Jaeganjeong (18 Dobong-ro 101-gil) is an emotional complex cultural space with a total floor area of 330.9 square meters on a single ground floor. It is a relaxing spot where visitors can enjoy books, music, and coffee while appreciating the natural scenery of the Ui Stream. The district expects it to become a new local hub where residents can stay and experience healing, leisure, and culture together.


As its name suggests, Jaeganjeong (在澗亭) means "a pavilion in the valley." The name originates from the pavilion that once stood at the ninth and final bend of the historic Uigugok, and it carries symbolic meaning by reviving the spirit of the vanished old pavilion as a modern complex space. The facility is open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday, and is closed on Mondays and public holidays.



Lee Soonhee, Mayor of Gangbuk-gu, stated, "We will develop Jaeganjeong into a landmark of Ui Stream where nature, culture, and local businesses come together," adding, "I hope it will offer visitors rest and relaxation while revitalizing the surrounding commercial area."
