Hanok

specifically the KB Cookman Bank branch in downtown Gyeongju.

I have been staying in a Hanok guest house, but I am looking for a permanent flat.

The lease requires proof of residence registration.

That means I need an alien registration card.

The seven members recently dropped a self-cam video for their track Focus On Me in its Korean version, and they did it in full traditional handbook, giving off relaxed vibes while still keeping that bright, playful A.E.N. energy fans love.

Moving between a traditional Hanok house and outdoor scenery, the members showed a totally different side of themselves, dancing freely and making silly faces that felt worlds away from their polished stage performances.

They didn't stop there either, following it up with a Hamburg choreography version of their debut title track X to Z next to me.

Also in Korean, creating this really cool contrast between traditional dress and powerful modern choreography, A.E.N. made their official debut back on August 5th with their mini-album A New Era of Now, led by the title track X to Z next to me.

And I have one place you can recommend to your friend this week and starting tomorrow.

Namsan-gol Hanok Village is holding its Chuseok festival, Namsan Moonlight Madang.

So it runs from September 25th through the 27th from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

So admission is free, although some activities and food cost extra.

But anyways, because I used to work at a radio station near here.

Yes.

Have you ever been to the Namsanggol Hanok Village?

Yes.

And they start opening cafes.

But they found that preserving the original Hanok frame was much better than just tearing it down and replacing it with another bland concrete building.

And that's how you found this style of Iksondong.

Now that's a little bit controversial because some Hanok preservationists have said that this act of, uh, this act of redesigning these Hanoks for businesses, for cafes, still might be gutting them a bit.

As in, when those businesses eventually go out of business and they might need to put another business in there, the act of actually redeveloping the Hanok might make it too unstable and they'll have to raise it anyway.

They'll have to just demolish the Hanoks anyway from their... how do you say, redevelopment, the redesign.

Anyway, it was solidified 2018.

Then-Mayor Park Won-Soon designated Ikseon-dong as an official Hanok preservation area, so we don't have to worry about them getting bulldozed and turning into high-rises.

There's a lot of things to check out in Andong, right? What are some things, cool things that you saw when you went to Andong with your husband?

I remember, we stayed in Hanok, actually.

Okay.

So it was pretty nice.

And it was at that time in that year, which is the year of Joseph's going down to Egypt after his brothers had sold him, that Reuben, the son of Jacob, went to Timnah and took unto him for a wife Eliuram, the daughter of Avi the Canaanite, and he came to her.

And Eliuram, the wife of Reuben, conceived and bare him Hanok, Palu, Chetzeron, and Carmi, four sons.

And Simeon, his brother, took his sister Dinah for a wife, and she bare unto him Memuel, Yamin, Ohad, Yachin, and Zokar, five sons.

And he afterward came to Bunah, the Canaanitish woman, the same is Bunah whom Simeon took captive from the city of Shechem.
