있는 곳입니다. 익산의 특별한

매력을 찾기 위해선 다른 지역보다 조금 더 열심히

살펴보아야 하는 지역이지만, 일단 특별한 매력을 찾게

된다면, 많은 현지인과 방문객이 익산을 재방문하는

이유를 이해할 수 있을 것입니다.

TRAVEL

PRE-SMARTPHONE TRIP PLANNING

Three of my most memorable trips took place in

2007. The first was a nine-day solo trek across

southern Japan in the summer. I hit over a dozen

locations in nine cities in nine days - at a time

before smartphones really existed (the first

generation iPhone was released in the US on June

29, 2007, just one month earlier). Shortly after that,

I visited Hong Kong for five days, then Jeju island

for seven. Without an Internet-capable smartphone

in my pocket, each experience required careful

research, planning, and organization, but that was

at least half the fun of each trip.

Fuji Mtn, Japan • July 2007

At that time, I could spend weeks leading up to

any excursion researching everything I could find

out about a place through the Internet at home

using sites like Wikipedia, Wikitravel, and websites

built for individual locations and services. Google

Maps and Google Earth provided me a good way

to map out my trips, and the newly launched

"Street View" (May 25, 2007) even allowed me to

virtually stroll around the streets in some of the

bigger cities that had already been photographed

for the service. After two weeks of in-depth

“detective work” on a trip, I’d already virtually

seen and traveled to nearly every location I was

planning to visit. So when I finally packed up and

left my house, everything went quite smoothly

and according to plan. I made sure to carry around

my notebook filled with travel notes, reservation

print-offs, location maps, and destination phone

numbers everywhere I went.

But nowadays, in the age of smartphones and

instant data access, the skill and effort once

required to pull off such an excursion has been

forgotten. Often, we just set out on an adventure

and look up information on the phone as we go.

Therefore, let me remind you about how to plan

a big trip like this from the comfort of your own

home. That way, you too can virtually visit ANY

place you choose to this summer, and then when

this pandemic is over, you’ll already have the

beginnings of a top-notch tour in place.

Hong Kong Harbor • Aug 2007

Halla Mtn, Korea • Sep 2007


Step 1) Research possible destinations

Wikipedia, Wikitravel, and Lonely Planet are

good places to start. Get some ideas for:

1. What to see

2. What to do

3. What to eat

Step 2) Investigate attractions to "visit"

Check out location-specific websites: museums,

attractions, restaurants, or travel blogs.

Some attractions even have "360 VR" photos

and videos, or "virtual tours."

Step 3) Virtually “Tour”

"Street View" in Google, Naver, and Kakao Maps offers

a 360° camera on every main road.

But Naver Maps pushes things further with "Sky View"

- a helicopter viewpoint over large cities like Seoul, and

"Street View" inside some of the most famous attractions

in Korea - including inside Gyeonggijeon in Jeonju!

Optional) Organize your schedule

Although you may not be able to travel now, it still

might be fun to break out some bus and train times,

or sporting event and special performance schedules.

After this pandemic cools down a bit, you might find

that you've put in enough research to justify taking

your "virtual tour" for real.

Destination: Sunchang

“Established only a year ago, Verre Jardin has

rapidly become a popular destination not only with

the locals but also for those living in neighboring

counties looking for a unique cafe experience.”

“H

ow nice it would be if we could

only get through the looking-glass

house! I’m sure it’s got, oh! Such

beautiful things in it!”

This is one of the memorable lines

spoken by the famous character Alice

in Lewis Carroll’s novel, Through the

Looking-Glass. This same vibe can be

felt at Verre Jardin, which in French

literally means “glass garden.” It is

located at the heart of Sunchang,

a mountainous region just 45

minutes away from Jeonju. It is

aptly named because the main

cafe area is designed as a glass

house with towering tropical

trees and high glass ceiling that

gives visitors a nice view of

the infinite blues and whites

of the sky. It looks similar to

a greenhouse, only with an

inviting aroma of coffee

and the delectable sight of

cakes and desserts.

I have seen a lot of

this cafe and for the

it saved in my lists

parents-in-law and we were finally able

to go on a sunny day at the end of Fall,

the perfect time to enjoy the warmth

of the sun. It was an unforgettable time

spent with lighthearted conversations

and delightful coffee.

