A Warm Old
Neighborhood
in Busan.90s Korean houses · Next to Jimin's hometown

Three private rooms in Seodong, a hilly old neighborhood in Geumjeong-gu, Busan. Each room has its own character — like staying at a grandmother's house. Quiet writing retreats, manga & projector nights, family stays. We're in the next neighborhood from where BTS Jimin actually grew up.

English-friendly hosts. No Korean phone needed. Book via Airbnb or Instagram DM.

Why are you coming?

✍️

I want a quiet writing retreat

No TV, no manga, no screens. Just a desk, lamp, and silence. The neighborhood is hilly, calm, and old.

I want manga & projector nights

Demon Slayer, One Piece, Dragon Ball — read late, watch movies on a big beam projector.
