Baek In-je House, located in Bukchon Hanok Village, is a hanok built during the Japanese administration period that portrays modern hanok features. The structure consists of a main room offering a good view of the whole village, spacious bedrooms, a large garden, and annex buildings. As it maintains the beauty of a traditional hanok while incorporating the modern trend of its time, Baek In-je House is considered to be highly valuable in means of both architecture and history, representing the Bukchon Hanok Village together with Yun Bo-seon House.

Baek In-je House was built from black pine, which was first introduced in Seoul during the Gyeongseong Expo in 1907, distinguishing itself from other upper-class houses of its time. Unlike other traditional hanok designs that separate the main building from the other rooms, Baek In-je House connects the two with a hallway, allowing convenient access between the two structures. The house also consists of a Japanese-style hallway and floor mat rooms, reflecting the interior trends of that period. Baek In-je House is also unique in that the main room is partially built as a two-story structure, a style that was never seen in any traditional hanok built during the Joseon period.

Maria Fertility Hospital (마리아병원)

Maria Fertility Hospital (마리아병원)

In 1967, Maria Obstetrics and Gynecology opened where the Maria Fertility Hospital (Sinseol-dong, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul) sits today, leading to the creation of the Maria Medical Foundation. At the time, the doctor willingly visited patients' houses with an old house-call bag even in the early mornings, no matter where a patient lived. This founding spirit became the root of the hospital's principles and commitment to its services.
Maria Fertility Hospital ranks number one in in-vitro fertilization cases, accounting for approximately 30% of the total cases among fertility hospitals. The hospital opened branches so that patients can conveniently experience the medical know-how of Maria Fertility Hospital no matter where they live across the country. The branches provide optimum diagnosis of problems through close collaborations among the branches.
The hospital has become a globally renowned fertility center, going beyond its unrivaled number-one position in fertility medicine in Korea. The hospital is dedicated to finding the best solution through research, and helping infertile patients realize their dreams of having a baby to create a healthy and happy family.
Maria Fertility Hospital is moving forward with the philosophy and heritage it inherited from the Maria Medical Foundation.

The Seoul Folk Flea Market originated from the flea market in Hwanghak-dong where many street shops and vendors gathered around Cheonggyecheon Stream before it was restored and modernized into its current state. The market was relocated to the Dongdaemun History & Culture Park (Formerly Dongdaemun Stadium) while the Cheonggyecheon Stream was undergoing restorations, and was moved back to Cheonggyecheon Stream sometime later. Seoul City aims to market Seoul Folk Flea Market as a new shopping spot at its current location, the former site of Sungin Girls' Middle School on Cheonggyeo 8-ga Street, near Cheonggyeocheon Stream to develop the Korean representative folk flea market-related tourism industry.



The main items of the Seoul Folk Flea Market include a diverse range of folk items, traditional crafts, local specialties and fashion items. You may also enjoy a range of foods and snacks including traditional Korean food and fusion cuisine from all over the world. What is special about the market is that you can find rare goods and authentic traditional items that cannot be found at other markets. The market atmosphere is a mix of old, revered traditions and modern aspects, providing visitors with a great shopping experience. The Seoul Folk Flea Market is truly a traditional flea market well worth visiting.