Established only a year ago, Verre

Jardin has rapidly become a popular

destination not only with the locals

but also for those living in neighboring

counties looking for a unique cafe

experience.

Outside the cafe is a sprawling garden

with outdoor seating where people can

sip their coffee with the soothing sound

of the fountain in the background. It’s

a great spot for the summer, with the

combination of refreshing winds and

cooling droplets of fountain water that

reaches the humid air. It’s a scenic and

stress-free location to sit outside tucked

in the middle of a well-kept garden.

The café prides itself on its gallery hall

which displays colorful works of art and

a more private seating upstairs where

one can view the fountains, making it

truly worth going to.

BUAN

“What makes this cafe a must-visit is that not only

does it promote Buan’s beautiful seaside views,

it also introduces a family-owned brand with

a compelling story, and a noteworthy cause.”

Buan’s reclaimed land has

a prime environment for

making rice: it is close to

the sea, grown in saline

winds, and less subject to damage by

harmful insects. This is why one of

Buan’s specialty products aside from

seafood is homegrown rice.

Gomso or Seuljinae cafe promotes the

high quality rice of Buan by serving

Jjinpang which are typically made with

fermented sourdough using the yeast

in makgeolli. Jjinpang is a traditional

Korean steamed bread which usually

has a red bean filling. The Buan-based

family that owns Seuljine, a jjinpang

brand which has been in existence for

20 years, has been making steamed

buns for the cafe with their secret recipe

which was passed down from generation

to generation. The family ensures that

they always make the jjinpang with

healthy ingredients sourced from Buan.

The cafe serves unique flavors of the

jjinpang: fresh cream, green berry

cream cheese, and blueberry, each with

a distinct taste of their own. These

steamed breads are not just any run-ofthe-mill

kinds you can find on the

streets of Korea. Seuljine brand has won

several food awards, including Award

for the Iron Tower Order of Industrial

Merit and recognized by the 50th rural

convergence industry by the Ministry of

Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. The

brand and the cafe was also featured

in KBS News nationwide and local TV

shows.

Another notable fact about this cafe is

that part of the proceeds from the sale of

the breads are donated to the Steamed

Bread Donation and Community

Scholarship Foundation. What makes

this cafe a must-visit is that not only

does it promote Buan’s beautiful seaside

views, it also introduces a family-owned

brand with a compelling story, and a

noteworthy cause. Keep this cafe in

your travel wish list because not only

will you be getting a taste of delicious

steamed buns, you’ll also be supporting

the Buan community!

K-Drama fans all know Kim Woo Bin as one of

Korea’s heartthrobs known for playing the

“bad boy” onscreen. He captured the attention

of viewers from all over the world with his undeniable

charisma, intense stare, and compelling acting skills. 2013

was his breakout year, when he starred in hit dramas

“School 2013” and “Heirs,” as the rival of famous actor

Lee Min Ho’s character. Some of his most memorable

works are in blockbuster hit crime and thriller films, such

as “Master” and “Wiretap.”

He is an alumni of Jeonju University, which named him

as its honorary ambassador in 2013. Another Jeonju

connection is that his family still lives there. His father

runs Cham in Coffee 참인커피, a traditional hanok cafe

located in Hanok Village. You’ll be able to find photos,

Girls’ Generation is, without a doubt, one of Korea’s

biggest girl groups. They are considered as one

of the prominent figures of hallyu or Korean

wave, which promoted Korean culture all over the world

through their music. With their immense popularity, they

were called "The Nation's Girl Group," with each member

garnering fame on their own.

Taeyeon is the leader of the group, and over the years,

she has released solo albums which skyrocketed in the

charts. She is proud to call Jeonju her hometown, with her

immediate family still living there. Her father owns an

optical shop, selling a vast collection of eyewear in Jeonju.

The shop features photos, awards, and trophies of Taeyeon,

skills and shedding her “idol image.” Seohyun graduated

from Jeonju Arts High School in February 2010, proving to

It seems like most homegrown Jeonju talents end up

popular boy band who has had a huge following in Korea,

Japan, Europe, and Asia. He attended Jeonju National

University High School and was in the school rock band

called "Coma Beat." His parents initially rejected his dream

of pursuing stardom, so he moved to Seoul to audition in

big entertainment companies. His persistence paid off.

