Seoul Free Attractions

"7080 Memory Lane"

Words/Photos ⓒ Jjoy

Hi! I'm Jjoy, your travel blogger! 👋

I went on a trip to Seoul after a long time,

But it was a complete disaster because of the rain!!

Still, I decided to look around since I was already there,

So I wandered around despite the weather. lol

Our destination was the National Folk Museum of Korea next to Gyeongbokgung Palace.

Among other things, we focused on the 7080 Street.

And looked around.

National Folk Museum of Korea

On the way, there were pine trees and various sculptures.

Which was great to look around~

Nam O-seong General's Tomb Stele and Stone Objects

A 'yeonjabanga' (millstone) for grinding grains

Walking up while looking at these old objects and monuments,

You'll find the 7080 Memory Lane!


First, let's take a look around the school.

Reading is food for the soul lol

They recreated an elementary school classroom,

The facilities look better than when I went to school lol

It seems like it will be a space of memories if you come with your parents.

However, internal entry is not allowed

It's a little disappointing that you can only see it from the outside.

This is where the old supermarket is recreated!

100 won arcade games and 뽑기(random toy vending machine) in front of the stationery store

The supermarket items really bring back old memories~

Special Moment

Taking a picture as if going back to the 80s ^^

The appearance of the supermarket and stationery store

Each item is great for reminiscing about old memories~

I'm more impressed with the realistic appearance!

Next to the stationery store

There is a memory of a cart rocking horse

It brings back memories of riding it when I was young~

Mysterious Appearance

Passing by the public telephone

The lines for playing 땅따먹기 (ground-eating game) are drawn on the floor.

I used to play it a lot when I was young...lol

And they made a snack bar

I was amazed to see tteokbokki, fish cake, and steamed bread models

Amazing Scene

I also take a picture in front of the barber shop.

I think I used to be able to go inside and

I think I was able to look around,

But now there are hardly any places to go inside.

The back alleys of the neighborhood are also perfectly recreated!

Impressive Appearance

Passing by the rice store and sesame oil store

Here is a tearoom.

You can also go inside this place!

DJ space where music and stories were played

Beautiful Landscape

I also take an old-fashioned photo at Yaksok tearoom.

In the past, it was possible to rent clothes at the clothing store

I think I also took pictures at the photo studio

Currently, you can only see everything from the outside!!

The space where you can experience is

It's a shame that it's reduced.

Happy Moment

You can now only see the bathhouse from the front!

I think that's because there are so many people going in

I think it's because there are many parts that are damaged when you touch them~

Even if it's not wide, you can fall into old memories

Sufficient space!!

I took a lot of emotional pictures and came back ^^

Glamorous Scene

There is a children's museum next to it

This place is operated only by reservation

Advance reservation is essential!!

7080 Memory Lane is

Parents and children, lovers, friends

It's a great place to visit together.

Bright Future

It's good to enjoy it as a short course

It was a great place to take special pictures ❤️

It kept drizzling

I quickly looked around and retreated.

So I couldn't see Gyeongbokgung Palace

Did you come back? lol

Attractive Photo

There are so many foreigners wearing hanbok and taking pictures!

Gyeongbokgung Palace, Folk Museum, Bukchon Hanok Village

It's good to see them together~

I went to Bukchon Hanok Village as my next course.

I will post it separately soon ^^

"How to enjoy Seoul in a different way"

Take a night tour bus and visit popular tourist attractions.

Please take a look around easily~

The 1 hour 30 minute course is neither too long nor too short

Namsan Tower stops for 20-30 minutes for photo time!

Precious Memory

Thank you for reading!

Real Korea, Curated for Global Travelers

WassupKorea is a next-generation platform designed for foreigners who want to truly experience Korea — not just as tourists, but as locals. While countless Koreans have shared their daily lives, food experiences, and cultural tips through blogs, videos, and social media, much of this valuable content remains locked behind language barriers. WassupKorea solves this by collecting and curating high-quality local content and making it accessible to global audiences through real-time AI-powered translation. Instead of superficial recommendations, users gain access to authentic, first-hand stories — from hidden street food spots to weekend mountain hikes — written by Koreans for Koreans, now reinterpreted for the world.

AI-Powered Personalization, Translation, and Voice Interaction

What sets WassupKorea apart is its deep integration of artificial intelligence at the core of the platform. AI matches users with personalized content based on their language, nationality, and travel interests. Whether you're looking for vegan Korean food in Jeonju or part-time job tips in Seoul, the platform's smart engine brings the most relevant, timely posts to the forefront. Every piece of content — blog summaries, local guides, user comments — is instantly translated using advanced AI translators. Users can also listen to posts via natural-sounding voice AI in their own language. Real-time voice translation in community chats allows for live conversations between users from different countries. With voice synthesis, AI can even "learn" your voice preferences to create a more natural and immersive experience.

A Living Community Driven by Local Content and Global Connection

WassupKorea is more than just an information portal — it’s an AI-driven community hub that grows smarter as users interact. Travelers and residents alike can share their own content via links from TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube, or directly post on the platform. AI categorizes the content, suggests similar posts, and connects users with shared interests. Foreigners living in Korea can also access essential resources like visa tips, rental guides, job listings, and lifestyle hacks. As more content is generated and more interactions occur, the AI refines its recommendations — creating a dynamic feedback loop that benefits every user. WassupKorea bridges the gap between Korea’s deep local knowledge and the global audience eager to explore it, forming a smart, multilingual, and inclusive platform for everyone curious about life in Korea.
