At the time of this recording, there are a total of six active museums in South Korea solely in celebration and historical cataloging of their nation's music and one for world instruments. These museums are the http://gomuseum.seoul.go.kr/sekm/front/main.do?locale=KO (Seoul Museum of Korean Folk Music) the https://en.unesco.org/silkroad/silk-road-institutions/national-gugak-center-and-museum-gugak (National Gugak Museum) the https://english.visitkorea.or.kr/enu/ATR/SI_EN_3_1_1_1.jsp?cid=795006 (Nangye Korean Classical Music Museum) the http://www.e-musictour.com/ (Museum of Musical Instruments of the World), and the privately-owned http://kpopmuseum.com/ (K-pop Museum Gyeongju Branch) There are also three indefinitely closed ones, including the Museum of Traditional Korean Music. Aside from the relatively newer privately-owned attraction, two popular entertainment stops in South Korea for music lovers that are indefinitely closed were a sight to behold. Thus, this episode is in honor and anticipation – potentially alleged anticipation – of the return of the K-pop catalog originator, and the premiere label-specific collection. This episode is entitled, “Memories of SMTOWN Museum and PLAY KPOP.” Listen to this episode as we discuss history and share commentary about these two spaces.
Welcome to the Travelman Podcast, my name is Ben and I’ll be your travel buddy, on today’s episode my wife Mandy and I reminisce about the fantastic time we had in Seoul. We went on a ghost tour, we ate great food, drank too much Soju, scaled some great heights and enjoyed the Autumnal colours that Seoul welcomed us with. Enjoy the podcast! FYI: Bukchon Hanok Village dates back to the 14th century, within this area are beautiful narrow streets lined with wonderfully restored traditional homes. Most of the homes are renovated or getting renovated.