Not only did he become the leader of Infinite, he was

also able to release solo albums, star in musicals, and TV

The Jeollabuk-do Center for International Affairs

(JBCIA) is supporting events in foreign communities

to improve the quality of life, sense of belonging,

and independence of expats in Jeollabuk-do. The

support programs for foreign communities began in 2017 and

many events, including sports, art, traditional experiments, and

festivals, have received about 1,000,000 won each year.

The communities’ events plans that will receive the JBCIA’s

support are selected by experts about foreigners (international

students, multicultural students, and so on) in Jeollabuk-do.

This program is expanded every year. For example, 12

communities received funds in 2017, 14 communities received

funds in 2018, and 15 communities were selected in 2019.

전라북도국제교류센터는 전라북도에서 거주하고

있는 외국인들의 삶의 질 향상, 지역사회 참여 소속감

및 자립심 제고 등을 위하여 외국인 동호회들의

행사를 지원해주고 있다. 외국인 동호회 지원사업은

2017년 시작하여 현재까지 동호회들이 스스로

기획하고, 예산을 구성한 체육, 예술, 전통체험,

축제 등 다양한 행사들을 각 단체별로 100만원씩

지원했다.

외국인 동호회 지원사업은 전라북도 내 외국인 분야

(외국인 유학생, 결혼이주여성, 외국인 근로자 등)

전문위원들의 서류심사를 통하여 선정된다. 센터의

본 사업은 2017년에는 12개, 2018년 14개, 2019년

15개로 매년 지원률이 상승하고 있다.

This year especially, the JBCIA will provide between

1,000,000~1,500,000 won to support the communities chosen

by panel of judges who will consider sustainability, the scale

of the event, appropriateness of purpose, and so on.

특히 올해는 전년도와 다르게 지속가능성, 사업의

규모, 사업목적의 적절성 등을 고려하여 심사결과에

따라 150만원~100만원 등 차등적으로 동호회들의

행사를 지원한다.

After the first half of the year, 6 communities were selected for

supoprt programs. These include the Sunchang Multicultural

Volleybal Team, the Jeollabuk-do Vietnamese Association, the

Iksan Philippines English Teacher Community, the Jeollabuk-do

Chinese Teacher's Associtaion, Jeonju Philippine communities,

and so on. These clubs will host their events when the spread

of COVID-19 decreases.

전문가들의 심사를 거친 심사과정 결과 순창 다문화

배구팀, 전북베트남인회, 익산 필리핀 영어교사

모임, 전라북도 중국어 강사협회, 함께, 전주 필리핀

rural areas of Jeollabuk-do. This means a lot to the JBCIA because the

government subsidies can be used to help revive the local economy.

The first JBCIA event was in Gochang, Jeollabuk-do in 2018 (고민말고 Go

창!; Let's Go, Gochang!). The second event was in 2019 in Imsil, Wanju,

Namwon, and Jeongeup. There were a total of 90 participants (expats,

multicultural families, international students, and Korean families) and

they enjoyed making Imsil cheese, a pansori lesson, and more at the

rural villages in Jeollabuk-do. They also visited the “Namwon Chunhyang

Festival” which is one of the great festivals in Jeollabuk-do.

The main topic for this year is “International Salons in Jeollabuk-do”. This

theme is derived from the word “salon” where people gather around each

other in harmony. Thus, participants will gather in a rural village which

is full of clean air, and the beautiful natural environment of Jeollabuk-do.

The 1st event is in July at Muju/Jinan; the 2nd in September at Wanju;

the 3rd will be in October in Gimje. For the 3rd program, participants will

visit the “Gimje Horizon Festival 2020” and experience the marvelous,

endless, golden horizon in Gimje.

전라북도국제교류센터는 한국농어촌공사 공모사업 2020

도농교류협력사업에 선정됨으로서 3년 연속 선정이라는

쾌거를 이루었다. 도농교류협력사업은 도시와 농촌 사람들

간 교류를 활성화하고, 우수한 한국의 농촌 소득증대와

글로벌 홍보를 도모하는 목적의 국고보조금 프로젝트이다.

