YOU N Every Experience in Gangnam, Unik Tour

Continuous operation

Is there any sentence that can explain Gangnam as well as the theme of ‘the most special Gangnam story waiting for you’? Special spaces, cultures, and experiences available only in Gangnam await.Facing the past

When I think of Gangnam, it seems like there was only the present and the future. However, Gangnam was nothing but rice fields until the 1970s. There is time to learn about the history of that change. The first and second complexes began in June 1976 with the first occupancy, and by the 14th in April 1987, Apgujeong Hyundai Apartments formed a large complex with a total of 6,148 households. Construction began in January 1966 and was completed four years later in December 1969. Hannam Bridge, the fourth bridge built on the Han River, was built in May 1978. Business approval was obtained on the 27th, and you can take the time to look into the history of apartment complexes that have become the standard for today's lifestyle in Korea, including Eunma Apartment and Eunma Shopping Center, which were completed on September 3, 1979, and the real past of Gangnam.

To learn about the culture and history of the city

In order to make the best choice in the face of multiple options, we look back on the past and look into history to gain the wisdom of our ancestors. Knowing history itself is a good learning experience. As the saying goes, there is no future for a people who forgets history, so if you know history, you can understand and feel that country and city more deeply. Gangnam is conducting traditional cultural experiences at Bongeunsa Temple and Seonjeongneung Royal Tombs to promote the history and culture of Gangnam to foreigners. It allows you to experience the mystery and beauty among tall buildings, temple pilgrimage at Bongeunsa Temple, which preserves Korea's history, and Buddhist culture such as Daseon and Geumni Sagyeong. In addition, at Seonjeongneung Royal Tombs, we provided an experience to feel the tradition of Confucianism by imagining the appearance of ancient scholars, wearing Hanbok, and touring the royal tombs.

A more fun time together than alone

As the number of single-person households increases, many people do not know who lives next door, upstairs, or downstairs. The time itself to share something with someone has become difficult. In today's environment, Gangnam has created a time to share your favorite hobby with someone you don't know. Professional instructors provide support from stretching to courses, so even beginners can run with other people through the nightscape of Gangnam's Dosan Park and Samsung Station without worry, as well as Ktown4u Academy, where you can get a glimpse of the live K-pop training scene, and even the opportunity to learn the most popular K-pop dances with professional instructors. We can experience more fun times in Gangnam because we are together.
