The Seoul Hanok Management Academy is launching for the first time this year, offering free training on how to inspect, manage, and maintain Hanok houses.

Attention Seoul Citizens Living in Hanok or Interested in Hanok Stays!
Make sure to check the schedule for this free training on how to manage Hanok directly.
Why is the Seoul Hanok Management Academy being newly operated?
Hanok is built using natural materials such as wood, earth, and Hanji paper, making it important to detect and manage even small issues early on.
However, many people have felt lost regarding what to check in a Hanok and how to manage it when problems arise.
That’s why the city of Seoul is launching the 'Seoul Hanok Management Academy' this year!
This program allows citizens to inspect their own Hanok and learn simple management and maintenance techniques.