이 사업은 지속적으로 전라북도국제교류센터가 매년

선정됨으로서 국고보조금을 받고 있는 사업이라는 점에서

그 의미가 크다.

2018년(고민말고 Go창)을 시작으로 운영한

전라북도국제교류센터의 도농교류협력사업은 2019

년 외국인과 함께하는 시골학교를 주제로 총90명의

외국인과 한국인들이 전라북도의 임실, 완주, 남원,

정읍에 있는 아름다운 농촌마을에서 임실치즈체험,

판소리 체험 등 전라북도의 전통문화체험, 남원 춘향제

등 전라북도의 우수한 축제마당을 방문한 바 있다.

올해 2020년에는 국제살롱 in 전라북도라는 주제이다.

한자리에 모여 교류와 화합을 이루어 내는 장소인 살롱

(salon)의 개념을 차용하여 전라북도의 깨끗한 공기와

자연환경이 있는 농촌에서 외국인과 도시민들이 모이는

국제살롱이라는 뜻에서 주제를 선정 하였다.

이번 년도에는 제1회(7월) 무주/진안, 제2회(9월)

완주, 제3회(10월) 김제를 방문하여 외국인과 한국인

간 즐거운 농촌체험프로그램을 운영할 예정이다. 특히

10월에는 전라북도의 대표적 문화축제인 ‘김제 지평선

축제’에 참석하여 황금빛 들녘이 펼쳐지는 김제의

아름다운 평야를 체험할 예정이다.

Anyone who is interested in rural living and various experiences in

Jeollabuk-do can participate in this program. It is free of charge for 2

days and includes an overnight program, and accomodation in the rural

village. Please visit JBCIA’s homepage (www.jbcia.or.kr) for details.

전라북도 농촌에 관심 있는 다문화 가족, 외국인 유학생,

결혼이주여성, 외국인 근로자, 한국 도시민 등 무료 참여

가능하다. 각 회차별 프로그램은 향후 센터 홈페이지

공지사항을 참고하면 된다.

FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

외국인 유학생의 전라북도

라이프 스타일 안내서!

The Jeollabuk-do Center for International Affairs

(JBCIA) published the 전라북도 외국인 유학생

정착 길라잡이 (Guidebook for International

Students’ Settlement in Jeollabuk-do) in June

for improving the quality of life for international students

in Jeollabuk-do.

First, the JBCIA visited the universities and international

students in Jeollabuk-do to discuss the contents of this

book in February. The guidebook needed varied and

important information for international students who

just arrived in Korea. Based on these meetings, the JBCIA

created a first draft of the guidebook.

After several revisions, the book grew full of information

about medical centers in Jeollabuk-do, how to join

and use the 1365 volunteer portal, transportation,

immigration and visas, and also included information

about Jeollabuk-do’s tourist spots along with simple

Korean expressions for various places and situations.

전라북도국제교류센터는 전라북도에 거주하는 외국인 유학생들의

원활한 전라북도 생활을 위하여 “전라북도 정착 길라잡이”

안내서를 발간하였다. JBCIA는 먼저 2월부터 이 안내서를 만들기

위해 외국인 유학생, 외국인 유학생 담당자 들에게 한국에 왔을

때, 외국인 유학생들이 가장 필요로 하는 정보가 어떤것인지에

대해 이야기를 나눈 바 있다. 이를 기반으로, 센터는 책자 만들기

작업을 시작하게 되었다.

여러번의 수정을 거쳐 만들어진 책자의 내용은 전라북도의

의료기관, 공인인증서 발급방법, 한국에서 많이 쓰이는

어플리케이션 추천, 1365 봉사활동 포털사이트 사용법 등

전라북도에서 생활하는 외국인 유학생들이 알아두면 좋은

정보들부터, 출입국, 법률·취업, 전라북도의 유명명소, 상황·

장소별 한국어 회화 등 다양한 정보가 포함되어 있다.

이 안내서는 한국어, 영어, 중국어, 베트남어 번역본이 한권 안에

모두 수록되어 있어 다양한 언어권의 외국인 유학생들이 전라북도

생활에 빨리 적응 할 수 있도록 지원할 예정이다. “전라북도

외국인 유학생 정착 길라잡이”는 구독 신청한 각 대학 외국인

유학생 담당 부서에서 만나 볼 수 있다.

