[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Seongbuk-gu (Mayor Lee Seung-ro) is operating the 2021 First Half Hanok Academy under the theme "Hanok as a Living Space in the 21st Century."

The 2021 First Half Hanok Academy, held non-face-to-face from May 4 to June 1, is diversely composed, including basic knowledge of hanok and field trips where participants can directly see modern living hanok.

The hanok education program is currently operated only in Jongno-gu and Seongbuk-gu in Seoul, and the "Seongbuk-gu Hanok Academy" is an educational course continuing for nine years, aiming to preserve hanok, which is disappearing in modern architecture, and to inherit traditional architecture as a living history.

Anyone interested in hanok, regardless of age or gender, can apply for the course, and it has gained high popularity not only among Seongbuk-gu residents but also among neighboring residents with a special interest in hanok.

This Hanok Academy has arranged time to meet living hanok homeowners who live in and experience hanok firsthand, allowing participants to visit and indirectly experience the actual houses. It also plans to explore the hanok support policies promoted by Seoul City for hanok homeowners and those who intend to utilize hanok in the future.
