A Warm Welcome and Introduction

A Warm Welcome

Hi, my name is Brian Hyunjun Kim, director of the Youth Cultural Corps branch in Baltimore, Maryland. I'm a college student, majoring in history, and attending Johns Hopkins University, Class of 2018. I sincerely welcome you to my humble blog.

Youth Cultural Corps is an organization based in South Korea, aiming to offer free English tours in Korean historical sites for foreign guests from all across the world. The tours are led by young students, from elementary to high school, who are fluent in English and are passionate about Korean history. Not only do students aim to explain historical sites in English, but also they aim to form global relations with their guests. It is essential for people around the world to interact and exchange with foreign cultures, and YCC is hoping to promote it.
Ms. Jung-hee Yoo (Founder of YCC)

Basically, we hope to promote Korea to the globalizing world and show foreigners the beauty of Korean history and culture. We always welcome foreign visitors (and you too!), and are more than excited to meet and greet.

If you are interested in visiting historical sites in Seoul, South Korea, we would be more than happy to offer you a free tour (literally, it is free with the exception of the entrance fee for certain sites)

Here are two ways you may get in contact with us.

One, you may send an email to ici@icworld.or.kr and ask for a free tour reservation.
Or you may send me an email at colorado96@naver.com and I can hook you up with the organization and help you with the reservation.

Two, you may simply visit these historical sites and look for young students in orange shirts. Either you find them, or they'll find you and approach you to offer a free tour. Then you're good to go!

Just to note, we currently offer services in these historical sites below:
-Gyeongbok Palace (경복궁)
-Namsan Traditional Village (남산한옥 마을)
-Seodaemun Prison Museum (서대문 형무소 박물관)
-Deoksu Palace (덕수궁)
-Seoul Education Museum (서울 교육박물관)
-Royal Tomb Museum (조선왕릉 박물관)
-Changdeok Palace (창덕궁)

(We are hoping to expand in areas of service)

In time, I will be uploading more blogposts about these areas with photos, in case you wish for more info. Stay tuned!

Thank you!