For students from different regions, there are translations in

Korean, English, Chinese, and Vietnamese. This guidebook

will support international students' early adaptation to

Jeollabuk-do and it will be available in the International

Student Affairs Office in each university (upon request).

Additionally, the JBCIA held media auditions in March

and April for making videos in English and Chinese

about key information from this guide book. The

videos will be posted on the JBCIA’s homepage

and YouTube channel in July.

또한, 전라북도국제교류센터는 이 안내서의 내용 중

핵심적인 내용이 들어간 영어, 중국어동영상을

제작하기 위하여 지난 3월~4월 미디어 오디션을

진행하였다. 오디션에 합격한 배우들이 나오는

“전라북도 외국인 유학생 정착 길라잡이”

동영상은 7월 중 전라북도 국제교류센터

홈페이지, 유투브

등에 게시될

예정이다.

2020 Gyeonggijeon "Return of the Storyteller" Regular Performance

전주 한옥마을 경기전에 내에 있는

수복청에서 펼쳐지는 “돌아온

이야기꾼들의 단막창극” 공연이다.

In Jeonju Hanok Village's Gyeonggijeon at the Subokcheong

building, a one act Korean traditional opera performance

titled "The Return of the Storytellers" will be performed.

June 6 ~ November 1, 2020

Every Sat / Sun 15:30-16:30

Subokcheong in Gyeonggijeon

수복청이라는 공간을 다양하게

활용하고, 기존의 판소리를 현대적인

감각으로 재해석해 편안한 분위기에

이뤄지는 공연이다. 판소리 5바탕 中

춘향가, 흥보가, 심청가의 재치 있고

유쾌한 대목만을 모아 3바탕을 새롭고

독특한 형식을 가미하여 하나의

단막창극 스토리로 엮었다.

경기전을 찾은 관객들에게는

국악기로 듣는 흥겨운 우리 음악과

선물같은 공연이 될 것이다.

This is a unique performance that uses a variety of spaces

called Subokcheong to create a comfortable atmosphere, and

reinterprets the existing Korean pansori opera in a modern

style. The performance gathers together three of the most

witty and pleasant of the five surviving stories of the Korean

pansori storytelling tradition: Chunhyangga, Heungboga, and

Shimcheongga, and combines them into a single act story in

a new and unique form.

The performance will be an unexpected gift for visitors to

Gyeonggijeon where the audience can experience both the

exciting music and pleasant stories of Korean traditional

pansori.

How did people live in Gyeonggijeon? Listen to historic

stories told by characters from the Joseon Dynasty who

have known the history of Jeonju since ancient times.

Through the investigation and analysis of historical

facts and representative figures of Jeonju, we scripted

a performance that would be interesting to any

audience who visits Gyeonggijeon.

A total of nine characters have been decided upon, and

these characters are composed of people who may have

lived in Jeonju for a long time or fictional characters

who would have existed before Gyeonggijeon. They

aim to provide historical facts about Gyeonggijeon and

Jeonju to tourists. Their roles are acted out casually

and interestingly, and will pique interest in historical

culture while including educational messages.

By approaching tourists more authentically with these

programs, the basic objective is to express and convey

the identity of the region and spirit of Jeonju to tourists.

전주의 역사적 사실과 대표 인물에 대한

조사 및 분석을 통해 경기전을 찾은

관객들이 흥미있게 받아들일 내용의

대본화 작업을 실시하였다.

총 9명의 캐릭터가 결정되었으며, 이러한

캐릭터는 이곳 전주에서 오래전부터

거주하고 있을법한 인물 또는 경기전에

존재했을 가상의 인물로 구성하였다.

이들은 경기전 안에서 일어난 역사적 사실

또는 전주가 지닌 역사적 사실을 보다 쉽고

재미있게 각자의 역할을 연기를 바탕으로

선보여, 이를 지켜보는 관광객에게 교육적

메시지를 포함한 역사 문화에 대한 흥미까지

제공하고자 하는 목적을 가지고 있다.

이러한 프로그램으로 보다 진정성 있게

관광객에게 다가감으로써 전주정신을

비롯한 지역의 정체성을 관광객에게

표현하고 전달하고자 하는 기본 방향을

꾀하고 있다.
